[06/07/2010] Integration in Personal Electronic Devices
The pedometers are successfully integrated in many electronic devices such as MP3 players, cell phones, smart phones and even gaming consoles.
Nike and Apple teamed up and released on the market their Nike+iPod Sports Kit, which uses sensors in the shoes to gather and wirelessly transmit various data like calories burnt, distance traveled, and elapsed time to a MP3 Player.
Pedometer phone was released by Fujitsu in 2004 and gained popularity almost overnight. It makes use of built-in sensors that work 24/7, tracking every step that the person who carries the phone takes.
The iPhone and iPod Touch have built-in accelerometers, which allows these devices to be used as pedometers as well; this was made possible by developing various different applications, which make the use of the accelerometer and count the steps taken by the owner of the device, as well as the distance that he or she covers, and the estimated calories burnt.
Nokia has also incorporated pedometers in some of its mobile phones – the Nokia 5500 Sports phone comes with a built-in MEMS sensor, which is the same sensor used by most of the stand-alone pedometers. The software called Nokia Sports Tracker makes the use of the Symbian phones’ accelerators and records the number of steps, distance and calories burnt as well; the Nokia Step Counter is similar software that works on wide array of Nokia phones as well.
Nintendo has released an application called “Personal Trainer: Walking” for their handheld console, the Nintendo DS and this application makes the use of two pedometers that connect to the console wirelessly.
Other devices that integrate pedometers are the W710 and W580 walkman phones by Sony Ericsson and the Philips Activa MP3 player.
