Abstract: The present invention realizes calculating a pulse rate accurately, even when a body movement component has no periodical characteristics, by surely removing the body movement component generated in a living organism from a pulse wave component. A pulse wave detecting section includes a pulse wave sensor and outputs a pulse wave detection signal to an MPU functioning as a body motion component removing section. A body motion sensor outputs a body motion detection signal corresponding to a body motion that affects the behavior of venous blood to the MPU. As a result, to the MPU removes the body motion component from the pulse wave detection signal based on the body motion detection signal. A pulse rate calculating section calculates the pulse rate based on the pulse wave detection signal from which the body motion component has been removed. The pulse rate is displayed on a liquid crystal display device.

Abstract: A display device has a frame having a substantially cylindrically shaped cylindrical part, a display panel that is band shaped and flexible, and a spacer that is substantially cylindrically shaped and is fit to the cylindrical part. The display panel is disposed to the outside surface of the spacer.

Abstract: A body motion detection device is provided that is configured to be attached to a forearm of a user to detect a body motion of the human body to detect body motions of the user. The body motion detection device basically comprises a body motion sensor unit and a body motion component extracting section. The body motion sensor unit is configured and arranged to detect an acceleration caused substantially by a movement of the forearm during walking and an acceleration caused substantially by a movement of the forearm during running to output at least one body motion signal. The body motion component extracting section is configured and arranged to extract a body motion component from said at least one body motion signal. Thus, pitch of the user can be measured based on the body motion component both when the user is running and walking.

Abstract: In a pulse meter, a motion detector detects motion components generated along with changes in the shape of a mounting area on the body, and outputs a motion detection signal to a transmitter. A pulse wave detector detects pulse wave components and outputs a pulse wave detection signal to the transmitter. A pulse rate calculator calculates the pulse rate on the basis of the motion detection signal and the pulse wave detection signal. Motion components can be removed from pulse wave components and the pulse rate can be accurately calculated even when motion components with low acceleration are generated.
