Abstract
According to some embodiments, a sensor network may be provided with re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry configured to monitor data collected by the sensor network. The re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry may also generate a wakeup signal in response to a defined wakeup event detected by the sensor network.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a sensor network;
- and
- re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry configured to monitor data collected by the sensor network and selectively generate a wakeup signal in response to a defined wakeup event detected by the sensor network, wherein the defined wakeup event is programmable, after the system is deployed, by receipt of a wireless signal associated with switch and/or bias information.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring data collected by a sensor network via re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry;
- and
- generating a wakeup signal in response to a presence of speech condition detected by a multi-stage analysis of the data collected by the sensor network, wherein the presence of speech condition is programmable after the sensor network and re-programmable an/d reconfigurable analog circuitry are deployed.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a user interface, user input to configure re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry that monitors data collected by a sensor network and selectively generates a wakeup signal in response to a defined wakeup event detected by the sensor network, wherein the defined wakeup event is programmable after the sensor network and re-programmable and/or reconfigurable analog circuitry is deployed by receipt of a wireless signal associated with switch and/or bias configuration information;
- automatically translating, by a configuration module, the user input into switch and/or bias configuration information;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting the switch and/or bias configuration information to the re-programmable and/or re-configurable analog circuitry.
