Sensor device for a bicycle
First Claim
1. A sensor device without internee accessibility and mounted on or built into a component of a bicycle, the sensor device comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to register data regarding the bicycle,a data storage configured to store data regarding the bicycle registered by the at least one sensor,a processor configured to generate an output of the sensor device, anda transmitter configured to transmit by short range communication the output of the sensor device to a first external device configured to display the output of the sensor device to a user, whereinthe processor is configured to cause the transmitter to transmit the output of the sensor device to the first external device in one of;
a first mode, a second mode, a third mode, the first mode and the third mode simultaneously, or the second mode and the third mode simultaneously, and wherein;
the first mode is a normal operation mode in which the output of the sensor device generated by the processor is the data regarding the bicycle registered by the at least one sensor,the second mode is a service request mode in which the output of the sensor device generated by the processor comprises data different from the data regarding the bicycle registered by the at least one sensor which, when displayed by the first external device, signals anomalous operation of the sensor device, andthe third mode is a data transfer mode in which data stored in the data storage of the sensor device is transferred to the first external device or to a second external device.

Abstract
A bicycle sensor device of the type not having Internet accessibility and comprising at least one sensor element adapted for registering data regarding the bicycle, a data storage unit adapted for storing registered data regarding the bicycle, a processor element adapted for generating an output of the sensor device, and a transmitter element adapted for transmitting by short range communication an output of the sensor device to an external device being adapted for displaying the output of the sensor device to a user. The processor element is configured to cause the transmitter element to transmit the output of the sensor device to an external device in one of a first mode, a second mode and a third mode. The first mode is a normal operation mode, the second mode is a service request mode, and the third mode is a data transfer mode.
