SENSOR APPLICATION COMPRISING A CARRIER STRUCTURE AND A SENSOR STRIP, CARRIER STRUCTURE, SENSOR STRIP AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SENSOR APPLICATION
First Claim
1. A sensor application for a moveable body, comprisingan elastic carrier structure with a connecting surface, which can be fastened to the surface of the body by the connecting surface anda moveable sensor strip, which is held by the carrier structure following the contour of the surface,whereinthe sensor strip and the carrier structure are connected to one another by means of a detachable connection, withthe carrier structure having a data storage device, in which a code is stored and which has a transmit interface for the code, andthe sensor strip having a switching unit, with which the sensor function can be disabled and enabled and which has a receive interface for an enabling and disabling signal obtained by evaluating the code.

Abstract
A sensor application (11) has modules consisting of a carrier strip (13) and a sensor strip (12). The sensor strip (12) is fixed to the carrier strip (13) which, in turn, is fixed, for example, to the back of a human proband. In this way, the spinal curvature can be determined, the carrier strip (13) and the sensor strip (12) being elastically embodied for this purpose. The carrier strip (13) has a data memory (22), for example an RFID label on which relevant information is stored. The data can be evaluated by an evaluation device (14), and the sensor strip (12) is only released when the carrier strip is suitable for the sensor strip used. In this way, defective functions and measuring errors are advantageously avoided.

3. An elastic carrier structure with a connecting surface, which can be fastened to the surface of a moveable body by way of the connecting surface, comprising a receptacle for a flexible sensor strip, which can be held by the carrier structure following the contour of the surface,
wherein the carrier structure has a detachable connecting structure for fastening the sensor strip, and a data storage device, in which a code is stored and which is equipped with a transmit interface for the code.
-
8. A flexible sensor strip, which can be held by an elastic carrier structure, which can be fastened for its part to a connecting surface on the surface of a moveable body,
wherein the sensor strip comprises has a detachable connecting structure relative to the fastening on the carrier strip following the contour of the surface, and has a switching unit (28), with which the sensor function can be disabled and enabled and which is equipped with a receive interface for an enabling or disabling signal obtained by evaluating a code stored in the carrier structure.
-
11. A method for operating a sensor application for a moveable body comprising the steps of:
-
fastening an elastic carrier structure to a connecting surface on the surface of the body, fastening a flexible sensor strip to the carrier structure following the contour of the surface, and generating the measured values describing the contour of the body, wherein the sensor strip and the carrier structure are connected to one another by a detachable connection, with the carrier structure having a data storage device, in which a code is stored, which is read out by way of a transmit interface and evaluated, and the sensor strip only being enabled for the generation of measured values if the evaluation of the code indicates a suitability of the carrier structure to the sensor strip and is otherwise disabled. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
