A detected signal of a heartbeat sensor and a detected signal of an inertial sensor are received by a processor. The processor estimates a heart rate in a case where an exercise intensity obtain from the detected signal of the inertial sensor is equal to or more than a threshold value, based on a relation between the exercise intensity and a heart rate obtained from the detected signal of the heartbeat sensor during a period in which the exercise intensity obtained from the detected signal of the inertial sensor is less than the threshold value.

CONTACTLESS COUGH DETECTION AND ATTRIBUTION

Methods, devices, and systems for contactless cough detection and attribution are presented herein. Audio data may be received using a microphone. A cough may be identified as having occurred based on the received audio data. Radar data may be received indicative of reflected radio waves from a radar sensor. A state analysis process may be performed using the received radar data. The detected cough may be attributed to a particular user based at least in part on the state analysis process performed using the radar data.
