This invention relates to a method and apparatus for calibrating a fall detector, a method of setting a fall detector, and a fall detector. According to the invention, the method of calibrating a fall detector comprises (a) acquiring the duration of a free fall of the fall detector; (b) calculating the change in height of the fall detector during the free fall from said duration; (c) measuring the change in height of the free fall by the fall detector; (d) calculating the difference between the calculated change in height and the measured change in height; and (e) updating a threshold in the fall detector for determining whether or not a fall has occurred on the basis of this difference. |
