Abstract

An object sensing device is configured to sense an object therearound using an ultrasonic sensor. The object sensing device comprises: a distance judgment portion that performs a judgement of a distance to the object therearound in accordance with received ultrasonic waves that are based on transmitted ultrasonic waves by the ultrasonic sensor; and a notification control portion that performs a predetermined notification operation in accordance with the received ultrasonic waves that are based on the transmitted ultrasonic waves. The notification control portion performs the predetermined notification operation when the distance judgement portion has continuously judged that the object is within a predetermined close range. The notification control portion fails to perform the predetermined notification operation when a judgement history of the distance to the object by the distance judgement portion indicates an abnormal appearance of the object within the predetermined close range.
