Abstract
A motion detection device for motion controlled switching of a peripheral device having a switching characteristic is suggested. The motion detection device comprises a motion detector for providing detection signals in response to detected motions and a memory for storing durations between the detection signals. The motion detection device further comprises a signal generator for outputting a switching signal to the peripheral device for switching the peripheral device from a first operation mode to a second operation mode for a activation period. A controller is further included for controlling the signal generator. Therein, the controller is configured to determine the activation period based on at least a selection of the durations between the detection signals stored in the memory and the switching characteristic of the peripheral device.
