L'unité de spécification de section spécifie une première section et/ou une seconde section en utilisant des valeurs seuils pour les valeurs indiquant les amplitudes de données sonores. La première section est une section dans laquelle la respiration est estimée comme ayant lieu, tandis que la seconde section est une section entre une pluralité des premières sections. Les valeurs révélant des amplitudes indiquent les intensités de vibrations dans les données sonores aux moments respectifs. De plus, l'unité de spécification de section détermine les valeurs seuils sur la base des données sonores.
