Status detecting device to be attached to a living being

摘要

A status detecting device is described for being attached to a living being, in particular a person, to detect the position of the body of the living being, having a first sensor, configured as an acceleration sensor and/or a gyroscopic sensor. An additional, second sensor, configured as a height measuring sensor, is also provided. Also described is a corresponding method.

1. A status detecting device, which is for attaching to a living being, including a person, comprising:
a detecting arrangement to detect a relative change in position of the body of the living being, wherein the detecting arrangement includes an at least one first sensor and an at least one additional second sensor, which includes a height measuring sensor; and an evaluation arrangement to receive, upon detection of the relative change in position of the body of the living being, at least (i) a signal indicating a detected relative change in position and (ii) data from the height measuring sensor, and to perform a plausibility check by comparing the detected relative change in position with the data from the height measuring sensor; wherein the relative change in position of the body is detected by the at least one first sensor if the position of the body changes from a first state to a second state.
