1. A moving object detection device comprising:
- an ultrasonic sensor configured to receive a plurality of reflected signals per period; and
a detector configured to;
divide a sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor into a plurality of regions;
when an intensity of a reflected signal of the plurality of reflected signals exceeds a predetermined threshold in a region of the plurality of regions, detect the region of the plurality of regions as a region of interest (ROI); and
when a ROI of a first reflected signal of the plurality of reflected signals does not correspond to a ROI of any subsequent reflected signals of the plurality of reflected signals, determine an object in the ROI of the first reflected signal as a moving object.

Abstract
A moving object detection device using an ultrasonic sensor, a method thereof, and a warning system using the same is provided. The moving object detection device includes: an ultrasonic sensor configured to receive a plurality of reflected signals per period; and a detector configured to divide a sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor into a plurality of regions, detect a region of the plurality of regions as a region of interest (ROI) when an intensity of a reflected signal of the plurality of reflected signals exceeds a predetermined threshold in a region of the plurality of regions, and detect a moving object based on changes in the ROI.

5. A method for detecting a moving object using an ultrasonic sensor, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with the ultrasonic sensor, a plurality of reflected signals per period; dividing, with a detector, a sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor into a plurality of regions; when an intensity of a reflected signal of the plurality of reflected signals exceeds a predetermined threshold in a region of the plurality of regions, detecting, with the detector, the region of the plurality of regions as a region of interest (ROI); and determining, with the detector, an object in a ROI of a first reflected signal as a moving object when a ROI of the first reflected signal of the plurality of reflecting signals does not correspond to a ROI of any subsequent reflected signals of the plurality of reflected signals. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
