Heartbeat detection device and heartbeat detection method

摘要

A heartbeat detection device includes a bone conduction microphone that converts, into a signal, displacement on the body surface of a user in a thickness direction of the body of the user, and an extractor that extracts a first frequency component and a second frequency component which are included in the signal. The first frequency component is based on audio information of the user, and the second frequency component is based on heartbeat information of the user. The heartbeat detection device is capable of estimating the physical and psychological state of the user based on the heartbeat information by extracting both the audio information and the heartbeat information, from a signal that has been output by the bone conduction microphone.
