Abstract

The reliability of calculated bio-information of a subject is determined. When the reliability of the bio-information is determined to be high, the bio-information is output, whereas when the reliability of the bio-information is determined to be low, the bio-information is not output. Thus, among the calculated bio-information, only the bio-information of high reliability may be output, or distinctive display may be performed depending on the reliability, whereby it is possible to provide a bio-information output device and the like capable of easily determining bio-information of high reliability.

Claims (44)

1. A system for determining reliable bio-information comprising:

a bed;

a sensor on the bed configured to acquire body motion data of a user;

control circuitry configured to:

calculate bio-information of the user from the body motion data,

determine whether the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information by analyzing the calculated bio-information with respect to criteria which indicates whether the bio-information is reliable or not reliable, and

output the calculated bio-information as reliable bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information satisfies the criteria,

wherein the control circuitry is configured not to output the calculated bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information does not satisfy the criteria, wherein:

the control circuitry calculates a heart rate and/or a respiratory rate of the user as the bio-information from the body motion data,

wherein the control circuitry is further configured to output a sign instead of the calculated bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information does not satisfy the criteria.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein:

the control circuitry calculates a heartbeat interval and/or a respiration interval of the user as the bio-information from the body motion data, analyzes the bio-information with respect to interval size as the criteria, and determines that the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information based on whether or not a variation in the interval is large.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein:

the control circuitry determines a state of the user, analyzes the bio-information with respect to the state of the user as the criteria, and determines that the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information based on the state of the user.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein

the control circuitry determines, as the state of the user, whether or not the user is in a recumbent state, and determines that the calculated bio-information is not reliable bio-information when the subject is not in the recumbent state.

5. The system according to claim 3 , further comprising a load sensor, wherein the control circuitry determines the state of the user based on information from the load sensor.

6. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a memory for storing the calculated bio-information,

wherein

the control circuitry reads the stored bio-information so as to determine whether the stored bio-information is reliable bio-information.

7. A method for determining reliable bio-information comprising:

acquiring with a sensor body motion data of a user on a bed;

calculating with control circuitry bio-information of the user from the body motion data;

determining with the control circuitry whether the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information by analyzing the calculated bio-information with respect to criteria which indicates whether the bio-information is reliable or not reliable; and

outputting with the control circuitry the calculated bio-information as reliable bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information satisfies the criteria,

wherein the calculated bio-information is not output when it is determined that the calculated bio-information does not satisfy the criteria,

comprising calculating a heart rate and/or a respiratory rate of the user as the bio-information from the body motion data,

wherein the control circuitry is further configured to output a sign instead of the calculated bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information does not satisfy the criteria.

8. The system according to claim 7 , comprising calculating a heartbeat interval and/or a respiration interval of the user as the bio-information from the body motion data, analyzing the bio-information with respect to interval size as the criteria, and determining that the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information based on whether or not a variation in the interval is large.

9. The method according to claim 7 , comprising determining a state of the user, analyzing the bio-information with respect to the state of the user as the criteria, and determining that the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information based on the state of the user.

10. The method according to claim 9 , comprising determining, as the state of the user, whether or not the user is in a recumbent state, and determining that the calculated bio-information is not reliable bio-information when the subject is not in the recumbent state.

11. The system according to claim 7 , further comprising storing in a memory the calculated bio-information, and reading the stored bio-information so as to determine whether the stored bio-information is reliable bio-information.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program for causing a processor to execute a method for determining reliable bio-information comprising:

acquiring with a sensor body motion data of a user on a bed;

calculating with control circuitry bio-information of the user from the body motion data;

determining with the control circuitry whether the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information by analyzing the calculated bio-information with respect to criteria which indicates whether the bio-information is reliable or not reliable; and

outputting with the control circuitry the calculated bio-information as reliable bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information satisfies the criteria,

wherein the control circuitry is configured not to output the calculated bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information does not satisfy the criteria,

wherein the method comprises calculating a heart rate and/or a respiratory rate of the user as the bio-information from the body motion data, and

wherein the control circuitry is further configured to output a sign instead of the calculated bio-information when it is determined that the calculated bio-information does not satisfy the criteria.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the method comprises, calculating a heartbeat interval and/or a respiration interval of the user as the bio-information from the body motion data, analyzing the bio-information with respect to interval size as the criteria, and determining that the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information based on whether or not a variation in the interval is large.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the method comprises determining a state of the user, analyzing the bio-information with respect to the state of the user as the criteria, and determining that the calculated bio-information is reliable bio-information based on the state of the user.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , wherein the method comprises determining, as the state of the user, whether or not the user is in a recumbent state, and determining that the calculated bio-information is not reliable bio-information when the subject is not in the recumbent state.

16. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises storing in a memory the calculated bio-information, and reading the stored bio-information so as to determine whether the stored bio-information is reliable bio-information.
