Abstract
An electrocardiographic data detection apparatus includes multiple electrodes disposed to face a human body; a difference signal generator configured to generate multiple difference signals from multiple sets of the multiple electrodes that are each a set of two electrodes of the multiple electrodes, each of the multiple difference signals being generated from signals of the two electrodes of the multiple electrodes; and a difference signal selector configured to select multiple difference signals suitable for measurement of a heartbeat from among the multiple difference signals generated by the difference signal generator.
Claims11
An electrocardiographic data detection apparatus, comprising:
- multiple electrodes disposed to face a human body;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing one or more programs,
- which when executed, cause the processor to:
- generate multiple difference signals from multiple sets of the multiple electrodes that are each a set of two electrodes of the multiple electrodes, each of the multiple difference signals being generated from signals of the two electrodes of the multiple electrodes;
- select multiple difference signals suitable for measurement of a heartbeat from among the generated multiple difference signals;
- and
- select a first difference signal and a second difference signal,
- the first difference signal being optimum for measurement of the heartbeat among the generated multiple difference signals, and
- the second difference signal being optimum for measurement of the heartbeat among the multiple difference signals generated from signals of the multiple electrodes remaining by excluding, from the multiple electrodes, a pair of first electrodes that output original signals of the first difference signal.
An electrocardiographic data detection method, comprising:
- (a) using an electrocardiographic data detection apparatus that includes
- multiple electrodes disposed to face a human body,
- a processor, and
- a memory storing one or more programs, which when executed, cause the processor to:
- generate multiple difference signals from multiple sets of the multiple electrodes that are each a set of two electrodes of the multiple electrodes, each of the multiple difference signals being generated from signals of the two electrodes of the multiple electrodes, and
- select multiple difference signals suitable for measurement of a heartbeat from among the generated multiple difference signals, and
- (b) selecting a first difference signal and a second difference signal by the processor,
- the first difference signal being optimum for measurement of the heartbeat among the generated multiple difference signals, and
- the second difference signal being optimum for measurement of the heartbeat among the multiple difference signals generated from signals of the multiple electrodes remaining by excluding, from the multiple electrodes, a pair of first electrodes that output original signals of the first difference signal.
