<p>In a method for identifying an odour and/or gas, an odour and/or gas is measured with a portable electronic device comprising a chemical sensor (12), the chemical sensor (12) being sensitive to different analytes. A measurement tuple (mt) is supplied which measurement tuple (mt) comprises a set of tuple elements with each tuple element (mtx) of the set of tuple elements (mtx) providing a value measured by a dedicated cell of the chemical sensor and/or under a dedicated operating condition of the chemical sensor or of a cell of the chemical sensor. The measurement tuple (mt) is compared to one or more reference tuples (rt) with each reference tuple (rt) representing an odour and/or gas and comprising a set of tuple elements and an identifier (id) for the odour and/or gas represented by the reference tuple (rt). Each tuple element of the set of tuple elements of the reference tuple (rt) provides a value characteristic for being sensed by the dedicated cell of the chemical sensor and/or under the dedicated operating condition of the chemical sensor or of the cell of the chemical sensor in the presence of the odour and/or gas represented by the concerned reference tuple (rt). One or more odour and/or gas identifiers (id) are returned to the portable electronic device subject to a result of the comparison.</p> |
