Method and apparatus for providing an indication of movement, particularly for recognition of blocking in a locking system

摘要

The invention relates to a method for providing an indication of movement from a sensor signal from a position transmitter (9), wherein the indication of movement indicates a speed of movement, wherein the sensor signal from the position transmitter (9) generates an edge following a movement via a particular path range having the following steps:—a pulse duration (dT) is ascertained (S1) as the interval of time between the last two provided edges of the sensor signal;—depending on whether a period which corresponds to the pulse duration (dT) has elapsed since the last provided edge of the sensor signal, an indication which is dependent on the pulse duration (dT) or an indication which is dependent on the period since the last edge of the sensor signal is provided (S4, S6) as an indication of movement.

1. A method for providing an indication of movement from a sensor signal of a position transmitter (9), the indication of movement indicating a speed, the sensor signal from the position transmitter (9) comprising a plurality of edges, the plurality of edges being alternating rising edges and falling edges, each rising or falling edge of the plurality of edges being generated by the sensor following a movement over a particular travel range, the method comprising:
determining (S1) a pulse duration (dT) as an interval of time between a most recent two edges of the plurality of edges of the sensor signal; providing (S4, S6) the indication, when a time period corresponding to the pulse duration (dT) has elapsed since the most recent edge of the sensor signal; wherein the indication is provided faster than an interval of time that would elapse between edges of the sensor signal at a predefined maximum speed.
