Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the position of window handles or door handles, the apparatus including a magnetic-field sensor and a microcontroller unit, the microcontroller unit being designed to read out data from the magnetic-field sensor, to record a magnetic fingerprint for at least one window-handle/door-handle position, and to detect the at least one window-handle/door-handle position by comparing data of the magnetic-field sensor with the recorded magnetic fingerprint. An operating method for such a window handle or door handle is also described.

Abstract: A method for operating a sensor device for detecting an object. including measuring a magnetic field using a magnetic field sensor to ascertain a measured value, the sensor unit being deactivated during the measurement, computing a first distance of the measured value from a first reference measured value that corresponds to a magnetic field when a measuring range is free of an object, computing a second distance of the measured value from a second reference measured value that corresponds to a magnetic field when an object is situated in the measuring range, activating the deactivated sensor unit as a function of the computed distances, carrying out a propagation time measurement using the activated sensor unit to ascertain sensor data that correspond to the propagation time measurement, and ascertaining, based on the sensor data, whether an object is situated in the surroundings of the sensor device.

Abstract: A device for theft recognition, having a processing unit, a communication unit that is at least set up to send out a first signal, and a first motion sensor realized as an acceleration sensor. The device further includes at least one second motion sensor. In addition, the processing unit is set up to acquire a respective first value at a first time, and to acquire a respective second value at a second time, from each motion sensor, to determine in each case a change between the first value and the second value of each motion sensor, and, after a change that exceeds a threshold value for the respective motion sensor, to control the communication unit in such a way that this unit sends out the first signal. In addition, a method for theft recognition using the device is also described.
