PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To notify a user of a cause of incorrect detection of a brain wave detection signal, which is caused by at least the reduction or the like of the outside air temperature.SOLUTION: The biological information detecting device 1 includes a brain wave detecting part 4 attached on a user for detecting a brain wave signal of the user, and the SN condition of the brain wave signal is detected. It is determined that whether the SN condition is better or worse than the predetermined reference condition, and when the SN condition is not better than the reference condition, it is determined that whether the temperature around the brain wave detecting part 4 is lower or not than the reference temperature. In the case of the lower temperature around the brain wave signal detecting part 4 than the reference temperature, the device is adapted to report to an annunciation part 55 that the brain wave signal cannot correctly be detected because the temperature around the brain wave signal detecting part 4 is lower than the predetermined reference temperature.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】少なくとも外気温の低下等に起因して、脈波検出信号を正しく検出することができない場合は、ユーザに対してその原因を報知する。【解決手段】ユーザに装着されてユーザの脈波信号を検出する脈波信号検出部4を備える生体情報検出装置1において、脈波信号のSN状態を検出し、SN状態が所定の基準状態よりも良好か否かを判別し、SN状態が前記基準状態よりも良好ではないと判別された場合に、脈波信号検出部4の周囲の温度が所定の基準温度よりも低いか否かを判別し、脈波信号検出部4の周囲の温度が基準温度よりも低い場合に、脈波信号検出部4の周囲の温度が所定の基準温度よりも低いため脈波信号を正しく検出できない旨を報知部55に報知するように構成する。【選択図】図6
