Mobile monitoring device
First Claim
1. A method for operating a mobile monitoring device, comprising:
- reading a value of a measured gas property of a gas, the gas being in the environment around the mobile monitoring device, and providing a gas measurement signal dependent on the read value of the measured gas property;
reading a value of a measured physical body property of a body of a person wearing the mobile monitoring device and providing a body measurement signal dependent on the read value of the measured body property;
receiving the gas measurement signal and the body measurement signal by a control unit for controlling the mobile monitoring device;
determining a correlation signal dependent on a degree of correlation between a gas signal derived from the gas measurement signal and a body signal derived from the body measurement signal; and
controlling the mobile monitoring device to (1) generate an alarm signal when the correlation signal indicates that the gas signal or body signal exceeds or drops below a first predetermined threshold value and (2) enter an energy-saving mode when the correlation signal drops below a second predetermined threshold value and the gas signal is below a predetermined threshold value.
