Method and device for performing an operation based on sensor signal data

A device for performing an operation based on sensor signal data associated with a target event obtained from at least one sensor, said device comprising a processor and a transceiver, wherein said processor and transceiver are arranged for performing said operation, controlled by said processor, in accordance with a method comprising

• generating, by said processor, a feature profile from said sensor signal data;
• wherein said generating comprises using a predefined data analysis algorithm, comprising a transformation algorithm, wherein said transformation algorithm is a Fast Fourier Transform algorithm, and said generated feature profile is a spectrum feature profile comprising a set of frequency components having an amplitude exceeding a predetermined threshold value, wherein said set of predetermined feature profiles comprises predetermined spectrum feature profiles defined by a number and frequency of frequency components exceeding said threshold;
• matching, by said processor, said generated feature profile to a set of predetermined feature profiles available to said processor;
• determining, by said processor, whether said operation can be performed locally on said device or remotely, based on an evaluation of said sensor signal data;
• performing said operation, by said device, controlled by said processor, upon detection of the target event based on local processing of said sensor signal data, if said generated feature profile matches at least one of said set of predetermined feature profiles, and
• performing said operation, by said device, controlled by said processor, upon detection of the target event based on remote processing of said sensor signal data, if said generated feature profile does not match at least one of said set of predetermined feature profiles,
• wherein said sensor signal data comprises at least one of motion data, ambient sound data, image data, video data, temperature data, humidity data, pressure data, luminance data, chemical composition or substance data, olfactive data and tactile data, and
• wherein performing said operation, by said device, comprises controlling lighting.
