Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the Div-Conq algorithm includes at least the steps of:
i) filtering each of the pre-processed PCG signals using at least one digital filter to generate a plurality of filtered PCG signals, each of the plurality of the filtered PCG signals being generated based on a corresponding one of the pre-processed PCG signals;
ii) segmenting each of the filtered PCG signals into PCG signal segments having a predetermined length;
iii) detecting compartments in the PCG signal segments, wherein the step of detecting compartments comprises the sub-steps of:
a) identifying related beats;
b) shifting each beat, related to the beat with the mean RMS energy;
c) finding sub-compartments of each beat; and
d) linking sub-compartments from different beats using dynamic programming to generate an indication of a heartbeat.
