Patent ID: 7203618

Claim:
A method for adjusting a determination rule of an angle sensor designed to detect a first component of a direction along a first axis and a second component of the direction along a second axis, and to determine an angle of the direction according to the determination rule based on the first and second components, the method comprising the steps of: detecting five component value pairs for five different directions, wherein a component value pair includes a first component value for the first component and a second component value for the second component; and adjusting the determination rule depending on the five component value pairs; wherein determining the angle based on the first component and the second component corresponds to an angle measurement of the angle sensor, and wherein the five component value pairs are consecutive first components and second components used for the angle measurement, so that adjusting the determination rule serves for a continuous correction or recalibration of the angle sensor, and so that the actual measurement is not interrupted.
