Abstract:
1. A method of controlling of an R-peak detection apparatus which detects an R-peak from an ElectroCardioGram (ECG) signal, the method comprising: receiving the ECG signal; filtering the received ECG signal to remove noise from the ECG signal; reading out a pre-stored ECG template; comparing the received ECG signal with the pre-stored ECG template to determine a similarity between the ECG signal and the pre-stored ECG template; determining whether the similarity is equal to or greater than a threshold value; and when the similarity is equal to or greater than the threshold value, repeatedly updating the pre-stored ECG template according to a set number of times and determining a corresponding interval as the R-peak, wherein the threshold value is determined using an average and a distribution of a correlation between the ECG signal and the pre-stored ECG template.
