Abstract

A state estimation device includes an information acquisition unit acquiring at least one of (i) electrode acquisition information indicating an electromagnetic time series that is a time series of an electromagnetic quantity that is an electromagnetic force, field, or energy applied to an electrode from which a signal indicating a state of a heart of an estimation target is acquirable or (ii) environment information that is information on a time series of an environmental quantity that is an amount related to one or both of a state of motion of the estimation target and an environment in which the estimation target is present; and an estimation unit using at least one of the electrode acquisition information or the environment information to determine whether an electrode event, which is an abnormality in acquisition of a signal indicating the state of the heart of the estimation target by the electrode, has occurred.

Claims (14)

1 . A state estimation device comprising:

an information acquisition unit, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to acquire at least one of (i) electrode acquisition information indicating an electromagnetic time series that is a time series of an electromagnetic quantity that is an electromagnetic force, field, or energy applied to an electrode from which a signal indicating a state of a heart of an estimation target is acquirable or (ii) environment information regarding a time series of an environmental quantity that is an amount related to at least one of a state of motion of the estimation target or an environment in which the estimation target is present; and

an estimation unit, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to use at least one of the electrode acquisition information or the environment information to determine whether or not an electrode event, which is an abnormality in acquisition of a signal indicating the state of the heart of the estimation target by the electrode, has occurred.

2 . The state estimation device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the estimation unit is configured to determine an occurrence of a cardiac abnormality event that is an abnormality of the state of the heart of the estimation target based on the electrode acquisition information, and

the estimation unit is configured to estimate an estimation reliability that is a probability of an estimation result of occurrence of the cardiac abnormality event.

3 . The state estimation device according to claim 2 , wherein

the estimation reliability is estimated also based on a result of determination of occurrence of the electrode event.

4 . A state estimation method comprising:

acquiring at least one of (i) electrode acquisition information indicating an electromagnetic time series of an electromagnetic quantity that is an electromagnetic force, field, or energy applied to an electrode from which a signal indicating a state of a heart of an estimation target is acquirable or (ii) environment information regarding a time series of an environmental quantity that is an amount related to at least one of a state of motion of the estimation target or an environment in which the estimation target is present; and

using at least one of the electrode acquisition information or the environment information to determine whether or not an electrode event, which is an abnormality in acquisition of a signal indicating the state of the heart of the estimation target by the electrode, has occurred.

5 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a program for, wherein execution of the program causes a computer to perform operations comprising:

acquiring at least one of (i) electrode acquisition information indicating an electromagnetic time series of an electromagnetic quantity that is an electromagnetic force, field, or energy applied to an electrode from which a signal indicating a state of a heart of an estimation target is acquirable or (ii) environment information regarding a time series of an environmental quantity that is an amount related to at least one of a state of motion of the estimation target or an environment in which the estimation target is present; and

using at least one of the electrode acquisition information or the environment information to determine whether or not an electrode event, which is an abnormality in acquisition of a signal indicating the state of the heart of the estimation target by the electrode, has occurred.
