Transmitting ultrasonic signal data

A method for transmitting sensor data from a sensor to a computer system in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• emitting an ultrasonic burst;
• receiving an ultrasonic signal and forming an ultrasonic reception signal including a sequence of sample values, wherein a temporal date is allocated to each of the sample values in the sequence of sample values;
• determining at least two parameter signals, each of the at least two parameter signals referring to a presence respectively of one basic signal object allocated to the respective parameter signal using at least one filter from the sequence of sample values of the reception signal;
• wherein each of the parameter signals is configured a time-discrete sequence of respective parameter signal values;
• and
• wherein one temporal date is allocated to each of the parameter signal values;
• wherein, hereinafter, the at least two parameter signals are referred to together as a feature vector signal;
• wherein, the feature vector signal is thus configured as a time-discrete sequence of feature vector signal values, formed by the parameter signal values of the at least two parameter signals, each of the parameter signal values for a respective feature vector signal value having a same temporal date;
• and
• wherein the respective temporal date is allocated to each of the respective feature vector signal values thus formed;
• evaluating a temporal profile of the feature vector signal and concluding on a signal object which is formed by a temporal sequence of basic signal objects and to which a symbol is allocated, while determining an evaluation value with a temporal profile;
• comparing the evaluation value of a temporal date to a threshold value vector while forming a Boolean result which may take one of a first Boolean value and a second Boolean value;
• and
• transmitting the symbol of the signal object and the temporal date allocated to this symbol from the sensor to the computer system, if the Boolean result for the temporal date takes the first Boolean value.
