Device and method for controlling a sensor component of a safety system of an object, control system for an automotive vehicle and sensor component for a safety system of an automotive vehicle

摘要

An apparatus (100) for controlling a sensor device (130) of a security system of an object, comprising: an input node (110) configured to receive security information (101) about a likelihood that the sensor device (130) detects a security-related event ; and a processing circuit (120) configured to control the sensor device (130) to perform a sensor diagnostic procedure when the safety information (101) indicates that the sensor device (130) is unlikely to be the safety-relevant event within a future time period detected.
