PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biological information detection device or the like which enables lower power consumption according to the state of sleeping.SOLUTION: The biological information detection device comprises: a first light reception unit 141 for receiving light from a subject; a second light reception unit 142 for receiving light from the subject; at least one light emission unit 150 for emitting light to the subject; and a processing unit 200. When a distance between the light emission unit 150 and the first light reception unit 141 is L1, and a distance between the light emission unit 150 and the second light reception unit 142 is L2, L1<;L2 holds true. The processing unit 200 determines an active state of the subject on the basis of a first detection signal detected by the first light reception unit 141 and a second detection signal detected by the second light reception unit 142, and controls, according to the determined active state, a first detection operation performed by the light emission unit 150 and the first light reception unit 141 and a second detection operation performed by the light emission unit 150 and the second light reception unit 142.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】睡眠状態に応じて低消費電力化が可能な生体情報検出装置等を提供する。【解決手段】生体情報検出装置は、被検体からの光を受光する第1の受光部141と、被検体からの光を受光する第2の受光部142と、被検体に対して光を射出する少なくとも1つの発光部150と、処理部200と、を含む。発光部150と第1の受光部141との距離をL1とし、発光部150と第2の受光部142との距離をL2とした場合に、L1<L2である。処理部200は、第1の受光部141で検出された第1の検出信号と第2の受光部142で検出された第2の検出信号に基づいて被検体の活動状態の判定を行い、その活動状態に応じて発光部150及び第1の受光部141による第1の検出動作と発光部150及び第2の受光部142による第2の検出動作とを制御する。【選択図】図2
