WATER AREA MONITORING DEVICE, WATER AREA MONITORING SYSTEM, WATER AREA MONITORING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18025268 Titled 'WATER AREA MONITORING DEVICE, WATER AREA MONITORING SYSTEM, WATER AREA MONITORING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a water area monitoring device that uses optical fibers to detect and monitor sound data in a wide area over a long period of time. The device includes a detection unit that analyzes the acquired sound data to identify water area intrusion or other behaviors in the target water area. It also detects changes in sounds or vibrations that are not related to water area intrusion. The device has an output unit that provides information about the detected sound, such as water area intrusion.


Original Abstract Submitted

In order to facilitate fixed-point monitoring over a wide area and for a long time, this water area monitoring device comprises: a detection unit for information, such as water area intrusion, which detects, from sound data that is acquired by means of optical fibers installed in the water or the water bottom and is data pertaining to a sound or a vibration at the respective positions of the optical fibers, at least any one among sounds of water area intrusion or the like that indicate intrusion into a target water area or water area intrusion or the like, which is a prescribed behavior in the target water area, at a time at which sound data is acquired, and changes in sounds or vibrations not caused by the water area intrusion or the like; and an output unit which outputs information indicating the sound such as water area intrusion.
