Abstract

Claims (17)

1. A method for communicating information from a wearable sensor configuration comprising a sensor unit, a first electronic arrangement, and a second electronic arrangement, wherein the wearable sensor configuration is arranged to operate in a communications system, the method comprising:

detecting signals generated by muscle activity of a user of the communications system;

determining Internal Digital Information on the basis of the detected signals by means of a first mapping function in the first electronic arrangement, wherein the Internal Digital Information comprises a set of number pairs, each number pair comprising a first number representing a certain muscle signal change, the signal change comprising one of “on” or “off”, and a second number representing a timestamp relating to said detected muscle signal change;

wherein when the first number representing the certain muscle signal change equals 1 and the second number representing the timestamp relating to said detected muscle signal change equals 103 ms, the number pair represents the start of a dot in Morse code,

when the first number representing the certain muscle signal change equals 0 and the second number representing the timestamp relating to said detected muscle signal change has a value, the number pair represents the start of a gap within a character in Morse code,

when the first number representing the certain muscle signal change equals 1 and the second number representing the timestamp relating to said detected muscle signal change equals 291 ms, the number pair represents the start of a dash in Morse code, and

wherein a duration of the dot in Morse code equals 95 ms, 96 ms, 102 ms, or 103 ms, and a duration of the dash in Morse code equals 294 ms, 296 ms, or 327 ms;

communicating the Internal Digital Information to a second electronic device from the wearable sensor configuration, wherein the second electronic arrangement converts the Internal Digital Information to Intermediate Information in Morse code;

determining Textual Information based on the Intermediate Information, which is based on the Internal Digital Information by means of a second mapping function in the second electronic arrangement.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

determining the Intermediate Information based on the Internal Digital Information; and

determining the Textual Information based on the Internal Digital Information by means of the second mapping function.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

setting-up the first mapping function by predetermined rules and/or by choice of a user; and/or

setting-up the second mapping function by predetermined rules and/or by choice of a user.

4. A computer program product consisting of a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the steps of the method according to claim 1 .

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the steps of the method according to claim 1 .
