Abstract

A detection system for detecting a moving object crossing a border includes a sense device and a positioning device. The sense device is disposed on a moving object and has a first position module. The first position module generates a first position signal based on the sense device. The positioning device is signally connected with the sense device and has a calculating module, a second position module, a detecting module, and a warning module. The positioning device receives the first position signal. The calculating module sets a border. The second position module generates a second position signal based on the positioning device. The detecting module determines if the sense device is out of the border based on the first position signal and the second position signal. The warning module sends out a warning signal.

Claims

1. A detection system for detecting a moving object crossing a border, comprising:

a sense device disposed on a moving object, the sense device further including a wireless transmitting module and a first position module, the first position module generating a first position signal based on a position of the sense device; and

a positioning device disposed on a carrier which transports the moving object and signally connected with the sense device, the positioning device further including a wireless receiving module, a calculating module, a second position module, a detecting module, and a warning module, the wireless receiving module signally connected with the wireless transmitting module and receiving the first position signal, the calculating module calculating an edge of the carrier to establish a distance limitation for each angle from 0 to 360 degrees around the positioning device, respectively, and based on the distance limitation for each angle around the positioning device, forming the border corresponding to the edge of the carrier , the second position module generating a second position signal based on a position of the positioning device, the detecting module determining if the sense device is outside of the border based on the first position signal and the second position signal, the warning module sending out a warning signal when the sense device is determined as being outside of the border.

2. The detection system of claim 1, wherein the detecting module calculates relative positions of the sense device and the positioning device based on the first position signal and the second position signal, so as to determine if the sense device is outside of the border.

3. The detection system of claim 2, wherein the carrier is a ship and the moving object is a person, the sense device further including an acceleration sense module, the detecting module receiving an acceleration signal generated by the acceleration sense module, and the detecting module provided with a threshold value;

when the acceleration signal exceeds the threshold value and the sense device is outside of the border, the warning module sends out the warning signal.

4. The detection system of claim 2, wherein the carrier is a vehicle, and a plurality of sense devices are provided;

when one of the sense devices is not within the border, the warning module sends out the warning signal.

5. The detection system of claim 2, wherein the positioning device is disposed at a central point of the carrier;

the first position signal and the second position signal are in a form of coordinate values, wherein the second position signal is defined as an origin of the coordinates.

6. The detection system of claim 1, wherein the wireless transmitting module is chosen from a group consisting of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LPWAN structures.
