A sensor for detecting a specific object (such as a hand) excellent in operation reliability and response, further excellent in mountability (dominance such as in size and design) on a vehicle, and much less in power consumption than conventional impulse radars. The object sensor comprises detecting wave transmitting means and reflected wave receiving means of an impulse radar and a judging circuit part () for turning on the detection output when the amplitude level of a signal component, in a frequency range corresponding to the moving speed range of a specific object, of a signal received by the reflected wave receiving means lies in a predetermined range corresponding to the reflection characteristics of the specific object.

Wrongful authentication process is prevented. A passive entry authenticating section compares an identification signal sent from a portable unit with an identification signal previously stored in a storage section. A biometrics authenticating section compares the biometrics information of a user inputted through a sensor section with the biometrics information registered in a biometrics database. A control section authenticates an authorized user when there is agreement in both the identification-signal comparison result and the biometrics-information comparison result, and controls a lock system to unlock the door lock of the automobile.

Remote controller for car burglar alarm

The objective of the present invention is to provide proximity sensors employing impulse waves to detect the characteristics of objects lying inside the object of surveillance, such as a container, including their distance, the reflection strength from an object, the speed an object is moving, etc., as well as to provide a status surveillance system which detects, from the data from the proximity sensors, that the inside of the container remains unchanged. To achieve the foregoing objectives, the present invention adds proximity sensor functions to wireless communication nodes inside of the object of surveillance, such as inside of a container. Said proximity sensors output microimpulse waves from the wireless communication nodes, and said communication nodes receive the reflections of those waves from nearby objects. The wave reception sampling is performed based upon the bit signals of the clock for the microimpulse transmissions and the local clock, and the analysis of the received signals enables the highly precise measurement of the distance to an object using simple circuitry. It is then possible to detect an abnormal occurrence inside the object of surveillance by comparing the characteristic data obtained from the initial environment with that data obtained during the period of surveillance. Further, the proximity sensing function is able to detect the direction of any penetration.

The objective of the present invention is to detect, using a universal method, any 'movement' inside of the object being monitored, while maintaining the security of a container. The movement inside of the object to be monitored includes 1) a human movement when a human enters into a container to be monitored, 2) a movement to bring a foreign article in, 3) a movement to take cargo out. To achieve the objective, this invention uses the concept of a so-called 'inside-seal'. In actual configuration, a plurality of communication units (communication nodes) are installed on the walls of the container. These communication units have a predetermined powered communication capability and form a communication network communicating with each other. A communication status between each node and all of the other nodes provided in the network, and a network graph matrix is generated which defines the nodal relationship between the nodes. Since the matrix is determined not only by the property of the object to be monitored, but also by the spatial condition within the container, it is possible to detect even a small change in the space. According to the first preferred embodiment, each node transmits a low power electric wave which can reach only neighboring nodes, and each node can transmit data to remote nodes only by relaying the data to the neighboring nodes. The relaying counts (HOP counts) of each node to communicate with all of the other nodes are obtained, and based on these relaying counts, a network graph matrix is generated which defines the relaying counts to communicate between all nodes. According to the second preferred embodiment, each node transmits UWB waves to all of the other nodes, which can reach to all of the other nodes, and the distances between all the nodes are measured and a network graph matrix between all the nodes is generated.
