Barometer Adaptive Sampling by Tight Integration With Other Sensors and Actuators - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031185 titled 'Barometer Adaptive Sampling by Tight Integration With Other Sensors and Actuators

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A personal electronic device has a feature that adjusts the sampling rate of sensors, such as barometers, intelligently. It does this by checking other hardware for conditions that could introduce noise into the measurement before acquiring the measurement from the sensor. If excessive noise is not likely, the device proceeds to acquire the measurement. If excessive noise is likely, the device delays the measurement and may recheck the other hardware before acquiring the measurement.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • Personal electronic device with intelligent sensor sampling rate adjustment
  • Checks other hardware for noise-inducing conditions before acquiring sensor measurement
  • Delays measurement if excessive noise is likely
  • May recheck other hardware before acquiring the measurement

Potential Applications

  • Smartphones and tablets
  • Wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches, fitness trackers)
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Environmental monitoring systems

Problems Solved

  • Reduces noise in sensor measurements
  • Improves accuracy of sensor data
  • Minimizes false readings caused by noise
  • Enhances overall performance of personal electronic devices

Benefits

  • More reliable and accurate sensor measurements
  • Improved user experience with personal electronic devices
  • Better data for analysis and decision-making
  • Increased efficiency and effectiveness of applications relying on sensor data


Original Abstract Submitted

A personal electronic device is provided with a feature of intelligently adjusting a sampling rate of sensors, such as barometers. Before acquiring a measurement from the sensor, the device checks other hardware for conditions that could introduce noise into the measurement. If the device does not determine that excessive noise is likely after checking the other hardware, the device proceeds to acquire the measurement from the sensor. Otherwise, the device delays the measurement. At the end of the delay, the device may check the other hardware again before acquiring the measurement from the sensor.
