Abstract

A method for customizing a mounted sensing device including a first set of similar or identical sensors having different location and/or orientation, each sensor configured to measure at least one first parameter relating to a wearer of the mounted sensing device, the method including: a sensor selecting during which at least one of the sensors is selected to be used to measure the at least one first parameter, wherein the at least one selected sensor is selected among the first set of similar or identical sensors based on wearer data indicative of morphology of the wearer, and based on their respective location and/or orientation such that the selected at least one sensor is a most appropriate for the wearer and/or for measuring the at least one first parameter.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for customizing a mounted sensing device, the method comprising:
providing a mounted sensing device including a first set of similar or identical sensors having different locations and/or orientations, each sensor configured to measure at least one first parameter relating to a wearer of the mounted sensing device;
selecting at least one of the sensors to measure the at least one first parameter; and
determining a distribution of measurement frequencies implemented by each sensor of the plurality of selected sensors based at least on the at least one parameter intended to be measured;
wherein the selecting is based on wearer data indicative of morphology of the wearer, and based on respective locations and/or orientations of the sensors such that the at least one sensor that is selected is most appropriate for the wearer and for measuring the at least one first parameter,
wherein the wearer data comprises at least morphology data relating to morphology of contact areas of the wearer, or contact areas of the wearer's head or the wearer's wrist, and the mounted sensing device,
wherein the mounted sensing device further comprises a second set of similar sensors having different location and/or orientation and configured to measure at least one second parameter relating to the wearer of the mounted sensing device, the second parameter being different than the first parameter, and during the selecting at least one sensor from the second set of sensors is selected so that location and/or orientation of the selected at least sensor is a most appropriate of the second set of sensors for the wearer and/or for measuring the at least one second parameter, and
wherein during the selecting the at least one sensor is selected by measuring the at least one parameter with each of the plurality of sensors and by selecting the sensors providing most accurate measure.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mounted sensing device is a head mounted device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mounted sensing device is a wrist mounted device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein during the selecting the at least one selected sensor is selected based on application data indicative of application of the measured parameter.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein during the selecting the at least one sensor is selected based on position data indicative to the position of the mounted sensing device relative to the wearer, or the head of the wearer.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sensors comprise sensors, or eye tracking sensors, configured to measure a gazing direction of the wearer and/or an eyelid beat of the wearer and/or a pupil dilation of the wearer.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sensors comprise sensors, or capacitive sensors, configured to measure contact area or a distance between the mounted sensing device and the wearer, or the wearer's head.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sensors comprise sensors, or resistive sensors, configured to measure biological and/or physiological parameters of the wearer.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program product comprising one or more stored sequences of instructions that are accessible to a processor and which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to carry out the method according to claim 1 .

10. A mounted sensing device comprising:
a plurality of similar or identical sensors having different locations and/or orientations, each of the sensors configured to measure at least one parameter relating to a wearer of the mounted sensing device;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9 ; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by at least one processor to select at least one of the sensors having a location and/or orientation most appropriate out of the sensors for the wearer and for measuring the at least one parameter based on wearer data indicative of morphology of the wearer,
wherein during the selecting of at least one of the sensor, a distribution of measurement frequencies implemented by each sensor is determined based at least on the at least one parameter intended to be measured, and
wherein the wearer data comprises at least morphology data relating to morphology of contact areas of the wearer, contact areas of the wearer's head or the wearer's wrist, and the mounted sensing device.

11. The mounted sensing device according to claim 10 , further comprising a communication unit configured to receive an application data indicative of application of the measured parameter,
wherein the processor is further configured to select a most appropriate sensor based on the application data,
wherein the communication unit communicates with one or more other communication units by way of a communication network, and
wherein the communication network is based on Internet, including Web servers, file servers, and media servers.

12. The mounted sensing device according to claim 10 , wherein the mounted sensing device is a head mounted device.

13. The mounted sensing device according to claim 10 , wherein the mounted sensing device is a wrist mounted device.

14. The mounted sensing device according to claim 11 , wherein the devices communicate via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).
