Abstract: A seismic sensor 10 comprises an acceleration acquisition unit 21, an acceleration waveform generation unit 22, a frequency sensing unit 24, and an earthquake determination unit 25. The acceleration acquisition unit 21 detects vibration and measures the acceleration of the vibration. The acceleration waveform generation unit 22 generates an acceleration waveform that indicates the relation between the elapsed time and the acceleration measured by the acceleration acquisition unit 21. The frequency sensing unit 24 senses the frequency of the acceleration waveform generated by the acceleration waveform generation unit 22. The earthquake determination unit 25 determines whether or not there is an earthquake by classifying acceleration waveforms into those in which the frequency sensed by the frequency sensing unit 24 is above a specific threshold and those in which the frequency is below the specific threshold, and excluding any acceleration waveforms in which the frequency is above the specific threshold.
