Pulse detector and pulse detection method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A pulse detector that detects a pulse signal originating from the pulse of a human body, comprising:
- a pulse wave sensor that outputs a first pulse wave signal in which the pulse signal and a noise signal are mixed, wherein the noise signal includes a normal signal having a high autocorrelation and an abnormal noise signal having a low autocorrelation;
a motion sensor that outputs a motion signal in response to a motion of the human body;
a first filtering unit that outputs a second pulse wave signal including the pulse signal and the normal noise signal extracted from the first pulse wave signal;
a second filtering unit that outputs a third pulse wave signal which the normal noise signal has been suppressed using the second pulse wave signal and the motion signal; and
an analyzing unit that analyzes the third pulse wave signal to obtain a frequency information corresponding to the third pulse wave signal;
wherein the first filtering unit outputs the second pulse wave signal using the first pulse wave signal and the third pulse wave signal.

Abstract
A pulse detector that detects a pulse signal originating from the pulse of a human body includes: a pulse wave sensor that detects and outputs a first pulse wave signal in which the pulse signal and a noise signal are mixed; and a first filtering unit that generates an adaptive spectral line enhancer based on the first pulse wave signal, divides the first pulse wave signal into a first signal and a second signal, and outputs a second pulse wave signal including at least the first signal.
