The number of mobile phone steps refers to the way that the mobile phone application records the distance and number of steps the user walks by means of built-in sensors or connecting external devices, thus helping the user to know his daily exercise and health.
How is the number of mobile phone steps calculated?
The calculation of mobile phone steps depends on the acceleration sensor built in the mobile phone or the connected external equipment, and the steps are calculated by measuring the user's walking frequency, stride, steps and exercise time. Specifically, the calculation process of mobile phone steps includes the following steps:
Detecting the user's motion state: When the user starts to exercise, the mobile phone will detect the acceleration change of the user and judge whether the user is walking.
Measure the stride: The mobile phone will record the stride of each step of the user, that is, the distance of each walk.
Step counting: according to the user's stride and exercise time, the mobile phone will count the user's steps.
Filtering errors: In order to avoid errors, the mobile phone will filter out some irregular actions, such as jumping and going up and down stairs.
Calculate the distance: According to the user's steps and strides, the mobile phone can calculate the distance the user walks.
How accurate is the number of mobile phone steps?
The accuracy of mobile phone steps is influenced by many factors, such as the sensor accuracy of mobile phone, the user's stride, the movement mode and so on. Generally speaking, the step accuracy of mobile phones is not as good as that of professional sports watches or pedometers, but it is enough for ordinary users. If more accurate data is needed, users can consider using a professional sports watch or pedometer.
