Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A respiratory condition analysis apparatus includes a respiratory signal acquisition section configured to acquire a time-series respiratory signal including respiratory sound of a living body, a respiratory segment identification section configured to identify a respiratory segment that is a time segment including the respiratory sound in the respiratory signal, a feature value generation section configured to generate a predetermined feature value of the respiratory signal for the identified respiratory segment, and a respiratory abnormality degree generation section configured to generate a degree of abnormality of the respiratory sound included in the respiratory signal on the basis of the feature value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A respiratory condition analysis apparatus comprising: one or more processors configured to: acquire a time-series respiratory signal including respiratory sound of a living body, wherein the time-series respiratory signal is measured by one or more sensors coupled to the living body; generate a degree of correlation between a respiratory sound model set in advance and the respiratory signal; generate a degree of reliability of the respiratory sound re…
