Abstract
A system and method are provided for detecting motion and calculating distance to a moving object by a sensor device. The sensor device includes: a transducer device configured to transmit a first signal and receive a second signal, wherein the second signal comprises a reflection from a moving object; a motion processing unit configured to receive and process data corresponding to the second signal, and, based on the processing corresponding to the second signal, the transducer device is configured to transmit a third signal and receive a reflected fourth signal; and the distance processing unit is configured to process the data corresponding to the fourth signal to determine a distance between the sensor device and the moving object, wherein the distance processing unit is turned off when the motion processing unit is processing data and vice versa.
