Abstract: An apnea episode determination device includes, a processor; and a memory which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute, detecting a breathing segment and a midway segment from a sound signal during sleep, the breathing segment being considered to include a breathing sound, the midway segment existing in between the breathing segments; calculating an acoustic feature based on a background noise component and a signal component excluding the background noise component, which are included in the midway segment; and determining that the midway segment is an apnea episode when the acoustic feature meets a preset condition.

Abstract: A health management support method comprising measuring an amount of activity of a user during a first measurement term and a second measurement term, calculating a required amount of activity as the amount of activity for realizing physical characteristics, the required amount of activity being calculated according to an index value of the designated physical characteristics, calculating a reference amount of activity of the user according to the amount of activity measured during the first measurement term, calculating a target amount of activity which is determined by adding the reference amount of activity to the required amount of activity; and determining a degree of target achievement which is achieved by the amount of activity of the user during the second measurement term after the first measurement term.

Abstract: A portable terminal includes a breath determining unit that determines, when sounds having similar frequency components have been periodically detected in picked-up sounds, the detected sounds to be breath sounds. The portable terminal further includes a snore determining unit that determines, sound pressure of a determined breath sound has exceeded a first level threshold, the breath sound to be a snore sound. The portable terminal further includes an apnea determining unit that determines, when a silent interval has been detected between consecutive snore sounds determined, the detected silent interval to be an apnea state.

Abstract: A portable terminal includes a breath determining unit that, when having detected sounds having similar frequency components periodically in picked-up sounds by a microphone while an object person is being asleep, determines the sounds to be breath sounds. The terminal includes a snore determining unit that, when the sound pressure of the breath sounds is greater than a first level threshold value, determines the sounds to be a snoring sound. The terminal includes a body motion determining unit that determines whether a body motion is detected after the breath sound are determined. The terminal further includes an apnea determining unit that determines whether a silent interval is detected from a period of time between timings of the breath sound and the body motion when the body motion is detected and that determines the silent interval to be an apnea state when the silent interval is detected.
