Abstract
A device for ascertaining a suitable position of a sensor device for detecting a measured variable includes: a detection device for detecting environmental data in a surrounding area of the sensor device; a computing unit for ascertaining the suitable position of the sensor device based on the detected environmental data and the measured variable; and an output device for displaying the ascertained suitable position of the sensor device.
Claims16
A mobile device for ascertaining a suitable position to place a sensor device for detecting a measured variable, comprising:
- a detection device for detecting environmental data in a surrounding area of the sensor device, the detection device including an image sensor, the environmental data including an image of the surrounding area;
- a computing unit for ascertaining the suitable position to place the sensor device based at least on the detected environmental data and the detected or to be detected measured variable;
- and
- an output device including a display for displaying the ascertained suitable position to place the sensor device superimposed on a view of the surrounding area of the sensor device;
- wherein the detection device includes a position sensor detecting a position of the sensor device, the position sensor including a global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver system, the computing unit further ascertaining the suitable position to place the sensor device based on position data from the GPS receiver system;
- and
- wherein the sensor device is one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor or a chemical sensor.
A method for ascertaining a suitable position to place a sensor device for detecting a measured variable, comprising:
- detecting, using a detection device of a mobile device, environmental data in a surrounding area of the sensor device, the detection device including an image sensor, the environmental data including an image of the surrounding area;
- ascertaining, using a computing unit, the suitable position to place the sensor device based on the detected environmental data and the detected or to be detected measured variable;
- and
- displaying, using a display of the mobile device, the ascertained suitable position to place the sensor device superimposed on a view of the surrounding area of the sensor device;
- wherein the detection device includes a position sensor detecting a position of the sensor device, the position sensor including a global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver system, the computing unit further ascertaining the suitable position to place the sensor device based on position data from the GPS receiver system;
- and
- wherein the sensor device is one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor or a chemical sensor.
