Computer module for sensor system with activation alert
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of preparing a computer module for the receipt of an activation alert communicated from a sensor system, comprising the steps of:
- (a) communicating the activation alert from the sensor system to the computer module, wherein the activation alert is communicated from the sensor system at least partially simultaneously with an evaluation of an input signal by the sensor system to prepare the computer module to respond to a validated output signal; and
(b) initializing a start-up and initialization sequence of the computer module in response to receiving the activation alert.
