SENSOR FUNCTION SYSTEM AND SENSOR DEVICE FOR USE IN SUCH A SYSTEM

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
One aspect of the disclosure pertains to a sensor function system configured to organize a set of sensor devices in a sensor device hierarchy. The sensor device hierarchy may comprise at least a first tier of one or more sensor devices and a second tier of one or more sensor devices. One or more sensor devices of the set of sensor devices is configured for providing measurement data to perform a sensor function. The sensor function system may be configured to determine association of one or more sensor devices with the first tier of sensor devices and association of one or more sensor devices with the second tier of sensor devices. The sensor function system is further configured to assign a first tier identifier to the one or more sensor devices of the first tier and transmit the first tier identifier to the one or more sensor devices if determined to be associated with the first tier of sensor devices and to assign a second tier identifier to the one or more sensor devices of the second tier and transmit the second tier identifier to the one or more sensor devices if determined to be associated with the second tier of sensor devices. The disclosure also relates to a sensor function system to obtain measurement data and to sensor devices for use with such sensor function systems.
