PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biometric information evaluating device and a biometric information evaluating method that enable difference between states to be known in a short measurement time with a small number of samples.SOLUTION: A biometric information evaluating device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a signal processing circuit. On the basis of multiple pieces of partial observation data which are included in each piece of observation data obtained by means of biometric observation for a prescribed period and have an observation period shorter than the observation period of the observation data, the signal processing circuit generates a characteristic value of a waveform being observed, for each piece of the observation data. The observation target of the biometric information evaluating device is a person or an animal, for example.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】少ないサンプル数と、短い測定時間で、状態間の差を知ることを可能にする生体情報評価装置および生体情報評価方法を提供する。【解決手段】本開示の一実施形態に係る生体情報評価装置は、所定の期間の生体観測により得られた各観測データに含まれる、観測データの観測期間よりも短い観測期間の複数の部分観測データに基づいて、観測対象波形の特性値を観測データごとに生成する信号処理回路を備えている。この生体情報評価装置の観測対象は、例えば、人、または、動物である。【選択図】図2
