The present invention on the basis of different signal characteristics obtained by the light from a plurality of light emitting portions, the biological information detection apparatus for obtaining high-precision pulse wave information, to provide an electronic apparatus and a biological information detecting method and the like. A living body information detection apparatus 400 includes at least one light emitting unit for emitting light to a subject (corresponding to 150, etc.), corresponding to the at least one light receiving portion (140 for receiving light from the subject ) and, on the basis of a detection signal output from the light receiving unit includes a processing unit 200 that performs detection processing of the biological information processing section 200, when the pressing applied to the measurement region of the subject is the first pressing a first detection signal, pressed on the basis of a second detection signal when a small second pressing as compared with the first pressing, performs the detection process of the biological information.FIELD 5【課題】 複数の発光部からの光により取得される特性の異なる信号に基づいて、高精度な脈波情報を取得する生体情報検出装置、電子機器及び生体情報検出方法等を提供すること。【解決手段】 生体情報検出装置400は、被検体に対して光を出射する少なくとも1つの発光部(150等に対応)と、被検体からの光を受光する少なくとも1つの受光部(140に対応)と、受光部から出力される検出信号に基づいて、生体情報の検出処理を行う処理部200を含み、処理部200は、被検体の測定部位に与えられる押圧が第1の押圧である場合の第1の検出信号と、押圧が第1の押圧に比べて小さい第2の押圧である場合の第2の検出信号とに基づいて、生体情報の検出処理を行う。【選択図】 図5
