Apparatus and method for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
- a provider configured to provide a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored;
a comparator configured to compare the measurement values with a predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the comparator is further configured to output a first comparison signal when a predetermined number of measurement values within a measurement interval falls below the predetermined comparison parameter, or wherein the comparator is further configured to output a second comparison signal when the predetermined number of measurement values within the measurement interval reaches or exceeds the predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicates the driving situation of the vehicle,wherein the driving situation of the vehicle comprises one of a parking state causing a static load condition in the tire and a motion state causing dynamic load changes in the tire,wherein the provider comprises a tire pressure sensor,wherein the provider comprises an evaluator configured to evaluate the plurality of measurement values and provide evaluated measurement values as measurement values in response thereto;
wherein the evaluator comprises a determiner configured to determine an average value of the plurality of measurement values, wherein the evaluated measurement values are the differences or the absolute value of the differences between the measurement values and the average value, andwherein the average value of the evaluated measurement values is the predetermined comparison parameter.

Abstract
An apparatus for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored includes a means for providing a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values include information relating to the state parameter of the object to be monitored, a comparison means for comparing the measurement value to a predeterminable comparison parameter, wherein the comparison means is formed to output a first comparison signal when a predeterminable number of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter within a measurement interval, or to output a second comparison signal when the predeterminable number of measurement values exceeds or reaches the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the state parameter.

14. An apparatus for determining a state parameter of an object to be monitored, comprising:
-
a provider configured to provide a plurality of measurement values, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the state parameter of the object to be monitored; a comparator configured to compare the measurement values with a predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the comparator is further configured to output a first comparison signal when a predetermined number of measurement values within a measurement interval falls below the predetermined comparison parameter, or wherein the comparator is further configured to output a second comparison signal when the predetermined number of measurement values within the measurement interval reaches or exceeds the predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the state parameter, and wherein the predetermined number of measurement values is at least two; wherein the provider comprises an evaluator configured to evaluate the plurality of measurement values and provide evaluated measurement values as measurement values in response thereto; wherein the evaluator comprises a determiner configured to determine an average value of the plurality of measurement values, and a subtracter configured to determine a difference between the measurement values and the average value, wherein the evaluated measurement values are the differences or an absolute value of the differences; wherein the determiner is configured to determine an average value of the measurement values, and wherein the average value of the evaluated measurement values is the predetermined comparison parameter; wherein the state parameter is a driving situation of a vehicle, and wherein the driving situation comprises one of a non-operated state and a driving state, and wherein the provider comprises a tire pressure sensor or an acceleration sensor. - View Dependent Claims (15)
