APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A STATE PARAMETER OF AN OBJECT TO BE MONITORED
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored, comprising:
- a provider configured to provide a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the state parameter of the object to be monitored;
a comparator configured to compare the measurement values with a predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the comparator is further configured to output a first comparison signal when a predetermined number of measurement values within a measurement interval falls below the predetermined comparison parameter, or wherein the comparator is further configured to output a second comparison signal when the predetermined number of measurement values within the measurement interval reaches or exceeds the predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the state parameter, and wherein the predetermined number of measurement values is at least two.

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.

18. A method for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored, comprising:
-
providing a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the state parameter of the object to be monitored; and
comparing the measurement values to a predetermined comparison parameter to generate and output a first comparison signal when a predetermined number of measurement values within a measurement interval of the plurality of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter, or to generate and output a second comparison signal when the predetermined number of measurement values within the measurement interval of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicates the state parameter, and wherein the predeterminable number is at least two.

19. A computer program with a program code for performing a method for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored, comprising:
-
providing a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the state parameter of the object to be monitored; and
comparing the measurement values to a predeterminable comparison parameter to generate and output a first comparison signal when a predetermined number of measurement values within a measurement interval of the plurality of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter, or to generate and output a second comparison signal when the predetermined number of measurement values within the measurement interval of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the state parameter, and wherein the predeterminable number is at least two, wherein the computer program runs on a computer.
