Abstract

The invention pertains to a portable device comprising a housing, a display, a storage medium, at least one acceleration sensor, means for calculating an activity parameter based on the signal generated by the acceleration sensor, storing the calculated parameter in the storage medium, and showing the same in the display. The said parameter is the Physical Activity Index (PAI) or a derivative thereof.

Claims (11)

1. Portable device (1) comprising a housing (2), a display (3), a storage medium (18), at least one acceleration sensor (14), means (17) for calculating an activity parameter based on the signal generated by the acceleration sensor (14), storing the calculated parameter in the storage medium (18), and showing the same in the display (3), characterised in that the said parameter is the Physical Activity, Index (PAI) or a derivative thereof, which is calculated by multiplying an average of the absolute values of a signal or samples of a signal of the acceleration sensor (14) with, at least one constant.
2. Portable device (1) according to claim 1, wherein the said average is at least multiplied by a metabolic factor.
3. Portable device (1) according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the said average is at least multiplied by a calibration factor which depends on the sensor (14).
4. Portable device (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device (1) further comprises a rectifier (19) for rectifying the signal generated by the acceleration sensor (14) and a capacitor (20) which is charged by the rectified signal.
5. Portable device (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device (14) comprises an input/output connector (13, 13', 13'') which enables the transfer of at least some of the stored information to a computer that contains or is connected or connectable to an electronic database and/or an electronic algorithm.
6. Portable device (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device (1) comprises a clip (9) for attaching the device (1) to an item of clothing, such as a belt, of a wearer such that rotation of the device (1) with respect to the wearer is substantially avoided and wherein the sensor (14) is positioned at an angle in the range from 30 to 60 degrees to the horizon when the wearer is standing upright.
7. A method of generating instructions or advice on how to increase physical activity and tailored to objective needs and/or preferences of an individual, which method involves electronically obtaining a parameter concerning that individual and selecting, based on the said parameter, one or more instructions or advice components from a database, wherein the said parameter is the Physical Activity Index (PAI) or a derivative thereof.
8. Method according to claim 7, wherein the said parameter is uploaded to a remote server system, which selects, based on this parameter, one or more instructions or advice components from a database and wherein the selected items or a processed version thereof are subsequently downloaded.
9. A method according to claim 7 or 8, wherein an identification code is uploaded to the remote server system.
10. A computer program comprising program code means for performing all the steps of claim 7, 8 or 9 when said program is run on a computer.
11. A computer program product code means stored in a computer readable medium for performing the method of claim 7, 8 or 9 when said program product is run on a computer.
