Abstract

In a wrist terminal 1, the measurement information acquiring unit 51 acquires position information. The first timing detection unit 52 detects a standby state for a sport. The second timing detection unit 53 detects predetermined start timing of the sport. If the first timing detection unit 52 detects the standby state, the recording control unit 54 makes the measurement information acquiring unit 51 start acquiring position information to continue acquiring position information sequentially at predetermined intervals. If the second timing detection unit 53 detects the predetermined start timing, the recording control unit 54 stores position information being part of the position information already acquired by the measurement information acquiring unit 51 and corresponding to the predetermined start timing into a ROM 16 or a removable medium 31.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A movement analyze device used for a sport, the movement analyze device comprising:
a processor configured to execute:
a first detection processing comprising detecting a standby state of a user engaged in the sport based on a positional relationship between the user and a shoreline;
a second detection processing comprising detecting a predetermined start timing of the sport after detecting the standby state; and
a control processing comprising:
in response to the first detecting processing detecting the standby state, starting successive acquisition of position information of the user at predetermined intervals; and
in response to the second detecting processing detecting the predetermined start timing of the sport, storing position information already acquired and corresponding to the predetermined start timing to a storage device.

2. The movement analyze device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control processing comprises generating a movement path based on the position information stored to the storage device.

3. The movement analyze device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the control processing comprises controlling a display to display the movement path generated.

4. The movement analyze device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second detection processing comprises detecting the predetermined start timing of the sport and finish timing of the sport, and
wherein the control processing comprises storing a period of time from the start timing to the finish timing as a duration of one motion to the storage device.

5. The movement analyze device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the control processing comprises storing position information corresponding to the duration of the one motion to the storage device.

6. The movement analyze device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second detection processing comprises detecting timing of increase of movement of the user to a predetermined speed per hour or more as the predetermined start timing.

7. The movement analyze device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second detection processing comprises detecting timing of reduction of movement of the user to a predetermined speed per hour or less as finish timing after the predetermined start timing is detected.

8. The movement analyze device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sport is at least one of surfing and bodyboarding, and
wherein the control processing comprises storing measurement data about one motion showing that a predetermined speed per hour or more has been measured.

9. The movement analyze device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the control processing comprises storing measurement data about the one motion showing that the predetermined speed per hour or more has been measured several times.

10. The movement analyze device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the first detection processing comprises identifying the sport in which the user is in the standby state as at least one of surfing and bodyboarding.

11. The movement analyze device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the first detection processing comprises:
determining whether a current position of the user is at sea based on the position relationship between the user and the shoreline; and
in response to determining that the user is at sea, detecting that the user is in the standby state.

12. The movement analyze device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the control processing comprises controlling the display to display a plurality of types of measurement information acquired about the sport engaged in by the user with a map showing a current position of the user as a background of the display.

13. The movement analyze device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the control processing comprises controlling the display to display the movement path with a map showing a current position of the user as a background of the display.

14. The movement analyze device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the control processing comprises controlling the display to display a path from a takeoff position to a wipeout position as the movement path and a change of a moving speed of the user on the movement path.

15. The movement analyze device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the sport is to be performed in a sea adjacent to a coast, and
wherein the control processing comprises controlling a display to display the movement path in such a manner that a range including the sea is displayed on one side of the display and a range including the coast is displayed on an opposing side of the display.

16. A movement analyze method used for a sport, the movement analyze method comprising:
a first detection processing comprising detecting a standby state of a user engaged in the sport based on a positional relationship between the user and a shoreline;
a second detection processing comprising detecting a predetermined start timing of the sport after detecting the standby state;
in response to the first detecting processing detecting the standby state, starting successive acquisition of position information of the user at predetermined intervals; and
in response to the second detecting processing detecting the predetermined start timing of the sport, storing position information already acquired and corresponding to the predetermined start timing to a storage device.

17. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that controls a processor of a movement analyze device used for a sport to execute:
a first detection processing of detecting a standby state of a user engaged in the sport based on a positional relationship between the user and a shoreline;
a second detection processing of detecting a predetermined start timing of the sport after detecting the standby state; and
a control processing comprising:
in response to the first detecting processing detecting the standby state, starting successive acquisition of position information of the user at predetermined intervals; and
in response to the second detecting processing detecting the predetermined start timing of the sport, storing position information already acquired and corresponding to the predetermined start timing to a storage device.
