Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor device and an operating method thereof are provided. The sensor device includes a microcontroller and a sensor module. The microcontroller performs the operating method. Firstly, the sensor device enters a configuration mode after being activated. The sensor device enters a detection mode after a timeout period. The sensor device is on standby for detecting if any event occurs under the detection mode. When any event is detected, a trigger signal is generated, and the sensor device enters a broadcast mode to broadcast the trigger signal. After another timeout period, the sensor device enters the detection mode again, and is on standby for detecting if the event is restored to a default state. When the event is restored to the default state, the sensor device is reset for detecting if the event occurs.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An operating method of a sensor device, comprising: entering the sensor device into a configuration mode after the sensor device is activated; entering the sensor device into a detection mode after a timeout period, wherein the sensor device is on standby for detecting whether or not an event occurs while in the detection mode; forming a trigger signal when the sensor device detects the event while in the detection mode, and entering the sensor device…
