HEART RATE DETECTION METHOD, HEART RATE DETECTION DEVICE AND PROGRAM

摘要

A heartbeat detection device includes a heartbeat time calculation unit (3) configured to calculate a heartbeat time from a sampling data string of an electrocardiographic waveform, a heart rate calculation unit (4) configured to calculate, for each heartbeat time, a heart rate from the heartbeat time calculated by the heartbeat time calculation unit (3), and a skip period calculation unit (5) configured to calculate, based on the heart rate (X) calculated by the heart rate calculation unit (4), a length of a skip period every time the heartbeat time is calculated. If a time difference between a latest time calculated from the sampling data string and an immediately preceding heartbeat time is not longer than the length of the skip period calculated from the immediately preceding heartbeat time, the heartbeat time calculation unit (3) does not adopt, as a heartbeat time, the latest time calculated from the sampling data string.
