SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A sensor system for generating control signals that are employed for setting switching states, whereby a user located in the vicinity of the sensor system functions as a signal-transmitting structure, the sensor system comprising:
- a first detector comprising a sensor, a local-key circuit and a signal-outputting circuit for generating a tell signal including data corresponding to a sensor event detected by the sensor,a second detector also comprising a sensor, a local-key circuit and a signal-outputting circuit for generating a tell signal including data corresponding to a sensor event detected by the sensor, anda signal requester comprising an interface that outputs seek signals into the user and receives tell signals from the user,the local-key circuit assigned to each detector being configured in such a way that the tell signal carries information content that enables assigning of the tell signal to the respective detectors.

Abstract
The invention relates to a signal processing system and to individual components of said system. The aim of the invention is to provide solutions which make it possible to solve a number of sensor problems in a cost-effective manner within a limited space with relatively little circuitry. To this end, a sensor system for generating control signals is disclosed, said control signals being used for setting switching states, a user located in the region of the sensor system acting as a—signal transmission structure. Said sensor system comprises: a first sensor component having a sensor, a local-key switch and a signal extraction switch for generating a partial signal whose information content is indicative of a sensor event detected by the sensor, a second sensor component also having a sensor, a local-key switch and a signal extraction switch for generating a partial signal whose information content is indicative of a sensor event detected by the sensor of a signal requester component that comprises an interface device via which an extraction of seek signals searched in the mentioned user and an introduction of partial signals from the user in the interface device is carried out, wherein the local-key switch associated to each sensor component is configured in such a way that the partial signal carries an information content that allows the partial signal to be allocated to the respective sensor component. It is thus advantageously possible to detect the signals of several sensors without the need of specific direct wirings between the sensor components and the signal requester component.
