DATA INTEGRATION APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A data integration apparatus comprising:
- an information receiving unit receiving sensing information from at least one sensing device, the sensing information comprising a value indicating the existence of signals and confidence estimated parameters indicating the degree of confidence for the value indicating the existence of signals;
a weight reflecting unit generating a weighting factor based on the confidence estimated parameters; and
a confidence producing unit producing characteristic values indicating the degree of confidence of the sensing information transmitted from each sensing device using the value indicating the existence of signals and the weighting factor.

Abstract
Provided are a data integration apparatus and method using a weight factor. The data integration apparatus receives sensing information from at least one sensing device, the sensing information including a value indicating the existence of signals and confidence estimated parameters indicating the degree of confidence for the value indicating the existence of signals, and then generates the weighting factor based on the confidence estimated parameters. Then, the value indicating the existence of signals and the weighting factor are used to produce characteristic values of each sensing device and to finally determine the existence of signals.
