Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which certain embodiments of the invention are shown. However, this invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided by way of example so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete , and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Throughout the description, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

[0026] The embodiments presented herein are based on the recognition that a state transition with respect to a sensor device can be achieved using a proximity sensor of the sensor device. By providing a predetermined change in the proximity of the proximity sensor, eg for assuming a configuration state, a convenient, power efficient and user friendly way for controlling state transition...

Abstract

It is provided a sensor device comprising: a proximity sensor (10); a processor (11); a wireless communication module (13); and a memory (14). When the sensor device is in a first functional state (20, 20a, 20b) and the proximity sensor detects a predetermined change in its proximity, the sensor device is configured to transition from the first functional state, in which wireless communication isinactivated, to a second functional state (21), in which wireless communication module is enabled. The predetermined change in its proximity is a removal of transport protection, comprising removal ofa metallic tape over the proximity sensor, whereby the proximity sensor is capable to detect the removal of the metallic tape based on inductive sensing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sensor device, a method for switching a sensor device between functional states based on a change in proximity, a computer program and a computer program product. Background technique [0002] A sensor device is a self-contained device that includes one or more sensors, processor, memory, power, and wireless communication functionality. These sensor devices have recently been greatly reduced in size and are gaining in popularity for a variety of different uses. For example, a sensor device may use included proximity sensors to detect whether a barrier such as a door or window is open or closed. [0003] Once the sensor device has been manufactured, it is in a transport state in which all or almost all components are switched off. In this way, the sensor device can remain in the transport state and remain powered until the sensor device is installed. Upon installation, the sensor device needs to be transitioned from its shi...
