1. A body motion determination system for determining whether a body motion of a subject on a bed presents or not, the system comprising:
a load detector configured to detect a load of the subject on the bed;
a display; and
a controller configured to control the body motion determination system to:
calculate non-negative-valued averages of a detection value of the load detector continuously in a period;
set a threshold value to be used in determining whether the body motion of the subject presents or not, based on a minimum value of the non-negative-valued averages calculated in the period;
calculate a standard deviation of the detection value of the load detector;
determine whether the body motion of the subject presents or not based on a comparison between the calculated standard deviation and the threshold value; and
cause the display to display a result of the determining of whether the body motion of the subject presents or not to a user of the system, or cause an auditory device to perform a notification based on the result of the determining of whether the body motion of the subject presents or not,
wherein the controller is further configured:
to newly set the threshold value when the controller determines that the body motion of the subject presents, based on the minimum value of the non-negative-valued averages calculated in the period after a determination that the body motion of the subject presents; and
then continue to use the newly set threshold value until the controller determines that the body motion of the subject presents next and another threshold value is determined.
