Total consumed calories are indicated in an upper portion of a display. A life activity intensity of each of the past seven days and an average life activity intensity over the same period are indicated by a bar graph in a lower portion of the display. The life activity intensity is classified into rank I (light), rank II (medium), and rank III (a little heavy). A total exercise amount (i.e., total consumed calories) and a life activity intensity are calculated and automatically displayed at the end of a day. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the problems in the art, an object of the present invention is to provide an exercise amount measuring device which not only enables a subject person to judge more easily of the appropriateness of an exercise taken, but also allows him to know a necessary exercise amount.
Another object of the invention is to provide an exercise amount measuring device which allows a user to recognize not only total consumed calories in a prescribed period but also consumed calories of each of action types including sitting and standing, not to mention walking and running.
A further object of the invention is to provide an exercise amount measuring device which allows a user to recognize not only an exercise amount necessary to consume calories of ingested food but also a degree and a time length of exercise he should perform for the same purpose.
According to a first aspect of the invention, in an exercise amount measuring device comprising an acceleration sensor for detecting a body movement of a living body, means for calculating an exercise amount based on a detection signal of the acceleration sensor, and a display section for displaying the calculated exercise amount, a remaining target calorie value or a target exercise amount is calculated and displayed.
Therefore, a user can recognize the amount of exercise to perform further.
According to another embodiment, a life activity index is calculated and displayed, for instance, so as to be classified as one of ranks that are associated with respective preset life activity intensities.
Therefore, a user can recognize whether his exercise is at an appropriate level.
A difference or ratio between a target value and a measured value may be displayed.
Further, an exercise time corresponding to the difference between the target value and the measured value may be displayed, which allows a user to recognize, more easily, the amount of exercise to perform further.
According to a further embodiment, an exercise amount, and a difference between a target value and a measured value or the tendency of a temporal variation of a life activity index
