Abstract
A sensor system has a first tag including a first communication circuit, and a second tag including a second communication circuit. The first tag is operative to initiate a first wireless transmission for reception by the second tag, the wireless transmission pertaining to a measurement effected by the first tag or the second tag. The second tag is operative to wirelessly communicate data representing the measurement to a reader device.
Claims20
A sensor system, comprising:
- a first tag including a first communication circuit, and a first encapsulation structure enclosing the first communication circuit;
- and
- a second tag including a second communication circuit and a second encapsulation structure enclosing the second communication circuit;
- wherein the first tag and the second tag are each operative such that:
- the first tag is to initiate a first wireless transmission for reception by the second tag, the wireless transmission pertaining to a measurement effected by the first tag or the second tag;
- and
- the second tag is to wirelessly communicate data representing the measurement to a reader device.
A method for operating a sensor system that includes a first tag having a first communication circuit and a second tag including a second communication circuit, the method comprising:
- initiating, by the first tag, a first wireless transmission for reception by the second tag, the wireless transmission pertaining to a measurement effected by the first tag or the second tag;
- and
- wirelessly communicating, by the second tag, data representing the measurement to a reader device.
