Sensor node for use in sensor network, has preprocessor activating processor by satisfying preset criteria, where processor reconfigures preprocessor independent of external input by satisfying other preset criteria

摘要

The node (100) has a sensor (102) e.g. temperature sensor, for detecting physical values/environmental conditions and for outputting measuring data. A preprocessor (106) e.g. application specific integrated circuit, preprocesses the data, and activates a processor (108) by satisfying preset criteria. The processor reconfigures the preprocessor independent of an external input by satisfying other preset criteria such that reception or preprocessing of the data by the reconfigured preprocessor differs from the reception or preprocessing of the data before the reconfiguration of the preprocessor. An independent claim is also included for a configuration method for a sensor device.
