Abstract

An activity amount-related information display apparatus according to the present invention acquires value information indicating exercise intensity, activity amount, or expended calories of a measurement subject. On a display screen, a circle corresponding to one day is set, and time divisions each indicating elapse of a unit time in the one day are set clockwise around the circle. Value information is displayed as a graph composed of a collection of bars that extend outward in a radial direction around the circle and have lengths of multiple levels, the lengths each corresponding to a value indicated by the value information for a unit time.

Claims (22)

1. An activity amount-related information display apparatus for displaying information relating to an activity amount of a measurement subject as a graph on a display screen, comprising:

a controller configured or programmed to define and function as:

a value information acquirer that acquires value information indicating an exercise intensity, an activity amount, or expended calories of the measurement subject; and

a first display processor that, on the display screen, sets a circle or a circular arc corresponding to one day, sets time divisions each indicating elapse of a unit time in the one day clockwise around the circle or the circular arc, and displays the value information as a graph composed of a collection of bars that extend outward in a radial direction around the circle or the circular arc and have lengths of a plurality of levels, the lengths each corresponding to a value indicated by the value information for a unit time; wherein

on the display screen, the first display processor grays out a graph for a previous day, uses it as a background graph, and displays a graph for a current day written over the background graph using a color different from gray of the background graph.

2. The activity amount-related information display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured or programmed to define and function as:

a target value setter that acquires an achieved value for exercise intensity, activity amount, or expended calories of the measurement subject for a past period prior to the one day that serves as a target period, and based on the achieved value, sets a target value for exercise intensity, activity amount, or expended calories for the one day of the measurement subject;

an achievement degree acquirer that, based on the value information, calculates and acquires an achievement degree with respect to the target value for the exercise intensity, activity amount, or expended calories of the measurement subject for the one day; and

a digital display processor that displays the achievement degree as a numerical value on the display screen.

3. An activity amount-related information display apparatus for displaying information relating to an activity amount of a measurement subject as a graph on a display screen, comprising:

a controller configured or programmed to define and function as:

an achievement degree acquirer that acquires an achievement degree with respect to a target value for exercise intensity, activity amount, or expended calories over a certain target period of the measurement subject; and

a second display processor that, on the display screen, sets a dark-colored circle, a white or daylight-colored ring-shaped region surrounding the circle in a ring shape, and a dark-colored background region surrounding the ring-shaped region, and displays the ring-shaped region with a radial direction dimension varied according to the achievement degree,

wherein a brightness of the ring-shaped region gradually decreases moving outward in a radial direction so as to be continuous with the brightness of the background region.

4. The activity amount-related information display apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:

an image memory that stores a plurality of candidate images each having a different radial direction dimension, with which the ring-shaped region is to be displayed and; wherein

the controller is further configured or programmed to define and function as an image selector that, among the plurality of candidate images, selects a candidate image having a radial direction dimension corresponding to the achievement degree for the target period.

5. The activity amount-related information display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the controller is further configured or programmed to define and function as:

a target value setter that acquires an achieved value for exercise intensity, activity amount, or expended calories of the measurement subject for a past period prior to the target period, and based on the achieved value, sets the target value for the target period of the measurement subject.

6. The activity amount-related information display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first display processor makes the length of the bar longer as the value indicated by the value information becomes larger.

7. The activity amount-related information display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first display processor makes the length of the bar longer by increasing a number of colored segments in the bar.
