PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently measure a heartbeat only in timing appropriate for cardiotachometry.SOLUTION: A cardiotachometry control device comprises: a voice data acquisition part 21A that acquires voice data detected by a microphone 11A for detecting a voice of an animal or a voice around the animal; a determination part 24A that determines a time zone, in which the animal hardly moves, as a period of measurement time, on the basis of the voice data acquired by the voice data acquisition part 21A; and a measurement control part 25 that measures the animal's heartbeat by controlling a heart rate meter attached to the animal, on the basis of the period of measurement time determined by the determination part 24A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】心拍の測定に適したタイミングに限って、効率的に心拍を測定すること。【解決手段】動物または動物の周囲の音声を検出するマイク11Aが検出した音声データを取得する音声データ取得部21Aと、音声データ取得部21Aが取得した音声データに基づいて、動物の動作が少ない時間帯を測定時間として判定する判定部24Aと、判定部24Aが判定した測定時間に基づいて、動物に装着された心拍計を制御して動物の心拍を測定する測定制御部25とを備える。【選択図】図1
