Patent number: 11657120Abstract: A method and an apparatus for determining at least one smoothed data point (tk, sk) within a stream of data points {ti, si} with 1?i?z, k<z is disclosed. Herein, the stream of data points {ti, si} is consecutively acquired in a manner that a data point (ti, si) is acquired after an acquisition of a preceding data point (ti?1, si?1), wherein each data point (ti, si) comprises a valid value or an invalid value or a missing value for the signal si at a time ti. Herein, the signal si at the time ti comprises physical, chemical, biological, environmental, and/or technical data acquired by means of a technical set-up. According to the method, a set of data points is provided, wherein for each smoothed data point (tk, sk) a smoothing set is created. For each smoothed data point (tk, sk), trailing data resulting from large gaps are removed until it is verified whether the smoothing set comprises a minimal number of data points.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: EyeSense AGInventors: Frank Küster, Roland Krivànek, Achim Müller
