Abstract
Disclosed is a combined type sensor device including a transceiver configured to transmit and receive data to and from a user terminal, a connector combined with a sensor module, and a processor configured to identify a type of the sensor module, to transmit the identified type of the sensor module to the user terminal through the transceiver, to update the sensor module based on a firmware file received from the user terminal through the transceiver, and to change communication setting according to the identified type of the sensor module.
Claims12
A combined type sensor device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive data to and from a user terminal;
- a connector combined with a sensor device;
- and
- a processor configured to identify a type of the sensor device from a plurality of sensor device types, to transmit the identified type of the sensor device to the user terminal through the transceiver, to update the identified type of sensor device based on a firmware file relating to the identified type of sensor device that is received from the user terminal through the transceiver, and to change a pre-established communication setting of the transceiver according to the identified type of the sensor device, wherein:
- the sensor device includes a specific resistor part having a different resistivity value for each type of the sensor device of the plurality of sensor device types;
- the combined type sensor device further includes a fixed resistor part having a predetermined fixed resistance value;
- and
- the processor identifies the type of the sensor device based on an output voltage when the specific resistor part and the fixed resistor part are connected.
