Claim Text:
1. A method for measuring a capacitance, which comprises the steps of: during a first measuring phase, detecting a first measured quantity of the capacitance via a first measuring method, the first measuring method includes performing one of the further steps for detecting the first measured quantity: starting a second measuring phase when the first measured quantity satisfies a transition criterion; and during the second measuring phase, detecting a second measured quantity of the capacitance to be measured via a second measuring method being different from the first measuring method, the second measuring method having a higher level of measuring accuracy compared to the first measuring method, and the first measuring method having a lower expenditure of energy compared to the second measuring method, the second measuring method includes performing one of the further steps of:
