Abstract:
A method of operating a sensor system having at least one proximity sensor, with regard to generating a trigger signal indicative of an occurrence of an operator-intended event in the presence of noise. The method includes repetitive steps of: acquiring the sensor signal at specified sampling times, comparing a value obtained as a presently sampled sensor signal with a presently valid first threshold value, generating a trigger signal if the value obtained as the presently sampled sensor signal is as large as or exceeds the presently valid first threshold value, omitting to generate a trigger signal if the value obtained as the presently sampled sensor signal is less than or equal to the presently valid first threshold value, forming a subset out of the sampled sensor signals, determining an update value for the first threshold value, and replacing the presently valid first threshold value by the update value.

Claim (Index 7):
The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the step of determining an update value for the first threshold value comprises\n calculating a plurality of coefficients with respect to a suitable set of decomposition vectors for at least the formed subset out of the sampled sensor signals, determining a highest absolute value among the calculated plurality of coefficients, determining the update value for the first threshold value as the lesser of the determined highest absolute value and a predetermined lower bound value.
