SENSOR NODE INCLUDING A GENERAL-PURPOSE INTERFACE PORT WITH A PLUG AND PLAY, SENSOR BOARD INCLUDING A GENERAL-PURPOSE INTERFACE PORT WITH A SENSOR DEVICE DRIVER, GENERAL-PURPOSE INTERFACE PORT AND EACH METHOD THEREOF CAPABLE OF REDUCING THE DISADVANTAGE IN WHICH AN ADDITIONAL COST AND AN ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING TIME ARE CONSUMED

摘要

PURPOSE: A sensor node including a general-purpose interface port with a plug and play, sensor board including a general-purpose interface port with a sensor device driver, general-purpose interface port and each method thereof are provided to enable a control unit to automatically recognize and control a sensor unit through a universal interface port.;CONSTITUTION: A universal interface port(240) offers an interface with a sensor board. The universal interface port downloads a sensor device driver from a connected sensor board. A controller(210) controls the sensor board by using the downloaded sensor device driver. The controller processes sensing data which is generated by a senor included in the sensor board. The universal interface port download a sensor device driver which is related with at least one among SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface), I2C(Inter-Integrated Circuit), ADC(Analog to Digital Converter), Interrupt, and frequency.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
