发明名称 Long lifespan wireless sensors and sensor network
摘要 Methods, systems, and apparatuses for managing sensor information are disclosed. An example apparatus can comprise a power unit configured to collect energy, a sensor unit configured to receive sensor data from a sensor, a memory unit configured to store the sensor data, a communication unit configured to wirelessly broadcast the sensor data to one or more sensor nodes in a network of sensor nodes, and a processing unit. The processing unit can be configured to operate at least one of the sensor unit, the memory unit, and the communication unit after the energy collected in the power unit reaches a threshold value.

主权项 1. An apparatus, comprising: a power unit configured to collect energy in a capacitor, wherein the power unit is configured to charge the capacitor at least until a threshold value is reached, and wherein the power unit is configured to discharge the energy from the capacitor after the energy decreases to a minimum energy threshold; a sensor unit configured to receive sensor data from a sensor; a memory unit configured to store the sensor data in non-volatile memory; a communication unit configured to wirelessly broadcast the sensor data to one or more sensor nodes in a network of sensor nodes; and a processing unit configured to operate at least one of the sensor unit, the memory unit, and the communication unit after the energy collected in the power unit reaches the threshold value.
