Abstract:
1. A motion determination apparatus comprising: a basic motion determination module configured to determine basic motions of a user, based on sensor signals each representing a motion of the user and detected by a sensor, wherein each of the basic motions corresponds to any one of a stop motion, a walking motion, a running motion, and a bending down motion; a basic motion recording module configured to record the basic motions in a temporal sequence; a motion scene determination table recording module configured to record a motion scene determination table in which each of the basic motions and a condition under which each of the basic motions occurs are associated with a corresponding one of motion scenes; a motion scene determination module configured to determine that each of the basic motions recorded in the temporal sequence corresponds to a certain one of the motion scenes, based on the motion scene determination table; a detailed label determination table recording module configured to record a detailed label determination table in which each of detailed labels indicating a detailed motion included in the respective motion scenes is associated with a corresponding one of the motion scenes; and a detailed label determination module configured to determine that each of the basic motions corresponds to a certain one of the detailed labels, based on the detailed label determination table.
