- Conventional electronic sensors are used in various industrial and commercial applications, for example, whereby certain transducer-type device may measure a physical condition and generate an electrical signal which represents such measured condition. Conventional sensors, however, typically generate analog signals and are not designed to interface easily to digital networks. Although more recently, electronic industry attention has increasingly turned toward coupling so-called embedded processing elements to digital networks, such recent approaches provide limited capability in processing multi-sensor systems, particularly for digital networks.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating steps in a method for implementing a multi-sensor system for real-time embedded monitoring of one or more objects under mixed-mode sensing conditions in accordance with one or more embodiments. Further, in this regard, as shown in the block diagram ofFIG. 4 , thebiometric sensing device 50 can include anetwork interface 80 and/orvarious sensors 88 for separately providing, through analog-to-digital (AID) converter circuit, to aprocessor 84 and astorage 86 of asensor array 82 disparate analog signals representing different measurable attributes regarding sensed object. - According to some embodiments, sensor subsystem integration can be achieved through a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) approach by providing most or all electronic circuits, including the
processor 84, thestorage 86, theinterface 80, thesensors 88, and/or any A/D converter circuits on a common semiconductor substrate or die, although theinterface 80 and/or thesensors 88 can be provided on separate substrates or dice. In some embodiments, it is contemplated that multiple sensors may be coupled and provide mix-mode sensed signals to a common processing circuit. - In some example embodiments, one or more sensor modules may be implemented, at least in part, for functional operation according to some embodiments described herein, using commercially available devices, such as product part numbers EDI 520 (smart sensor module), EDM 710 (sensor interface circuit), and/or RS-485 (network node) from Electronics Development Corporation (Columbia, Md.).
- According to some embodiments, one set of one or
more sensors 88 may sense and monitor one type of object condition, and another set of one ormore sensors 88 may sense and monitor another type of object condition. For example, for a given individual subject being monitored, a first sensor set may monitor person temperature at one or more bodily sources, while a second sensor set may monitor same person perspiration rate at one or more bodily sources. - In some embodiments, such multi-sensor set system can monitor related and/or possibly unrelated conditions associated with a common object or object set that is monitored during simultaneous, temporally close, or otherwise relatively proximate time periods. In accordance with some embodiments, the sensor
array processing circuitry 82 can operate to receive multi-sensor signals which indicate sensed conditions representing different sensor or sensing signal types, classes, attributes, and/or other monitorable grouping, and thus process such effectively mix-mode signals to determine whether certain monitored object(s) or individual(s) previously, currently, or is likely to, fall within certain specified condition(s), as determined by processing such mix-mode sensor signals. - Some embodiments can utilize a mix-mode approach whereby signal processing by the
processor 84 can be performed in an effectively combined and integrated manner according to one or more common rule sets, user specifications, and/or other programmed instructions, which can classify and indicate one or more monitored object conditions or sensed states logically or inferentially according to actual input sensed signal values corresponding to different modes or other physically measured groupings. - In some embodiments, to achieve improved overall system or partial subsystem integration, the
processor 82 or functionally comparable digital signal processing circuit can serve separately to receive and process multiple-type sensor signals or signal sets, whereupon such sensor signals or signal sets represent different physically sensed or otherwise electronically monitorable conditions, states, attributes, modes, or quality of sensing thereof. - For example, the
processor 84 may locally execute an instruction set in thestorage 86 to analyze, compare, correlate, and/or process received mix-mode signals according to specified rules or heuristics to indicate remotely whether subject individual may be diagnosed as having symptoms of one or more medical conditions, and therefore require dispensing of certain medicines or other goods or supplies. Such “smart sensor” processing and analysis may also be accomplished using a digital signal processor having logically or functionally equivalent programming and/or circuit configuration. - Thus, according to some embodiments, such intelligently determined conditions may be generated as findings, flags, warnings, or other indications provided as feedback in a digital packet, datagram, frame, or other capsulized format through the
interface 80 for network access, for example, to serve as input values to thesimulator module 90 for fantasy gaming applications, or thecommunication module 94 for video-conferencing applications. Optionally or additionally, theinterface 80 may provide sensor feedback data signal through thenetwork 10 according to one or more established or known network or bus interface standards, such as IEEE 1451 standard for interfacing to smart sensors. - In some embodiments, the
sensors 88 may be fixed, mobile, wirelessly-connected or wired, and separately sense temperature, pressure, physiological vital information (e.g., heart beat rate, blood pressure, etc.), and/or other biometric values. For example, one or more sensors in thearray 82 may be worn, implanted, attached, or provided by individual objects on clothing or vehicle, and/or provided in contact thereto with one or more external or internal bodily locations. - In some embodiments, it is contemplated herein that the
sensors 88 may be provided, for example, as one or more silicon-based micro-machined microstructure cavities which may be implanted for applicable modes such as neuro-electronic monitoring of cell metabolism and/or controlling of cell activity. - According to one or more embodiments, the
sensors 88 may be configured to monitor one or more voluntary and/or involuntary conditions, such as distinct sensory modes, of a subject user or other observed party, such as skin temperature, perspiration rate, or other measurable physiological conditions. In particular, thesensor array 82 can operate in an intelligent or “smart” manner, such that, for example, distributed sensors, actively or passively, synchronously or asynchronously, sense and generate sensing signals according to pre-programmed logical rules and/or other user specifications, such as determining acceptable manufacturing tolerance or safety conditions. - In some embodiments, the
sensor array 82 can function selectively or logically to screen, filter, censor, and/or exclude or enable access of representative signaling of certain sensed or otherwise observed conditions, such as during specified times, dates, or other specified temporal segments, such as control of mature-audience programming. For example, within given monitoring period, theprocessor 84 may compute or compare to determine, and accordingly indicate for network access, that received sense signals comply or violate a certain specified range, or fall within particular margins. Optionally or additionally, theprocessor 84 may selectively access one or more of thesensors 88 belonging to one or more selected modes, groupings, or other pre- or user-specified classifications, such as higher-resolution, reliability, or quality sensor groups. - Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments the present distributed sensor array architecture may provide for directed, hierarchical, self-navigating and/or organizing, adaptive, or flexibly programmable access to one or more sensors in the
