Target heating method and system within a designated space
First Claim
1. A heating system comprising:
- a sensing and tracking module to sense a length in at least one dimension of an object to-be-heated in a previously determined area;
a light source module having at least one light source that changes its lighting direction and changes its beam angle along the at least one dimension;
a temperature sensing module for sensing temperature of the object to-be-heated and reducing an output power or stop operation of the light source module once the object to-be-heated reaches a previously determined temperature, wherein the temperature sensing module includes at least one movable temperature detecting device with adjustable temperature detection direction and is responsible for stopping or reducing the output power of the light source module once the object to-be-heated reaches a previously determined temperature; and
a control module for regulating light emitted by the light source module onto the to-be heated object along the at least one dimension to match with the length of the to-be-heated object based on the length sensed by the sensing and tracking module.

Abstract
A heating system includes a sensing and tracking module to sense length in at least one dimension of an object to-be-heated in a previously determined area. A light source module has at least one light source that can change its lighting direction and can also change its beam angle e along the at least one dimension. A control module is provided for regulating light emitted by the light source module onto the to-be heated object along the at least one dimension to match with the length of the to-be-heated object based on the length sensed by the sensing and tracking module. The heating system described above and a bed incorporated having this kind of heating system may automatically adjust its output power according to the physical characteristics of the object to-be-heated to avoid heating unrelated object, area or space so as to ensure high energy efficiency.
