  • Patent number: 10805399
    Abstract: A data server includes a controller, a memory that stores first information collected from devices, and master-slave management circuitry that sets whether the data server operates according to one of a master function for managing a data server and a slave function for being managed by the data server. In a case where the master function is set by the master-slave management circuitry, the controller sends to an external client, in response to receiving a data collection request from the external client, information corresponding to the data collection request that is one of data stored in the memory and data received from the other data server. In a case where the slave function is set by the master-slave management circuitry, the controller sends the first information to the other data server in which the master function is set.

  • Publication number: 20170325750
    Abstract: In a heart rate estimating apparatus, a sensor generates pulse wave data indicating a pulse wave of a body. A storage unit stores a plurality of state transition models each representing states including a normal state and an abnormal state corresponding to noise, transition probabilities between the states, and output probabilities of a plurality of different symbols, wherein at least one of the transition probabilities and the output probabilities differs between the respective state transition models. An estimating unit generates a symbol string that indicates a time series of changes in the pulse wave from the pulse wave data, calculates a fit between the symbol string and each of the plurality of state transition models, and calculates a heart rate estimated from the pulse wave data based on a state transition model selected in accordance with the fit.
