Claim Text:
1. A mobile terminal, comprising: a first fixed-interval timer configured to count a first interval; a second fixed-interval timer configured to count a second interval that is longer than the first interval; a motion acceleration detection unit configured to obtain a first period of acceleration data from an acceleration sensor at the first interval and detect motion acceleration based on the first period of acceleration data; a walking state detection unit configured to, when the motion acceleration is detected based on the first period of acceleration data, obtain a second period of acceleration data from the acceleration sensor and detect a walking state or a non-walking state based on the second period of acceleration data, the second period being longer than the first period; and a continuous walking determining unit configured to determine that continuous walking is detected when the walking state is detected a predetermined number of times or more within the second interval.
