Configuration unit and method for configuring a presence detection sensor

摘要

A configuration unit (1) and a method for configuring a sensor (2) comprising a transmitter (4) and a plurality of receivers (6) are provided. The configuration unit is operatively connected to the transmitter and the plurality of receivers, and is adapted to estimate the location of a static element (8) based on a probing signal (5) transmitted by the transmitter and based on a return signal (7) received by the plurality of receivers. The return signal is generated by reflection of the probing signal against the static element. Moreover, the configuration unit is adapted to configure the sensor, for presence detection of a target (9), based on the estimated location of the static element.

1. A configuration unit for configuring a sensor comprising at least one transmitter and a plurality of receivers, said configuration unit being operatively connected to said at least one transmitter and said plurality of receivers and being adapted to:
estimate the location of at least one static element based on at least one probing signal transmitted by said at least one transmitter and based on at least one return signal received by said plurality of receivers, wherein said at least one return signal is generated by reflection of said at least one probing signal against said at least one static element; and configure said sensor, for presence detection of a target, based on the estimated location of said at least one static element, wherein based on the estimate location of the at least one static element, the configuration unit is adapted to configure the sensor such that the direction of the probing signal is adjusted to cover a first region or a second region such that advantageous probing directions are selected.
