ENTRY DETECTION DEVICE AND ENTRY DETECTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233209 titled 'ENTRY DETECTION DEVICE AND ENTRY DETECTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an entry detection device that uses scanning detection to detect reflected light from an object. The device includes a controller that detects the position of a monitoring target and sets exclusion and monitoring regions based on this information. It then detects the entry of an object into the monitoring region using the scanning detection results.
- Entry detection device using scanning detection of reflected light from an object
- Controller detects position of monitoring target and sets exclusion and monitoring regions
- Exclusion region excludes entry detection and has predetermined width
- Monitoring region has predetermined width and is set outside the exclusion region
- Entry of object into monitoring region is detected using scanning detection results
Original Abstract Submitted
An entry detection device includes: a scanning detection part configured to detect reflected light, of projection light, from an object while performing scanning with the projection light; and a controller. The controller detects a position of a monitoring target on the basis of a detection result of the scanning detection part, sets an exclusion region which has a predetermined width and in which entry detection is excluded, outside the position of the monitoring target, sets a monitoring region which has a predetermined width outside the exclusion region, and detects entry of the object into the monitoring region on the basis of the detection result of the scanning detection part.
