DANGER IDENTIFICATION USING A TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICE INTEGRATED INTO A MICROCONTROLLER

摘要

The invention relates to a danger detector (100) comprising a measuring device (110, 115) for detecting a physical measuring variable and for emitting a measurement signal that are indicative for a predetermined dangerous situation, a microcontroller (120), that is downstream from the measuring device (110, 115) and which is designed to evaluate the measurement signal, and a temperature measuring device (125) for detecting a temperature and for emitting a temperature measurement signal that is indicative for the detected temperature. Said temperature measuring device (125) is integrated into the microcontroller (120) and the microcontroller (120) is designed in such a manner that the temperature measuring signal is taken into account when the measurement signal is evaluated. Preferably, the measuring device is an optical measuring device comprising a light transmitter (110) and a light receiver (115). The invention also relates to a corresponding method for recognising a dangerous situation. The invention further relates to a computer-readable storage medium and a program-element that contains instructions for carrying out the inventive method for recognising a dangerous situation.
