Apparatus for processing body signals
First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing body signals, comprising;
- at least one sensor for picking up electrical signals from a living body, means for preparing for further processing picked-up signals;
at least one first memory for a picked-up measurement signal or portion thereof, at least one second memory that contains a predeterminable comparison signal that is finite in respect of time, and a means for signal comparing that is connected to the second memory and the first memory and that is adapted for sliding comparison of signal portions, which overlap in respect of time, of the measurement signal in the first memory to the comparison signal stored in the second memory and for output of a correlation coefficient representing the similarity of each compared signal portion of the measurement signal to the comparison signal.

Abstract
Apparatus for processing body signals, comprising at least one sensor (10, 12) for picking up in particular electrical signals from a living body, and means (16, 18) for preparing picked-up signals for further processing, and at least one first memory (22) for a picked-up measurement signal or signal portions, comprising at least one second memory (26) which contains a predeterminable comparison signal which is finite in respect of time, and signal comparison means (24) which are connected to the second memory (26) and the first memory (22) and which are adapted for sliding comparison of signal portions, which overlap in respect of time, of the measurement signal in the first memory (22) to the comparison signal stored in the second memory (26) and for output of a correlation coefficient representing the similarity of each compared signal portion of the measurement signal to the comparison signal.
