Abstract
A signal processing system for a sensor for judging whether an event to be detected has occurred on the basis of a frequency of a sensor output includes a converting device for converting the sensor output into a square wave, a presuming device for presuming whether the frequency of the sensor output is lower than a predetermined frequency referred for judging whether the event to be detected has occurred on the basis of an output from the converting device, and a judging device for judging whether the event to be detected has occurred on the basis of an output from the presuming device.
Claims10
A sensor system for judging whether an event to be detected has occurred, comprising:
- a sensor outputting a sensor output whose frequency changes lower when the event has occurred,
- a converting means for converting the sensor output into a square wave;
- a presuming means for presuming whether the frequency of the sensor output is lower than a predetermined frequency on the basis of waveform within one cycle of an output from the converting means;
- and
- a judging means for judging that the event to be detected has occurred when the presuming means presumes that the frequency of the sensor output is lower than the predetermined frequency.
A sensor system for judging whether an event to be detected has occurred comprising:
- a sensor outputting a sensor output whose frequency changes lower when the event has occurred,
- a converting means for converting the sensor output into a square wave;
- an accentuating means for accentuating a peak portion of the sensor output;
- a determining means for determining the frequency of the sensor output on the basis of outputs from the converting means and the accentuating means and for determining whether the frequency of the sensor output is lower than a predetermined frequency;
- and
- a judging means for judging that the event to be detected has occurred when the determining means determines that the frequency of the sensor output is lower than the predetermined frequency.
