Abstract:
To provide an electronic device, a data processing method and a data processing program capable of measuring a stable ascending/descending velocity on which the most recent ascending/descending state is reflected. The electronic device includes an altitude measurement unit measuring altitudes, an altitude change determination unit determining an altitude change state based on altitudes measured by the altitude measurement unit within a predetermined first time interval until a current time and an ascending/descending velocity calculation unit calculating an ascending/descending velocity based on altitudes measured by the altitude measurement unit within a second time interval until the current time, which is equal to the first time interval or longer than the first time interval.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes: a storage unit that stores unit information relating to a movement with respect to each of an elevating state and a horizontal movement state; an altitude measurement unit that measures an altitude; an altitude change determination unit that determines whether the movement is the elevating state or the horizontal movement state based on the altitude measured by the altitude measurement unit; and a movement distance calculator that reads the unit information corresponding to the state determined by the altitude change determination unit from the storage unit and calculates a movement distance based on the read unit information.
Abstract:
To measure a walking pitch or a running pitch more accurately with a simpler structure. Acceleration sensors detect accelerations and output acceleration signals corresponding to the accelerations. A CPU detects a cycle in which a user touches the ground at the time of walking or running based on the acceleration signal and calculating a first pitch based on the cycle of touching the ground. The CPU also detects a cycle in which the user swings his/her arms based on the acceleration signal and calculates a second pitch based on the cycle of swinging arms. The CPU determines either one of the first pitch and the second pitch which satisfies a given condition as a walking or running pitch of the user.

There is provided an electronic timepiece of the invention that includes a solar panel which receives light to generate electric power, is operated with the electric power supplied from a secondary battery charged with an electromotive voltage of the solar panel, and stops a display operation of a display unit with transition to a power saving mode under predetermined conditions, the electronic timepiece including a control unit (mode control unit) which avoids transition from the normal mode to the power saving mode, when a voltage of the secondary battery is equal to or more than a predetermined voltage value.
Abstract:
A stepping motor control device is configured to drive a stepping motor by applying a normal drive pulse or a fixed pulse having an energy larger than that of the normal drive pulse. The stepping motor control device includes a determination unit configured to, based on whether or not a pulse applied to the stepping motor before the normal drive pulse is the fixed pulse, determine whether or not to add a degaussing pulse is applied to the normal drive pulse, the degaussing pulse being a pulse for canceling a residual magnetic flux generated in a stator of the stepping motor when the fixed pulse; and a drive control unit configured to, based on a determination result of the determination unit, drive the stepping motor with the normal drive pulse to which the degaussing pulse is added.
Abstract:
A timepiece movement includes a control unit that determines a position of an indicating hand by detecting a rotation state of a rotor, and a train wheel that transmits a drive force of a stepping motor to the indicating hand, and that has a first gear, and a second gear and a third gear which mesh with the first gear. The first gear has a reference load unit that causes fluctuations in a load applied to the rotor in each case of meshing with the second gear and the third gear. A first line segment which connects a center of the first gear and a center of the second gear to each other forms an angle smaller than 180° with a second line segment which connects the center of the first gear and a center of the third gear.

A timepiece includes a communication unit that controls communication with a communication device by using a periodic communication radio wave, and a control unit that controls a hand operation of an indicating hand driven by a motor. The control unit sets a hand operation permission period during which the hand operation of the indicating hand is permitted starting from communication timing of the communication radio wave.

An electronic device includes an altitude measurement unit, an altitude change determination unit, and an elevating speed calculator. The altitude measurement unit measures an altitude, the altitude change determination unit determines whether a change state of the altitude measured by the altitude measurement unit is at least an ascending state or a descending state, and the elevating speed calculator calculates an average elevating speed in each change state determined by the altitude change determination unit based on the altitude measured by the altitude measurement unit. A data processing method in the electronic device and a data processing program executed by a computer of the electronic device may be realized.
