Sensoranordnung zur Bestimmung des Zustands einer Person auf einem Untergrund

The sensor arrangement (100) has electrodes (101a-101l,102a-102l) that are designed such that a signal is produced or changed during approximation of a person to the electrode. The signal strength is in dependence on spacing of skin surface of the person to the electrode. A signal processing device (103) is provided for comparing signal strength with a predetermined threshold level and to determine the state of the person from the signals of electrodes or sequence of signals of adjacent electrodes, if the signal strength lies above threshold level. An independent claim is included for method for determining state of person.
