Gait recognition method and corresponding pedometer

The embodiment of the invention discloses a gait recognition method and a corresponding pedometer. The gait recognition method comprises the following steps: acquiring acceleration signals during wrist movement, wherein the acceleration signals comprise a first sensitive shaft signal and a second sensitive shaft signal; selecting one of the first sensitive shaft signal and the second sensitive shaft signal as the current gait recognition signal according to the moving state of the previous gait; determining whether the current gait is complete or not by judging the conversion between a wave peak section and a wave trough section of the current gait recognition signal based on the dynamic threshold value preset for the previous gait. The gait recognition method is capable of effectively recognizing running and other walking modes, thus improving the step-counting accuracy.
