PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure that a state of a living body can be stably measured without increasing the number of components.SOLUTION: A living body measurement device comprises: a light emitting element that applies light to an object to be measured a light receiving element that receives light reflected from the object to be measured a light receiving state monitoring part that determines whether to measure a state of a living body on the basis of a light receiving state in the light receiving element and a control part that measures the state of the living body on the basis of the light received by the light receiving element when the light receiving state monitoring part determines to measure the state of the living body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】部品点数を増やすことなく、安定して生体の状態を測定することができる。【解決手段】生体測定装置は、測定対象に光を照射する発光素子と、測定対象から反射した光を受光する受光素子と、受光素子における受光状況に基づいて、生体の状態を測定するか否かを判定する受光状況監視部と、受光状況監視部が生体の状態を測定すると判定した場合に、受光素子が受光する光に基づいて、生体の状態を測定する制御部と、を備える。【選択図】図3
