Apparatus and method for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
- a provider configured to provide measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored;
an evaluator configured to evaluate a plurality of the measurement values to obtain a measure indicating a temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values, wherein the measure comprises one of a variance measure, a standard deviation measure, or a range measure of the plurality of measurement values; and
a comparator configured to compare the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values with a predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the comparator is further configured to output a first comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values falls below the predetermined comparison parameter, or wherein the comparator is further configured to output a second comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the driving situation of the vehicle.

Abstract
An apparatus for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored comprises a means for providing a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the state parameter of the object to be monitored, a comparison means for comparing the measurement value to a predeterminable comparison parameter, wherein the comparison means is formed to output a first comparison signal when a predeterminable number of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter within a measurement interval, or to output a second comparison signal when the predeterminable number of measurement values exceeds or reaches the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the state parameter.

13. A method for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
providing measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored; evaluating a plurality of the measurement values to obtain a measure indicating a temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values, wherein the measure comprises one of a variance measure, a standard deviation measure, or a range measure of the plurality of measurement values; and comparing the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values to a predetermined comparison parameter to generate and output a first comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter, or to generate and output a second comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicates the driving situation of the vehicle.

14. A non-transitory storage medium comprising a computer program with a program code stored thereon such that, when running on a computer, is configured to perform a method for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
-
providing measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored; evaluating a plurality of the measurement values to obtain a measure indicating a temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values, wherein the measure comprises one of a variance measure, a standard deviation measure, or a range measure of the plurality of measurement values; and comparing the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values to a predeterminable comparison parameter to generate and output a first comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter, or to generate and output a second comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the driving situation of the vehicle.
