  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, in the first embodiment, a case where the present invention is applied to a heartbeat detection device that detects a heartbeat of a human body will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the heartbeat detection device 10 according to the first embodiment includes a radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and a computer 14. The radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 radiates electromagnetic waves (transmitted waves) 18 to the human body 16 and receives electromagnetic waves (reflected waves) 20 reflected on the surface of the human body 16. In FIG. 1, the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is installed in front of the thorax of the human body 16 and the transmission wave 18 is radiated to the front of the thorax, but heartbeats and heart sounds can be detected in a wide range on the front and back of the thorax. As long as the heartbeat and heart sound can be detected, the installation position of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and the radiation position of the transmission wave 18 are not limited. As the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12, for example, a radar Doppler sensor or a standing wave radar may be used.

  The radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 outputs an output signal 22 corresponding to the received reflected wave 20, and the output signal 22 that is output is input to the computer 14.

  The computer 14 includes a CPU that controls the entire heart rate detection device 10, a ROM as a storage medium that stores a program for a biological signal determination processing routine, which will be described later, a RAM that temporarily stores data as a work area, and a bus that connects them. It is comprised including. In the case of such a configuration, a program for realizing the function of each component is stored in a storage medium such as a ROM or HDD, and each function is realized by executing the program by the CPU. To.

  When the computer 14 is described in terms of functional blocks divided for each function realizing means determined based on hardware and software, as shown in FIG. 2, from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12, the heart rate is determined according to the frequency. An output signal separation unit 24 that separates and outputs each of the frequency signal 26 and the heart sound frequency signal 28; a heartbeat signal peak detection unit 30 that detects a peak time of the heartbeat frequency signal 26 and outputs a heartbeat signal peak time 32; The heart sound signal peak detector 34 for detecting the peak time of the envelope of the heart sound frequency signal 28 and outputting the heart sound signal peak time 36; and the heart sound signal power for calculating and outputting the power spectral density 40 of the heart sound frequency signal 28 Based on the spectral density calculation unit 38, the heart sound signal peak time 36 and the power spectrum density 40, the heart sound signal peak time. A heart sound peak I sound / II sound determination unit 42 that determines whether 36 is an I sound peak or an II sound peak and outputs a heart sound peak time and a heart sound I sound / II sound determination result 44; Further, based on the heart sound peak time and the heart sound I sound / II sound determination result 44, the heart rate peak probability is determined by determining whether or not the heart rate frequency signal 26 and the heart sound frequency signal 28 are synchronized. And a heart rate peak probability determining unit 46 for outputting the signal. The heartbeat signal peak detection unit 30, the heart sound signal peak detection unit 34, the heart sound signal power spectrum density calculation unit 38, the heart sound peak I sound / II sound determination unit 42, and the heart rate peak probability determination unit 46 are elastic wave detection means. It is an example.

  The output signal separation unit 24 separates and outputs a signal in the frequency band of 0.8 to 2 Hz as the heartbeat frequency signal 26 in the radio wave transmission / reception unit output signal 22 and outputs a signal in the frequency band of 10 Hz or more as a heart sound frequency signal. 28 is separated and output. The above frequency setting is an example, and other frequencies may be used as long as the heartbeat and the heart sound can be separated.

  The heart sound signal peak detection unit 34 performs envelope detection of the heart sound frequency signal 28 and outputs the peak time of the envelope as the heart sound signal peak time 36.

  The heart sound peak I sound / II sound determination unit 42 uses the fact that the frequency of the I sound is lower than that of the II sound, and based on the heart sound power spectral density 40 at the heart sound signal peak time 36, the heart sound signal peak time 36 is the I sound. And the heart sound peak time and the heart sound I sound / II sound determination result 44 are output.

  The heartbeat peak probability determination unit 46 holds the latest heart sound peak time and the heart sound I sound / II sound determination result 44. As shown in FIG. 3, since the heartbeat peak time falls between the heart sound I sound peak time and the heart sound II sound peak time, the heartbeat peak likelihood determination unit 46 determines that the heartbeat signal peak time is the heart sound I sound peak time. When it is between the heart sound II sound peak times, it is determined that the heart rate frequency signal 26 and the heart sound frequency signal 28 are synchronized and likely to be the peak of the heart rate signal, and the peak time of the heart rate signal is output as the heart rate peak time 48. To do.

  Next, the operation of the heartbeat detection device 10 of the first embodiment will be described. First, the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 continuously radiates the transmission wave 18 to the human body 16 and continuously receives the reflected wave 20 reflected from the surface of the human body 16, and responds to the received reflected wave 20. Output signal 22 is output. At this time, the biological signal determination processing routine shown in FIG. 4 is repeatedly executed by the computer 14 of the heartbeat detecting device 10.

  In step 100, an output signal 22 for a predetermined period by the radio wave transmitting / receiving unit 12 is acquired. In step 102, the heart rate frequency signal 26 and the heart sound frequency signal 28 are separated from the output signal 22 acquired in step 100.

  In the next step 104, the heartbeat signal peak time 32 is detected from the heartbeat frequency signal 26 separated in step 102. In step 106, the heart sound signal peak time 36 is detected from the heart sound frequency signal 28 separated in step 102. Is detected.

  In step 108, the heart sound power spectral density 40 is calculated from the heart sound frequency signal 28 separated in step 102. In step 110, based on the heart sound signal peak time 36 detected in step 106 and the heart sound power spectral density 40 calculated in step 108, the heart sound signal peak time 36 is the peak of the I sound or the peak of the II sound. Determine whether.

  In the next step 112, the heartbeat signal peak time is determined based on the heartbeat signal peak time 32 detected in step 104 and the heart sound peak time and heart sound I / II sound determination result 44 in step 110. Then, the heartbeat peak time 48 is output, and the biological signal determination processing routine is terminated.

  As described above, according to the heartbeat detection device of the first embodiment, the frequency band signal for each of the heartbeat and the heart sound is separated from the output signal corresponding to the electromagnetic wave reflected on the surface of the human body, and separated. By detecting whether or not the heart rate frequency signal and the heart sound frequency signal are synchronized with each other, the heart rate peak time can be accurately detected in a non-contact manner using a single sensor. it can.

  In addition, a single sensor (radio wave transmitter / receiver) detects another elastic wave (heart sound) synchronized with the elastic wave (heartbeat) to be detected that propagates through the elastic body (human body), and performs cross-correlation processing of both signals. By doing so, it is possible to realize a highly accurate elastic wave detection device with a single sensor.

  In addition, since the elastic wave is detected by utilizing the reflection of the microwave on the surface of the elastic body (human body), it is possible to detect the elastic wave without directly contacting the elastic body, depending on the state of contact with the elastic wave. Noise can also be prevented.

  Further, since the elastic wave is detected by utilizing the reflection of the microwave on the elastic body surface, the elastic wave propagating on the elastic body surface can be detected as long as the foreign substance does not affect the propagation of the radio wave.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the heartbeat peak time is detected has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, heart sounds can be detected in the same manner as heartbeats, and the internal state of the human body (elastic body internal state) may be estimated based on the detected heartbeats and heart sounds. Although only data corresponding to the RR interval on the electrocardiogram can be obtained by only the heartbeat, the heart sound includes information related to the opening / closing of the heart, blood flow, and the state of the myocardium. For this reason, by detecting the heart sound, it is possible to additionally obtain information that can be known from the heart sound. For example, the heart sound I sound-II sound interval corresponding to the electrocardiogram RT interval associated with the heart repolarization process can be measured. In addition, diagnosis of various heart diseases such as complete atrioventricular block, ventricular fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be performed without contact from the state of each sound. Moreover, by simultaneously measuring the heartbeat and the heart sound, various components included in the heart sound can be easily recognized, which is useful for improving the accuracy of diagnosis.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. In addition, about the part which becomes the structure similar to 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted. In the second embodiment, a case where the present invention is applied to a respiratory detection device that detects an inspiration-expiration transition time will be described as an example.

  The respiration detection apparatus according to the second embodiment includes a radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and a computer 214.

  In FIG. 1 described above, the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is installed in front of the thorax of the human body 16, and the transmission wave 18 is radiated to the front of the thorax. The installation position of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and the radiation position of the transmission wave 18 are not limited as long as they can be detected and the respiratory motion and the breathing sound can be detected.

  When the computer 214 is described by function blocks divided for each function realizing means determined based on hardware and software, as shown in FIG. 5, the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 is output from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 according to the frequency. And an output signal separation unit 224 that separates and outputs each of the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 and a respiratory sound signal power spectrum density calculation unit 238 that calculates and outputs the respiratory sound power spectral density 240 based on the respiratory sound frequency signal 228. And an inspiratory-expiratory transition determining unit 242 that determines whether the inspiratory phase or the expiratory phase is detected based on the respiratory sound power spectral density 240, and detects and outputs the inspiratory-expiratory transition time 244, and a respiratory motion frequency Based on the signal 226 and the inspiration-expiration transition time 244, the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 and the respiratory sound frequency signal 22 There it is determined whether the synchronized intake - intake outputs the expiration migration time 248 - and an expiratory transition time determination unit 246. Note that the respiratory sound signal power spectral density calculation unit 238, the inspiration-expiration transition determination unit 242, and the inspiration-expiration transition time determination unit 246 are examples of elastic wave detection means.

  The output signal separation unit 224 separates and outputs a signal in the frequency band of 0.6 Hz or less as the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and outputs a signal in a frequency band greater than 0.6 Hz. The respiratory sound frequency signal 228 is separated and output. The above frequency setting is an example, and other frequencies may be used as long as the respiratory motion and the respiratory sound can be separated.

  The respiratory sound frequency signal 228 includes alveolar respiratory sound. The alveolar breathing sound has a higher frequency than the expiratory phase. Therefore, the time when the respiratory sound power spectral density 240 shifts to a low frequency is the inspiration-expiration transition time 244. The inspiration-expiration transition determination unit 242 outputs the inspiration-expiration transition time 244 based on the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 from the respiratory sound power spectral density 240 by this method. When the inspiration-expiration transition time cannot be derived because the amplitude of the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 is too small or noise is too large, the inspiration-expiration transition determination unit 242 determines the inspiration-expiration transition time 244 based on the breathing sound. As a result, a code indicating that it cannot be derived is output.

  On the other hand, the respiratory motion signal has a large amplitude and is suitable for respiratory detection, and is a signal synchronized with the respiratory sound signal. However, as shown in FIG. Correspondence with signal phase is different. Therefore, the inspiration-expiration transition time determination unit 246 has the peak point of the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 or the inflection between the peak points within a range in which the time difference from the inspiration-expiration transition time 244 based on the breathing sound is a predetermined time. If there is a point, it is determined that the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 and the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 are synchronized, and the peak point of the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 closest to the inspiratory-expiratory transition time 244 based on the respiratory sound, Alternatively, an inspiration-expiration transition time 248 is output at the inflection point between peak points. In addition, the correspondence relationship between the inspiratory phase and the expiratory phase at this time and the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 is stored in the inspiratory-expiratory transition time determination unit 246. When the inspiration-expiration transition time 244 based on the respiratory sound is a sign that cannot be derived, the respiratory motion frequency signal is based on the correspondence between the stored inspiratory phase and expiratory phase and the respiratory motion frequency signal 226. An inspiration-expiration transition time 248 is estimated from the change in 226 and output.

  Next, a biological signal determination processing routine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is provided about the process similar to 1st Embodiment.

  First, in step 100, an output signal 22 for a predetermined period by the radio wave transmitting / receiving unit 12 is acquired. In step 252, the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 and the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 are separated from the output signal 22 acquired in step 100.

  In the next step 254, the respiratory sound power spectral density 240 is calculated from the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 separated in the above step 252. In step 256, the inspiratory phase and the expiratory phase are determined based on the respiratory sound power spectral density 240 calculated in step 254, and the inspiratory-expiratory transition time 244 based on the respiratory sound is output.

  In the next step 258, based on the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 separated in step 252 and the inspiration-expiration transition time 244 output in step 256, the respiratory motion frequency signal 226 and the respiratory sound frequency signal 228 are obtained. When it is determined that they are synchronized, an inspiration-expiration transition time 248 is output, and the biological signal determination processing routine is terminated.

  Thus, the frequency signal for each of respiratory motion and respiratory sound is separated from the output signal corresponding to the electromagnetic wave reflected on the surface of the human body, and the separated respiratory motion frequency signal and respiratory sound frequency signal are synchronized. By detecting the inspiration-expiration transition time using the corresponding relationship, the inspiration-expiration transition time can be accurately detected in a non-contact manner using a single sensor.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the inspiration-expiration transition time is detected has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, since the breathing sound can be measured simultaneously with the respiratory motion, information that can be known from the breathing sound can be additionally obtained. This enables non-contact diagnosis of respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and pneumothorax.

  Furthermore, the technique described in the first embodiment may be combined to further detect heartbeats and heart sounds. Right leg block, pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary valve stenosis, etc. are characterized by the division of heart sound II during breathing exhalation, but by detecting heart sounds and respiratory motion simultaneously, abnormal heart sounds related to breathing are detected. It can be made easier.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, a case where the present invention is applied to a non-contact stethoscope that extracts a type of signal set as an analysis target will be described as an example.

  The non-contact stethoscope according to the third embodiment includes a radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and a computer 314.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is installed on the front surface of the human thorax and radiates the transmission wave 18 to the front surface of the chest, but the installation position of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and the emission position of the transmission wave 18 Does not matter. The radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 may be a radar Doppler sensor, a standing wave radar, or the like. The output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 includes various biological sounds depending on the radio wave irradiation site. The output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is input to the computer 314.

  If the computer 314 is described with function blocks divided for each function realizing means determined based on hardware and software, as shown in FIG. 8, it accepts setting input of signal types and features to be analyzed by a non-contact stethoscope. From the analysis target setting input unit 316 that outputs the analysis target setting 318, the signal processing method setting unit 320 that receives the analysis target setting 318 and outputs settings related to the processing of each unit, and the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12, The analysis target frequency signal 330 is separated by the frequency from the reference signal frequency filter 324 that separates and outputs the reference signal 326 serving as a reference for the analysis target signal according to the frequency and the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12. The feature point of the analysis target signal frequency filter 328 and the reference signal 326 to be output is detected, and the reference signal feature point time 33 is detected. Based on the reference signal feature point detection unit 332, the reference signal feature point time 334, and the analysis target frequency signal 330, whether or not the reference signal 326 and the analysis target frequency signal 330 are synchronized. And an analysis target signal extraction unit 336 that extracts and outputs the signal. The reference signal frequency filter 324 and the analysis target signal frequency filter 328 are examples of signal separation means, and the reference signal feature point detection unit 332 and the analysis target signal extraction unit 336 are examples of elastic wave detection means.

  The analysis target signal input unit 316 receives settings related to the type and characteristics of a signal to be analyzed by a non-contact stethoscope. Regarding the setting method, for example, the type of analysis target signal (if the target is a heart sound, I sound, II sound, III sound, IV sound, etc., if it is a respiratory sound, alveolar respiratory sound, bronchoalveolar respiratory sound, (Bronchial respiratory sound, tracheal respiratory sound), a method of inputting a disease to be diagnosed, a method of inputting the frequency of an analysis target signal, and the like are conceivable.

  When the analysis target signal is synchronized with the reference signal, such as heartbeat and heart sound, and each waveform within the heart sound (I sound, II sound, III sound, IV sound), the analysis target signal is a feature point of the reference signal. It may be observed within a certain time window length starting from (for example, an inflection point, a peak, or a rising edge of a signal). Therefore, the signal processing method setting unit 320 receives the analysis target setting 318 input from the analysis target signal input unit 316 and separates the analysis target signal from the reference signal frequency 342 indicating the frequency band for separating the reference signal. The time 348 from the reference signal feature point time to the start of the analysis target signal detection window, and the analysis target signal, together with the analysis target signal frequency 344 indicating the frequency band of the reference signal and the reference signal feature point type 346 indicating the type of feature point of the reference signal The detection window length 350 is output.

  The reference signal frequency filter 324 separates and extracts the reference signal 326 from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 based on the reference signal frequency 342. The analysis target signal frequency filter 328 separates and extracts the analysis target frequency signal 330 from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 based on the analysis target signal frequency 344.

  The reference signal feature point detection unit 332 detects, from the reference signal 326, the type of feature point specified by the reference signal feature point type 346 (a feature point in a signal change or a feature point in a signal frequency distribution change). A reference signal feature point time 334 is output. The analysis target signal extraction unit 336 generates a reference signal feature point time 334 based on the reference signal feature point time 334, the time 348 from the reference signal feature point time to the start of the analysis target signal detection window, and the analysis target signal detection window length 350. The analysis target signal 338 is extracted from the analysis target frequency signal 330 and output during the period of the analysis target signal detection window at the time point when the time 348 has passed since the output. The analysis target signal 338 is output from the analysis target signal output unit 340. The period of the analysis target signal detection window is a period during which the analysis target frequency signal 330 synchronized with the reference signal 326 is observed.

  The analysis target signal output unit 340 displays, for example, the waveform of the analysis target signal 338 on the screen, or notifies the time of the peak of the analysis target signal 338 by blinking light.

  Next, the operation of the non-contact stethoscope of the third embodiment will be described.

  When the computer 314 receives settings of the type and characteristics of a signal to be analyzed by a non-contact stethoscope by a user operation, the reference signal frequency 342, the analysis target signal frequency 344, the reference signal are set according to the received analysis target setting 318. The feature point type 346, the time 348 from the reference signal feature point time to the start of the analysis target signal detection window, and the analysis target signal detection window length 350 are set.

  Then, the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 continuously radiates the transmission wave 18 to the human body 16, continuously receives the reflected wave 20 reflected on the surface of the human body 16, and responds to the received reflected wave 20. Output signal 22 is output. At this time, the biological signal determination processing routine is repeatedly executed by the computer 314 of the non-contact stethoscope. Hereinafter, the biological signal determination processing routine will be described.

  First, the output signal 22 for a predetermined period by the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is acquired. Then, the reference signal 326 is separated and extracted from the output signal 22 acquired above. Further, the analysis target frequency signal 330 is separated and extracted from the output signal.

  Next, the reference signal feature point time 334 is detected from the reference signal 326 extracted above. Then, the detected reference signal feature point time 334 from the analysis target frequency signal 330 separated as described above, the time 348 from the set reference signal feature point time to the start of the analysis target signal detection window, and the analysis target signal detection window Based on the length 350, the analysis target signal 338 is extracted and output, and the biological signal determination processing routine is terminated.

  As described above, according to the non-contact stethoscope according to the third embodiment, the reference signal and the frequency signal to be analyzed are separated from the output signal corresponding to the electromagnetic wave reflected on the surface of the human body. By extracting the analysis target signal during the period when the analysis target frequency signal that is synchronized with the reference signal is observed, the analysis target signal can be accurately detected in a non-contact manner using a single sensor. The analysis of the analysis target signal can be assisted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where one analysis target frequency signal 330 is separated from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it isolate | separate a signal. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 9, N analysis target signals 3381 to 338N may be output based on the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit. In this case, the reference signal frequency filters 3241 to 324N separate the reference signals 3261 to 326N based on the frequency from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and output the separated signals. The analysis target signal frequency filters 3281 to 328N separate the analysis target frequency signals 3301 to 330N from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 according to the frequency and output the separated signals. The reference signal feature point detectors 3321 to 332N detect the feature points of the reference signals 3261 to 326N and output the reference signal feature point times 3341 to 334N. Based on the reference signal feature point times 3341 to 334N and the analysis target frequency signals 3301 to 330N, the analysis target signal extraction units 3361 to 336N synchronize each pair of the reference signals 3261 to 326N and the analysis target frequency signals 3301 to 330N. The analysis target signals 3383 to 338N are extracted and output depending on whether or not they exist. The analysis target signals 3383 to 338N are output from the analysis target signal output units 3401 to 340N. For example, the analysis target signal output units 3401 to 340N output heartbeats as light output and heart sounds as sound outputs. This can assist the doctor in discriminating between the I and II sounds.

  In FIG. 9, one reference signal is set for each analysis target signal. However, a common reference signal may be used for a plurality of analysis target signals.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, a case will be described as an example where the present invention is applied to a personal authentication apparatus that extracts a plurality of types of analysis target signals including biological vibration and biological sound and performs personal authentication. In addition, about the part which becomes the structure similar to 1st Embodiment and 3rd Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The personal authentication apparatus according to the fourth embodiment includes a radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and a computer 414.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is installed in front of the human thorax and radiates the transmission wave 18 to the front surface of the chest. However, the installation position of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 and the emission position of the transmission wave 18 Does not matter. The radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 may be a radar Doppler sensor, a standing wave radar, or the like. The output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 is input to the computer 414.

  When the computer 414 is described by function blocks divided for each function realization means determined based on hardware and software, as shown in FIG. 10, from the reference signal frequency filter 324 and the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12, A first analysis target signal frequency filter 4281 to an Nth analysis target signal frequency filter 428N that outputs each of the first analysis target signal 4301 to the Nth analysis target signal 430N according to the frequency, and a reference signal feature point detection unit 332 The first analysis target signal 4301 to the Nth analysis target signal 434N are detected, and the first analysis target signal feature point time 4381 to the Nth analysis target signal feature point time 438N are output. The target signal feature point detector 4361 to the Nth analysis target signal feature point detector 436N and the reference signal feature point time 334 First time delay calculation unit 4401 to Nth time delay for calculating first time delay 4421 to Nth time delay 442N, which are time delays of analysis target signal feature point time 4381 to Nth analysis target signal feature point time 438N, respectively. The time delay database 444 storing the calculation unit 440N, the first time delay 4461 to the Nth time delay 446N obtained in advance for each user, and the calculated first time delay 4421 to the Nth time delay 442N A personal authentication unit 448 that performs personal authentication by collating with the first time delay 4461 to the N-th time delay 446N stored in 444 and outputs a personal authentication result 450. The reference signal frequency filter 324 and the first analysis target signal frequency filter 4281 to the Nth analysis target signal frequency filter 428N are examples of signal separation means. The first analysis target signal feature point detection unit 4361 to the Nth analysis target signal feature point detection unit 436N are examples of feature point detection means, and the first time delay calculation unit 4401 to the Nth time delay calculation unit 440N are shifted. It is an example of a calculation means. Further, the time delay database 444 and the personal authentication unit 448 are examples of collating means.

  For example, when the body vibration and body sound to be analyzed are heartbeat and heart sound, the reference signal frequency filter 324 determines the frequency determined for the heartbeat or heart sound I sound from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmitting / receiving unit 12. The band signal is separated and extracted as the reference signal 326. Further, the first analysis target signal frequency filter 4281 to the Nth analysis target signal frequency filter 428N convert the frequency band signals corresponding to the respective frequency components of the heart sound from the output signal 22 of the radio wave transmission / reception unit 12 to the first analysis target signal 4301. The Nth analysis target signal 430N is separated and extracted.

  Further, the biological vibration and the biological sound to be analyzed may be a respiratory motion and a respiratory sound. In this case, the reference signal 326 may be a signal in the frequency band of respiratory motion, and the first analysis target signal 4301 to the Nth analysis target signal 430N may be signals in the frequency band of each frequency component of the respiratory sound. Further, the reference signal 326 is a signal in the frequency band of respiratory motion, and the first analysis target signal 4301 to the Nth analysis target signal 430N are signals in the frequency band of the heartbeat and the frequency band of each frequency component of the heart sound. Also good.

  The reference signal feature point detector 332 detects, for example, the peak time of the reference signal as the reference signal feature point time 334.

  Here, when examining the relationship between the peak of the electrocardiogram R wave and the frequency distribution and the appearance timing of the I sound of the heart sound, the heart sound can be detected from the reflected wave of the electromagnetic wave because the timing and frequency distribution of the heart sound differ depending on the individual. Thus, simple personal authentication can be realized.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the personal authentication unit 448 uses the first time delay 4461 to the Nth time delay 446N for each user stored in the time delay database 444 and the actually calculated first time delay 4421 to the first time delay. The N time delay 442N is collated to authenticate the user corresponding to the collated first time delay 4461 to the Nth time delay 446N. A personal authentication result 450 by the personal authentication unit 448 is output from the personal identification result output unit 452 to the outside.

In step 474, the first analysis target signal 4301 to the Nth analysis target separated in step 470 are detected. A first analysis target signal feature point time 4381 to an Nth analysis target signal feature point time 438N are detected from the signal 430N.

  In step 476, each of the first analysis target signal feature point time 4381 to the Nth analysis target signal feature point time 438N detected in step 474 with respect to the reference signal feature point time 334 detected in step 472. First time delay 44211 to Nth time delay 442N are calculated.

  In the next step 478, the first time delay 4461 to the Nth time delay 446N obtained in advance for each user is acquired from the time delay database 444. In step 480, the first time delay 4421 to the first time delay 4421 calculated in step 476 is acquired. The Nth time delay 442N is compared with the first time delay 4461 to the Nth time delay 446N acquired in step 478 for each user. In step 482, the personal authentication result for authenticating the user for the first time delay 4461 to the N-th time delay 446N collated in step 480 is output, and the personal authentication processing routine is terminated.

And the time delay of the detection time of the feature point of each signal with respect to the detection time of the feature point of the reference signal, and the time delay of the detection time of the feature point of each signal obtained in advance for each user. By collating, a single sensor can be used for non-contact and accurate personal authentication.
