Abstract: A posture determination apparatus including at least two vibration sensors and a controller. The controller causes the vibration sensors to detect vibrations while the user is lying in bed, calculates waveforms from the detected vibrations and recognizes the characteristics of the waveforms, and determines the posture of the user based on the characteristics. Thereby, it is possible to provide a posture determination apparatus and capable of appropriately determining the posture of the user which is one factor of the state of the user.

Abstract: An evaluating apparatus of this application includes a detector configured to detect a biological signal of a user, and a controller configured to calculate an amount of activity of the user from the biological signal, determine whether the user is sleeping during a first period by comparing the amount of activity with a low threshold, and determine whether the user is sleeping during a second period after the first period by comparing the amount of activity with a high threshold, the low threshold being lower than the high threshold.

Abstract: A biological signal of a subject is acquired so as to calculate biological information from the acquired biological signal. When the biological information has been determined to be anomaly, whether the biological information is one that was calculated under a high-accuracy condition is determined. When the biological information is determined to be one that was calculated under the high-accuracy condition, a notice is given based on a first criterion. In the other cases, a notice is given based on a second criterion. Thereby, it is possible to provide an abnormality notification system that can give a necessary notification appropriately while suppressing unnecessary notification, by changing the criteria for notification in accordance with the accuracy of the determined biological information when the biological information of the subject was determined to be anomaly.
