Abstract: A method for operating a monitoring module in a monitoring system. A monitoring module is configured with means for detecting impulse signals from sensors of the monitoring module and from other monitoring modules of the monitoring system, and with one or more groups of functions. A function defines a relation between an impulse signal detected by a monitoring module and a monitoring response of the monitoring module, and each group of functions corresponds with one level of hierarchy of monitoring modules of the monitoring system. One or more impulse signals from a sensor of the monitoring module and/or from another monitoring module of the monitoring system are detected; and a prevailing set of functions in a group of functions is determined. One or more monitoring responses are then determined with the prevailing set of functions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for detecting the type of physical exercise, in which method the accelerations caused by the exercise of a person are measured by an exercise type detector (10) in three dimensions and in which characteristics describing the acceleration, so-called membership degree functions, are calculated from the measurement results, by means of which characteristics the type of exercise is detected. In the method according to the invention, only an identifier indicating the type of exercise is saved in the memory of the exercise type detector, for which reason the memory capacity required in the device is small.
