PULSE METER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PULSE METER, WRISTWATCH-TYPE INFORMATION DEVICE, CONTROL PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately calculate a pulse rate, even when a body movement component has no periodical characteristics, by surely removing the body movement component generated in a living organism from a pulse wave component.

SOLUTION: A pulse wave detecting section includes a pulse wave sensor 83 and outputs a pulse wave detection signal to an MPU (microprocessing unit) 94. The MPU 94 removes the body movement component from the pulse wave detecting signal based on relative difference between a position of the heart of a wearer and a wearing position of the pulse meter in the height direction and detects a pulse rate based on the pulse wave detecting signal from which the body movement component has been removed.
