Patent ID: 8874323

Claim:
A device for generating a control signal for controlling a passenger protection arrangement of a motor vehicle or for controlling game consoles, comprising: a first acceleration sensor for generating a first acceleration signal; a second acceleration sensor for generating a second acceleration signal; a first structure-borne noise sensor for generating a first structure-borne noise signal; a second structure-borne noise sensor for generating a second structure-borne noise signal; an evaluation circuit, wherein the evaluation circuit is configured for generating a combination signal from the first structure-borne noise signal and the second structure-borne noise signal, wherein the evaluation circuit is configured for generating the control signal as a function of the first acceleration signal, the second acceleration signal and the combination signal, and wherein the evaluation circuit is an ASIC having an integrated microcontroller or microprocessor; and wherein the generation of the combination signal includes a linear addition of the first structure-borne noise signal and the second structure-borne noise signal or the generation of the combination signal includes a vector addition of the first structure-borne noise signal and the second structure-borne noise signal.
