Abstract
A method for providing ultrasonic signal information includes receiving a plurality of echo signals, ascertaining a relatedness of individual echo signals from the plurality of echo signals based on a run time and/or a significance of the echo signals, grouping the echo signals for which a relatedness was ascertained in an echo signal group, and providing a property that is characteristic for the echo signal group. The present invention furthermore relates to a device associated with the method.

A method for providing ultrasonic signal information, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of echo signals;
- ascertaining one or more relationships that are each of respective subsets of the plurality of echo signals, each of the relationships being of the echo signals of the respective subset to each other and being based on run times and/or a respective significance of the echo signals;
- and
- for each of the subsets or which a respective one of the one or more relationships has been ascertained:
- grouping the echo signals of the respective subset into a respective echo signal group;
- and
- providing a property that is characteristic of the respective echo signal group.
A device for providing ultrasonic signal information, comprising:
- an ultrasonic receiver, wherein the ultrasonic receiver is configured to receive a plurality of echo signals;
- and
- electronics, wherein the electronics is configured to:
- ascertain one or more relationships that are each of respective subsets of the plurality of echo signals, each of the relationships being of the echo signals of the respective subset to each other and being based on run times and/or a respective significance of the echo signals;
- and
- for each of the subsets or which a respective one of the one or more relationships has been ascertained:
- group the echo signals of the respective subset into a respective echo signal group;
- and
- provide a property that is characteristic of the respective echo signal group.
