Abstract

To improve the usability of an electronic device, the electronic device includes: a first communication unit located near a user; a receive unit configured to receive data through communication via a body of the user or near field communication between a second communication unit located in a member used by the user and the first communication unit; and a recording unit configured to record data pertaining to the member when communication is established between the first communication unit and the second communication unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a processor of a mobile terminal to execute a process, the mobile terminal including: a camera; a display; a memory; and the processor, the process comprising:
while communicating with a device including a sensor attached to equipment used to perform a swing, the device measuring acceleration and angular velocity of the device,
causing the camera to capture an image and
receiving, from the device, first data including acceleration and angular velocity of the device measured by the sensor attached to the equipment;

storing in the memory the first data including the acceleration and the angular velocity of the device measured by the sensor in association with image data generated by the camera;
reading second data relating to a second swing stored in the memory; and
displaying on the display (i) information based on the first data, (ii) information based on the second data in a comparable manner, and (iii) an associated image generated from the image data.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises transmitting the information based on the first data to an external device.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises extracting data of a maximum acceleration from a plurality of the data relating to the acceleration.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises extracting data of a maximum angular velocity from a plurality of data relating to the angular velocity.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises storing a body height of a user of the equipment in the memory.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises storing a type of the equipment in the memory.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises reading the second data specified from a plurality of the second data stored in the memory.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the process further comprises causing the mobile terminal to perform notification about the swing.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the storing includes storing in the memory the first data including the acceleration and the angular velocity measured by the sensor in association with the image data generated by the camera depending on the first data.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a processor of a mobile terminal to execute a process, the mobile terminal including: a camera configured to capture an image; a communication interface configured to communicate with an external device including a sensor attached to equipment, the external device measuring acceleration and angular velocity of the external device; a memory; and the processor, the process comprising:
capturing, by the camera, an image of a swing performed with use of the equipment;
receiving first data including acceleration and angular velocity of the external device measured by the sensor attached to the equipment from the sensor through the communication interface;
calculating second data relating to the swing based on the first data; and
storing in the memory image data generated by the camera in association with the first data including the acceleration and the angular velocity of the external device measured by the sensor or the second data.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises displaying an image generated from the image data, the first data, or the second data on a display.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises storing a plurality of the first data or a plurality of the second data in the memory in chronological order.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises storing data relating to a swing with respect to each of a plurality of types of equipment in the memory.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises:
reading data of a professional golfer; and
performing comparison based on (i) the first data or the second data and (ii) the data of the professional golfer.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , wherein the process further comprises displaying (i) information based on the first data or information based on the second data and (ii) information based on the data of the professional golfer on a display in a comparable manner.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises:
reading data of a professional golfer;
reading data obtained on a specific date from the first data or the second data stored in the memory; and
comparing the data of the professional golfer to the data obtained on the specific date.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises storing the image data generated by the camera in association with the first data or the second data in the memory when the external device outputs a predetermined output.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises starting the storing of the image data generated by the camera in the memory when the external device outputs a predetermined output.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the first data is at least one of data of acceleration and data of angular velocity.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the second data is data about a ratio of a practice of the swing performed with use of the equipment, a number of swings performed with use of the equipment, a speed of the swing performed with use of the equipment, a form of the swing performed with use of the equipment, a level of proficiency in the swing performed with use of the equipment, and a duration for which a swing is performed with use of the equipment.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the storing includes storing in the memory the image data generated by the camera in association with the first data including the acceleration and the angular velocity of the equipment measured by the sensor or the second data depending on the first data.
