BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION DEVICE AND BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION METHOD
First Claim
1. A biological information acquisition device comprising:
- a light emitting unit which casts light on a living body;
a plurality of light receiving units which receives the light transmitted through the living body; and
a control unit which controls the light emitting unit and the light receiving units;
wherein the control unitcauses the light emitting unit to emit light as a measurement light emitting unit, causes a plurality of measurement light receiving units spaced apart from the measurement light emitting unit by a first distance, of the plurality of light receiving units, to receive the light cast from the measurement light emitting unit and thus acquires a plurality of light receiving results, andacquires biological information using a first light receiving result with a highest light reception intensity and a second light receiving result with a lowest light reception intensity, of the plurality of light receiving results.

Abstract
A biological information acquisition device includes: a light emitting unit which casts light on a living body; a plurality of light receiving units which receives the light transmitted through the living body; and a control unit which controls the light emitting unit and the light receiving units. The control unit causes the light emitting unit to emit light as a measurement light emitting unit, causes a plurality of measurement light receiving units spaced apart from the measurement light emitting unit by a first distance, of the plurality of light receiving units, to receive the light cast from measurement light emitting unit and thus acquires a plurality of light receiving results, and acquires biological information using a first light receiving result with a highest light reception intensity and a second light receiving result with a lowest light reception intensity, of the plurality of light receiving results.
