An intelligent microsensor module (10, 100, 210, 300, 355, 410) is provided
that can fuse data streams from a variety of sources and then locally determine
the current state of the environment in which the intelligent microsensor is placed.
The resultant state rather than raw data is communicated to the outside world when
the microsensor is queried. The intelligent microsensor module (10, 100, 210,
300, 355, 410) of the present invention can locally determine and execute an
action to be taken based on the determined state of the environment. The module
(10, 100, 210, 300, 355, 410) can be readily reconfigured for multiple applications.
