In a guidance support device to be used by being inserted into footwear, a plurality of vibration generating members generate vibrations at a plurality of positions on a foot of a user who uses the guidance support device. A position acquisition part acquires a current position. A route acquisition part acquires a route from the current position to a destination. A vibration control part, on condition that a route pattern at a current position on the route fits any one of a plurality of predetermined patterns, vibrates the vibration generating members in a combination corresponding to the pattern.

COMMUNICATION AND USER INTERFACE CONTROL IN USER ACTIVITY MONITORING SYSTEMS

In some aspects, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed that has an application stored thereon that when executed by a processor of an electronic device causes the processor to perform a process. The process can include receiving motion data from a motion sensor, the motion data being indicative of motion by a user while wearing the motion sensor. The process can also include transmitting the motion data to a server, receiving from the server a time that the motion data indicates a foot of the user experienced a loading force which risked adversely impacting an existing foot ulcer or causing a new foot ulcer, determining a geographic location of the motion sensor at the time that the foot experienced the loading force, displaying the time and the geographic location, and requesting that the user identify an activity engaged in by the user at the time and the geographic location.
