In one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a signal corresponding to electrical activity of a patient's heart; separating the signal into component signals; detecting fractional phase transitions for each of the component signals; generating, at each of the detected fractional phase transitions for each of the component signals, a data object containing a time value and an amplitude value; for a set of consecutive data objects associated with a first component signal of the component signals, detecting a peak amplitude; for a set of consecutive data objects associated with a second component signal of the component signals, detecting a peak amplitude; determining that the peak amplitudes satisfy a first time; calculating a consolidated peak amplitude and a consolidated peak time; and in response to determining that the consolidated peak amplitude satisfies both an amplitude criterion and a second time criterion, providing an indication of a detected heartbeat.

A signal conversion from an input signal to an output signal where the filter used is factorized so that the conversion comprises determining 1) only a first factor at each sampling time of the input signal, where this first factor is independent on the sampling times of the output signal, and 2) only a second factor at each sampling time of the output signal, where this second factor is independent of the sampling times of the input signal. This reduces the computational load for this conversion. In addition, for most filters, the factors may be calculated recursively further increasing the computational load and also reducing the storage requirements. This allows for instantaneous changes in the sampling rates or non-uniform sampling rates with low computational requirements and low memory usage.

A method for setting a filter frequency response includes: dividing a target frequency band into multiple first partial bands at a frequency corresponding to an intersection between a first line representative of a target spectrum envelope and a second line representative of a first spectrum envelope derived from smoothing a measured frequency spectrum; and setting a frequency response of a filter corresponding to a first partial band specified by an operator from among the multiple first partial bands, in accordance with a setting operation for setting an adjustment amount performed by the operator with respect to the specified first partial band.

A method of increasing the sample rate of a digital signal by creating intermediate sample points between adjacent neighbouring sample points comprising the step of populating each of the intermediate sample points depending on a weighted influence of a predetermined number of the neighbouring sample points, the weighted influence being calculated by representing the digital signal or filter at the predetermined number of sample points at least in part by its cosine components, which are each represented by absolute values of a cosine function in the time domain substantially limited to half a waveform cycle at its mid-point; combining the aforementioned cosine components at each of the neighbouring sample points to obtain waveforms at each of the neighboring sample points; determining values for each of the waveforms at the intermediate sample points and combining the determined values at the intermediate sample point to derive the weighted influence.
