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 for controlling a sensor device of a security system of an object is provided. The apparatus includes an input node adapted to receive security information about a likelihood that the sensor device detects a security-related event. Further, the apparatus includes a processing circuit configured to control the sensor device to perform a sensor diagnostic procedure when the safety information indicates that the sensor device is unlikely to detect the safety-relevant event within a future time period.
