  • Publication number: 20200113490
    Abstract: A measurement unit is attached to a measurement target person and measures an acceleration. A body motion calculation unit obtains the magnitude of a body motion of the measurement target person based on the acceleration measured by the measurement unit. An activity state determination unit time-serially obtains an activity state representing whether the measurement target person is in a first state or a second state, based on a posture decided by a posture decision unit and the magnitude of the body motion calculated by the body motion calculation unit. If the activity state after continues for a predetermined time defined in advance, an activity state correction unit determines that the transition of the activity state obtained by the activity state determination unit has been done. A time correction unit returns the transition time of the activity state determined by the activity state correction unit.

    Abstract: A learning-type signal separation method performed using a model formulation unit, which performs learning processing based on a training-use signal including a specific component, and a training-use signal not including the specific component, the training-use signals including a common characteristic. The learning-type signal separation method includes: generating learned data by causing the model formulation unit to perform learning processing based on the training-use signal and information indicating whether or not the specific component is included in the training-use signal, to generate a data series signal in which the specific component has been separated and removed from a data series of the training-use signal; acquiring an arbitrary signal including the common characteristic; and generating, based on the acquired arbitrary signal and the generated learned data, a data series signal in which the specific component has been separated and removed from a data series of the arbitrary signal.
