Abstract
Various embodiments of the teachings herein include methods and/or systems for controlling a sensor system. For example, a method comprises: sensing a measured energy consumption profile of the sensor system using an energy measuring apparatus; comparing the measured energy consumption profile with one or more expected energy consumption profiles; selecting one expected energy consumption profile as closest to the measured energy consumption profile; defining at least one control command based on the closest energy consumption profile; and controlling the sensor system by executing the at least one control command.
Claims11
A method for controlling a sensor system, the method comprising:
- sensing a measured energy consumption profile of the sensor system using an energy measuring apparatus;
- comparing the measured energy consumption profile with one or more expected energy consumption profiles;
- selecting one expected energy consumption profile as closest to the measured energy consumption profile;
- defining at least one control command based on the closest energy consumption profile;
- and
- controlling the sensor system by executing the at least one control command.
A system comprising:
- an energy measuring apparatus sensing a measured energy consumption profile of a sensor system;
- a comparison unit comparing the measured energy consumption profile with expected energy consumption profiles;
- an identification unit identifying one of the expected energy consumption profiles as closest energy consumption profile to the measured energy consumption profile;
- a definition unit defining at least one control command based on the closest energy consumption profile;
- and
- a control unit controlling the sensor system by executing the at least one control command.
