1. An apparatus for sensor-based configuration of an approach detection for a vehicle, said apparatus comprising:
means configured to determine a particular region to be monitored with the approach detection outside the vehicle as a function of at least one sensor signal of at least one sensor,
wherein the at least one sensor is a camera, infrasonic sensor, ultrasonic sensor, radar sensor, or ultra-wideband sensor,
wherein the means is configured to detect at least one object in a parked position of the vehicle and to determine an environmental situation and/or the particular region or regions to be monitored as a function of the object or the environmental situation, and
wherein the means is configured to output possible trigger regions of the approach detection by means of the determined environmental situation as a configuration option for an operator of the vehicle and/or to detect a selection of at least one trigger region and to determine the particular region outside the vehicle that is to be monitored as a function of the selection.
