Sensor application comprising a carrier structure and a sensor strip, carrier structure, sensor strip and method for operating the sensor application

A sensor application for a moveable body, comprising

• an elastic carrier structure with a connecting surface, which can be fastened to the surface of the body by way of the connecting surface, and
• a flexible sensor strip, which is held by the carrier structure following the contour of the surface,
• wherein
• the sensor strip and the carrier structure are connected to one another by means of a detachable connection, with
• the carrier structure having a data storage device, in which a code is stored and which has a transmit interface for the code, and
• the sensor strip being connected to a control device, which has a receive interface for the code and an evaluation unit for the code for generating an enabling or disabling signal, with which the sensor function can be disabled and enabled.

An elastic carrier structure with a connecting surface, which can be fastened to the surface of a moveable body by way of the connecting surface, comprising a receptacle for a flexible sensor strip, which can be held by the carrier structure following the contour of the surface,

• wherein
• the carrier structure
• has a detachable connecting structure for fastening the sensor strip, and
• a data storage device, in which a code is stored and which is equipped with a transmit interface for the code.

A flexible sensor strip, which can be held by an elastic carrier structure, which can be fastened for its part to a connecting surface on the surface of a moveable body,

• wherein
• the sensor strip comprises
• has a detachable connecting structure relative to the fastening on the carrier strip following the contour of the surface, and
• has a switching unit (28), with which the sensor function can be disabled and enabled and which is equipped with a receive interface for an enabling or disabling signal obtained by evaluating a code stored in the carrier structure.

A method for operating a sensor application for a moveable body comprising the steps of:

• fastening an elastic carrier structure to a connecting surface on the surface of the body,
• fastening a flexible sensor strip to the carrier structure following the contour of the surface, and
• generating the measured values describing the contour of the body,
• wherein
• the sensor strip and the carrier structure are connected to one another by a detachable connection, with
• the carrier structure having a data storage device, in which a code is stored, which is read out by way of a transmit interface and evaluated, and
• the sensor strip only being enabled for the generation of measured values if the evaluation of the code indicates a suitability of the carrier structure to the sensor strip and is otherwise disabled.
