Biological information measuring apparatus and biological information measuring method

A biological information measuring method for measuring information of a living body by irradiating the living body with light, the method comprising:

• providing a biological information measuring apparatus including:
• a first light source irradiating the living body with light;
• a second light source irradiating the living body with light;
• and a light receiving section constituted by a plurality of light receiving elements that receives reflected light reflected by the living body or transmitting light transmitting through the living body, during light irradiation of the living body, the first light source and the second light source being disposed so that a first distance between the light receiving section and the first light source is different from a second distance between the light receiving section and the second light source;
• acquiring first light intensity distribution information by the light receiving section while lighting only the first light source;
• acquiring second light intensity distribution information by the light receiving section while lighting only the second light source;
• and
• acquiring light intensity distribution information of a depth in the living body to a point to be measured by calculating based on the first light intensity distribution information and the second light intensity distribution information.
