METHOD FOR SETTING UP A SENSOR SYSTEM

摘要

A method is disclosed for setting up a sensor system (100), comprising an optical image sensor(102), a processing unit (110) and a communication unit (114). The method comprises: preventing the communication unit (114) from communicating with an external unit before set-up of the sensor system (100); acquiring (304) an image by means of the optical image sensor (102), said image comprising information which is machine-readable and which comprises set-up instructions; extracting (308) said information from the acquired image by means of the processing unit (110); identifying (314) that the extracted information corresponds to set-up instructions;triggering (406) the communication unit (114) to identify an external unit (120) in a computer network; and establishing a secure communication channel between the communication unit (114) and said external unit (120) using the set-up instructions extracted from the acquired image.
