Abstract:
The present invention provides an information processing system including a portable information terminal having a plurality of functions and a wireless terminal which wirelessly communicates with the portable information terminal. The wireless terminal includes an acquisition unit for acquiring function information indicating a plurality of programs contained in the portable information terminal from the portable information terminal and a launch instruction unit for, in response to selection of a program of a plurality of programs indicated by the function information acquired by the acquisition unit, transmitting to the portable information terminal a launch instruction signal for instructing to launch the selected program. The portable information terminal includes a processing unit for starting execution of a program whose launch is instructed by the launch instruction signal following reception of the launch instruction signal from the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
A training supporting system has a training supporting apparatus and an exercise form analyzing apparatus, the both apparatuses being connected to each other through a communication network. The training supporting apparatus is worn on the arm of a user and measures acceleration rates of motion of the user's body where the apparatus is fitted on, at least in the three directions along X-, Y- and Z-axes, while the user is walking or running. Receiving the measured acceleration rates from the training supporting apparatus through the communication network, the exercise form analyzing apparatus analyzes an exercise form including balance between arm swing and foot landing, and sends back the analysis result of the exercise form to the training supporting apparatus through the communication network.
