Detecting device for detecting a physical quantity

A method for detecting a physical quantity, comprising:

• detecting, by a detector of a detecting device, the physical quantity;
• outputting, by the detector of the detecting device, data representing the physical quantity;
• transmitting, by a communications interface of the detecting device, the data to a predetermined target network address at a predetermined transmission time via a communications network, wherein the predetermined transmission time is part of a communication profile of the detecting device stored in a memory of the detecting device;
• receiving, by the communications interface of the detecting device, a broadcast signal from a server entity, wherein the broadcast signal comprises a further communications profile, wherein the further communications profile is assigned to the detecting device;
• and
• modifying, by the detecting device, the communications profile based on the further communications profile.

A method for communicating with a detecting device via a communications network, wherein the detecting device is configured to detect a physical quantity and to output data representing the physical quantity, wherein a communications profile of the detecting device is stored in the detecting device, wherein the communications profile defines a predetermined transmission time for the transmission of the data, wherein the predetermined transmission time is assigned to the detecting device, wherein the detecting device is configured to transmit the data to a predetermined target network address at the predetermined transmission time via the communications network, wherein the method comprises:

• determining, by a processor of a server entity, a further communications profile of the detecting device, wherein the further communications profile is assigned to the detecting device;
• generating, by the processor of the server entity, a broadcast signal, wherein the broadcast signal comprises the further communications profile;
• and
• transmitting, by a communications interface of the server entity, the broadcast signal to the detecting device via the communications network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for detecting a physical quantity, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate performance of the following:

• detecting the physical quantity;
• outputting data representing the physical quantity;
• transmitting the data to a predetermined target network address at a predetermined transmission time via a communications network, wherein the predetermined transmission time is part of a communication profile of the detecting device stored in a memory of the detecting device;
• receiving a broadcast signal from a server entity, wherein the broadcast signal comprises a further communications profile, wherein the further communications profile is assigned to the detecting device;
• and
• modifying the communications profile based on the further communications profile.
