Abstract
In this paper, a device for analyzing the pressure distribution during walking was produced by using the pressure sensor on the heel. This device was limited to a frequency band by using the 1st low-pass filter. And an algorithm to analyze the value of the quantity to pressure using a analog to digital converter. It is used by using the threshold voltage of pressure sensor, it is suggested the algorithm. The algorithm is detected the peak which is exceeded the threshold voltage. and thus in accordance, it is detected the number of steps. And the calorie consumption were detected by using it. Also it used an MCU and Bluetooth. And by confirming the data at the LCD of the other MCU, it was to reduce the size of the device. According to this algorithm, it has the advantage that there is no restriction on the activity than when using an imaging device and it is inexpensive than other sensors such as an acceleration sensor or a gyro and it is easy to handle.
