Abstract
Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising measuring a capacitance value between two measurement points in a capacitive sensing sensor of a door/window displacement detector, wherein the capacitance value between the two measurement points changes based on a proximity of the two measurement points to a door/window; and determining an open/close status of the door/window based on the capacitance value.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- measuring a capacitance value between two measurement points in a capacitive sensing sensor of a door/window displacement detector, wherein the capacitance value between the two measurement points changes based on a proximity of the two measurement points to a door/window;
- and
- determining an open/close status of the door/window based on the capacitance value.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to:
- measure a capacitance value between two measurement points in a capacitive sensing sensor of a door/window displacement detector, wherein the capacitance value between the two measurement points changes based on a proximity of the two measurement points to a door/window;
- and
- determine an open/close status of the door/window based on the capacitance value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause to the processor to:
- measure a capacitance value between two measurement points in a capacitive sensing sensor of a door/window displacement detector, wherein the capacitance value between the two measurement points changes based on a proximity of the two measurement points to a door/window;
- and
- determine an open/close status of the door/window based on the capacitance value.
