Just by launching it on a smartphone, the life log application that keeps track of the day's behavior pattern almost automatically automatically is "Moves"is. The convenience and accuracy of judging the behavior pattern automatically is highly appreciated, it was a paid app previously sold for 300 yen, but it was bought by Facebook in April 2014 and get free Now that I can do it, I decided to install and use it.

Moves - Activity Diary for iPhone and Android

Moves is an application that automatically records the user's actions simply by keeping the smartphone close to us and furthermore determines the moving means almost automatically. For example, the following screen is log data when walking by bicycle and walking. Since the time and the means moved from the start position are displayed along the flow of time, it is made to understand by only looking at the action of the day.


It is also possible to take statistics on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.


Most of life log applications are already released, but usually there are things that you need to press buttons when walking or riding a bicycle, Moves is convenient simply to put it in your pocket or bag It is a big point. In addition, it is also possible to check your own action record and the moved place with a map etc using PC.

◆ Installing and initializing Moves

◆ I actually tried using it
I immediately took the data by actually using it. A map of the number of steps walked and the area of ​​the current location is displayed.


Next, I tried moving on a bicycle. After running for a while and checking the screen, the line extends below the map and "Bicycle 4 minutes"It was displayed.


In the meantime, despite the fact that the terminal has never been operated, it was a surprising ability to show that someone was on a bicycle as though someone was watching. It seems that the difference in moving speed, the data of the motion sensor built in the terminal, etc. are sent to the center, and the contents are determined by our own algorithm.

I continued to surround the surroundings. I tried riding a bike, pushing, walking, I tried a little break, but both were recorded accurately.


When you tap the circle displayed on the screen, the number of steps, travel time / distance, calories burned are switched in order so that it is displayed.


Since it is said that it mainly discriminates the moving means from the speed, in some cases the type may not be accurately judged. The following screen is a display when I got on the train, but it was roughly discriminated as "Transportation".


In that case, tap the pencil icon to the right of the type. Then a detailed type list is displayed, so we could select items and set them as original type.


There are about 30 types of prepared items, so they were able to cover most of the actions.


The screen which I took the data all day is like this. The actions from leaving the house in the morning until returning are recorded almost exclusively, and it is possible to log accurately.

With Moves, it is also possible to download the acquired log data. In order to download, access the following site on the PC.

When decompressing the downloaded compressed file, the following file appeared.


Since 8 kinds of data are downloaded at the same time, there seems to be various ways of utilizing as necessary. For example, when opening a KML file that can be opened in Google Earth etc ... ...


Movement data recorded on the screen of Google Earth was displayed. The section displayed in gray is the section that was traveling by train.


The section of walking was displayed with a yellow green line.


In this way, Moves was an application that keeps accurate data almost automatically while being a free application. People who are interested in acquiring life logs are likely to be worth a try once.
