PULSE MEASUREMENT DEVICE, PULSE MEASUREMENT METHOD, AND PULSE MEASUREMENT PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A pulse measurement device comprising:
- a data obtainment unit configured to obtain a pulse wave signal expressing a pulse by detecting a pulse of a measurement subject using a pulse wave sensor;
a storage unit configured to store the pulse wave signal;
a frequency conversion unit configured to find a frequency spectrum of the pulse wave signal by converting the time-domain pulse wave signal stored in the storage unit into a frequency domain;
a rest state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the measurement subject is at rest by finding a frequency range, within a predetermined total frequency range the pulse rate of a person can take on, in which an intensity of a frequency component of the frequency spectrum exceeds a first threshold, and finding whether or not a percentage of the total frequency range occupied by the frequency range is less than a second threshold; and
a pulse rate obtainment unit configured to find a pulse rate from the point in time when the measurement subject has been determined to be at rest as the measurement subject'"'"'s at-rest pulse rate.

Abstract
A pulse wave signal expressing a pulse is obtained by detecting a measurement subject'"'"'s pulse a using a pulse wave sensor. The pulse wave signal is stored in a storage unit. A frequency spectrum of the pulse wave signal is found by converting the time-domain pulse wave signal into the frequency domain. Whether or not the measurement subject is at rest is determined by finding a frequency range, within a predetermined total frequency range the pulse rate of a person can take on, in which an intensity of a frequency component of the frequency spectrum exceeds a first threshold, and finding whether or not a percentage of the total frequency range occupied by the frequency range is less than a second threshold. A pulse rate from the point in time when the measurement subject has been determined to be at rest is found as the measurement subject'"'"'s at-rest pulse rate.

6. A pulse measurement method comprising:
-
a step of obtaining a pulse wave signal expressing a pulse by detecting a pulse of a measurement subject using a pulse wave sensor and storing the pulse wave signal in a storage unit; a step of finding a frequency spectrum of the pulse wave signal by converting the time-domain pulse wave signal stored in the storage unit into a frequency domain; a step of determining whether or not the measurement subject is at rest by finding a frequency range, within a predetermined total frequency range the pulse rate of a person can take on, in which an intensity of a frequency component of the frequency spectrum exceeds a first threshold, and finding whether or not a percentage of the total frequency range occupied by the frequency range is less than a second threshold; and a step of finding, as the measurement subject'"'"'s at-rest pulse rate, a frequency indicating a maximum intensity peak among the intensity peaks contained in the frequency spectrum when it has been determined that the measurement subject is at rest. - View Dependent Claims (7)
