DETECTION DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND DETECTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18163020 titled 'DETECTION DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND DETECTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a detection device that adjusts its sensitivity based on the distance of the measurement target from the sensor.
- Sound wave sensor detects distance to measurement target
- Processor changes sensitivity based on detection range
- Second detection sensitivity is lower than first sensitivity
- Second detection range is outward of first range
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various industries such as automotive for parking assistance systems, security systems for intruder detection, and industrial applications for object detection.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of having a fixed detection sensitivity regardless of the distance of the measurement target, leading to more accurate and efficient detection.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in detecting objects at different distances - Energy efficiency by adjusting sensitivity levels - Enhanced performance in various applications
Potential Commercial Applications
"Adjustable Sensitivity Detection Device for Various Industries"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing technologies in the market that offer adjustable sensitivity sensors for different applications, but the specific implementation described in this patent application may be unique.
Unanswered Questions
How does the processor determine the appropriate sensitivity level for the second detection range?
The patent application does not provide details on the specific algorithm or method used by the processor to adjust the sensitivity level for the second detection range.
Are there any limitations to the distance range in which the sensor can accurately detect the measurement target?
The patent application does not mention any constraints or limitations on the distance range within which the sensor can effectively detect the measurement target.
Original Abstract Submitted
A detection device includes: a sound wave sensor that detects a distance to a measurement target; and a processor configured to: in response to the measurement target being detected in a first detection range that is part of a detection range in which the distance to the measurement target is detectable by the sound wave sensor, change setting to cause a detection sensitivity for a second detection range in the detection range of the sound wave sensor to be a second detection sensitivity lower than a first detection sensitivity set before the setting is changed, the second detection range being outward of the first detection range when viewed from the detection device.
