Sensor interface for interfacing with a sensor
First Claim
1. A sensor interface for interfacing with a sensor, the sensor interface comprising:
- a memory configured to store data received at the sensor interface from a sensor; and
a processor configured to;
determine a rate of change of at least one parameter being monitored by the sensor based on a difference between data values in the memory;
determine a transmission rate of advertising packets based on the determined rate of change of the at least one parameter being monitored by the sensor; and
transmit advertising packets at the determined transmission rate.

Abstract
A sensor interface for interfacing with a sensor such as an electrochemical sensor, a temperature sensor or the like in which the interface comprises a memory configured to store data received at the interface from a sensor. The sensor interface is configured to assess the difference between data values in the memory, and to transmit advertising packets at a rate dependent on the difference between the values. The sensor interface includes a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory. The volatile memory is configured to store data received at the sensor interface from a sensor. The non-volatile memory is configured to store data stored in the volatile memory. The sensor interface is configured such that: data received at the sensor is stored in the volatile memory forming stored data until the volatile memory is substantially full and then at least some of the stored data is transferred to the non-volatile memory.

3. A method for transmitting an advertising packet from a sensor interface for interfacing with a sensor, the method comprising:
-
storing data received at the sensor interface from a sensor in memory; determining, by a processor, a rate of change of at least one parameter being monitored by the sensor based on a difference between data values in the memory; determining, by the processor, a transmission rate of advertising packets based on the determined rate of change of the at least one parameter being monitored by the sensor; and transmitting, by the processor, advertising packets at the determined transmission rate. - View Dependent Claims (4, 17, 19)
