Abstract
An intelligent sensor device and a method for controlling an intelligent sensor device are provided. In one example, the sensor device includes a memory; a radio frequency communicator configured to receive signals from and transmit signals to an external device having an external application; a radio frequency controller configured to control the radio frequency communicator; a processor; a process controller configured to instruct the processor to load one or more scripts into the memory; one or more sensors; and a sensor driver controller configured to activate one or more appropriate sensors based on a request received from the external application, wherein the process controller is further configured to instruct the processor to execute an appropriate script based on the request received from the external application.
