发明名称 AUTOMATICALLY UPDATING HARD IRON AND SOFT IRON COEFFICIENTS OF A MAGNETIC SENSOR
摘要 Apparatuses, methods and systems apparatus for automatically updating hard iron and soft iron coefficients of a magnetic sensor of a device are disclosed. One method includes making measurements of a magnetic field by the magnetic sensor during rotations of the device, determining by at least a criterion whether to input the measurements of the magnetic field into a coefficient estimator, calculating, by the coefficient estimator, new hard iron and soft iron coefficients upon receiving the measurements of the magnetic field, determining a quality of the newly calculated hard iron and soft iron calculated coefficients, and updating existing hard iron and soft iron coefficients to the newly calculated hard iron and soft iron coefficients only if the quality of the newly calculated hard iron and soft iron coefficients.

主权项 1. A method of automatically updating hard iron and soft iron coefficients of a magnetic sensor of a device, comprising: making measurements of a magnetic field by the magnetic sensor during rotations of the device; determining by at least a criterion whether to input the measurements of the magnetic field into a coefficient estimator; calculating, by the coefficient estimator, new hard iron and soft iron coefficients upon receiving the measurements of the magnetic field; determining a quality of the newly calculated hard iron and soft iron calculated coefficients; and updating existing hard iron and soft iron coefficients to the newly calculated hard iron and soft iron coefficients only if the quality of the newly calculated hard iron and soft iron coefficients is better than a quality of the existing hard iron and soft iron coefficients.
