Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for monitoring a dangerous situation of a human body. The dangerous situation such as the apnea or suffocation of the human body is determined based on variations in one of a cardiac impulse amplitude signal and a respiration amplitude signal of the human body and is transmitted to a wired or wireless terminal, thereby monitoring the dangerous situation of the human body in a sleep state.
Claims24
An apparatus for monitoring a dangerous situation of a human body, comprising:
- a detection unit extracting one of a cardiac impulse amplitude signal and a respiration amplitude signal of the human body from a biosignal in a first state of the human body and a biosignal in a second state of the human body;
- and
- a dangerous situation determination unit determining whether the human body is in a dangerous situation or not, based on variations in one of the cardiac impulse amplitude signal and the respiration amplitude signal when it changes from the first state to the second state.
