Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
238 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing comprising: (a) a sensor circuit, including an infrared ray sensor, producing an output having positive and negative peaks based on outputs of said sensor being produced when a target to be sensed passes within the region of vision monitored by said sensor; (b) a level detecting circuit comprising a first detector producing an output when the positive peak of the output fed from said sensor circuit exceeds a predetermined level, and a second detector producing an output when the negative peak of the output fed from said sensor circuit exceeds a predetermined level; (c) a timer circuit comprising a first timer producing an output which continues for at least a predetermined time interval from a time at which the output of said first detector is produced, and a second timer producing an output which continues for at least a predetermined time from a time at which the output of said second detector is produced; (d) and AND circuit comprising a first circuit producing an output when there exist the output of said first timer and the output of said second detector at the same time, and a second circuit producing an output when there exist the output of said second timer and the output of said first detector at the same time; and (e) an output circuit responsive to the output of said AND circuit to produce an alarm signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
238 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing comprising: (a) a sensor circuit, including an infrared ray sensor, producing an output having positive and negative peaks based on outputs of said sensor being produced when a target to be sensed passes within the region of vision monitored by said sensor; (b) a level detecting circuit comprising a first detector producing an output when the positive peak of the output fed from said sensor circuit exceeds a predetermined level, and a second detector producing an output when the negative peak of the output fed from said sensor circuit exceeds a predetermined level; (c) a timer circuit comprising a first timer producing an output which continues for at least a predetermined time interval from a time at which the output of said first detector is produced, and a second timer producing an output which continues for at least a predetermined time from a time at which the output of said second detector is produced; (d) and AND circuit comprising a first circuit producing an output when there exist the output of said first timer and the output of said second detector at the same time, and a second circuit producing an output when there exist the output of said second timer and the output of said first detector at the same time; and (e) an output circuit responsive to the output of said AND circuit to produce an alarm signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 1, wherein said sensor circuit includes a low pass filter for permitting solely low frequency components included in the output of said infrared ray sensor to pass therethrough.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 2, wherein said low pass filter permits signals whose frequency region ranges from 0 to 20 Hz to pass therethrough.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 1, wherein said output circuit becomes operative in a predetermined time interval from a time at which the device is powered.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 1, wherein said output circuit includes a display circuit for indicating visually the occurrence of an alarm signal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 1, wherein said output circuit further includes an alarm memory circuit for memorizing that the alarm signal has been output, and a reset circuit for resetting the memory of said alarm memory circuit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 6, wherein said reset circuit includes a circuit producing a reset output in response to energization of said alarm device.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
An alarm device responsive to entering or trespassing according to claim 6, wherein said reset circuit includes circuit for manually producing a reset output.
