PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an error of a measurement result of the number of steps taken by a user which may be caused by the movement of a movable part of a portable device functioning even as a pedometer.SOLUTION: A main control part (1) comprises: a step counting part (11) which counts user's steps based upon an acceleration sensor (50) detecting a physical phenomenon accompanying a walking action of the user; and a step counting control part (10) which controls an operation of at least one of the sensor (50), the step counting part (11), and a drive part (40) of a robot (100) so that when the robot (100) is carried by the user and the drive part (40) operates influencing the measurement of the step counting part (11), the influence is reduced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
