Signal Processing System
First Claim
1. A method for processing sensor signals, the method comprising:
- measuring one or more physical parameters in a first dimension on a seat and generating a first set of sensor signals for the first dimension;
measuring the one or more physical parameters in a second dimension on the seat and generating a second set of sensor signals for the second dimension;
multiplexing the first set of sensor signals into a first signal stream and the second set of sensor signals into a second signal stream;
converting the first signal stream to a first set of digital signals and the second signal stream to a second set of digital signals;
determining a set of first-dimension data from the first set of digital signals and a set of second-dimension data from the second set of digital signals; and
combining the set of first-dimension data and the set of second-dimension data to form a set of two-dimensional data.

Abstract
A system and method for processing sensor signals is disclosed. The system comprises a sensor array, a multiplexer, a converter, a selection module and a combination module. The sensor array measures a physical parameter in a first dimension on a seat and generates a first set of sensor signals. The sensor array measures the physical parameter in a second dimension on the seat and generates a second set of sensor signals. The multiplexer multiplexes the first set of sensor signals into a first signal stream and the second set of sensor signals into a second signal stream. The converter converts the first signal stream to a first set of digital signals and the second signal stream to a second set of digital signals. The selection module determines a set of first-dimension data and a set of second-dimension data. The combination module forms a set of two-dimensional data.
