BODY PARAMETER SENSING
First Claim
1. A body parameter sensing arrangement comprising clothing (10), a plurality of sensors (12, 20) for sensing body signals, located at mutually movable relative positions in the clothing (10) and a processing circuit (26) coupled to the plurality of sensors (12, 20), the processing circuit (26) being configured to identify selected ones of the sensors (12, 20) that carry valid body signals by clustering the sensors (12, 20) according to a measure of similarity between signals from the sensors (12, 20) and to use a cluster of sensors (12, 20) with a maximal count of sensors (12, 20) within a minimal cluster diameter defined by said measure of similarity, to select sensors (12, 20) to identify the selected ones of the sensors (12, 20) that carry valid body signals.

Abstract
A body parameter sensing arrangement comprising clothing (10) and a plurality of sensors (12, 20) for sensing body signals, located at mutually movable relative positions in the clothing (10). Processing circuit (26) coupled to the plurality of sensors (12, 20), is configured to identify selected ones of the sensors (12, 20) that carry valid body signals. The identification by clustering the sensors (12, 20) according to similarity between signals from the sensors (12, 20). A cluster of sensors (12, 20) is determined with a maximal count of sensors (12, 20) within a minimal cluster diameter A cluster diameter defined by a measure of similarity or distance between signals form the sensors is used. The cluster is used to select sensors (12, 20) to identify the selected ones of the sensors (12, 20) that carries valid body signals on the basis of membership of the cluster
