Device and method for detecting an object or a person in the passenger compartment of a vehicle
First Claim
1. Device for detecting an object or a person (6) in the passenger compartment of a vehicle with a laser (10) for emitting laser light pulses and an optical receiver (18, 19) or sensor for receiving laser light pulses reflected off the object or the person (6), characterized by a detection unit (16) connected to the laser (10), which detects the receiving power continuously and switches off the laser light pulse when a limit value (24) corresponding to an adequate receiving power is reached.

characterized by a detection unit (16) connected to the laser (10), which detects the receiving power continuously and switches off the laser light pulse when a limit value (24) corresponding to an adequate receiving power is reached.
- 6. Method for detecting an object or a person in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, in which at least one laser light pulse is emitted and the laser light pulse reflected off an object or a person is received, characterized in that the receiving power is detected continuously and the laser light pulse is switched off when a limit value corresponding to an adequate receiving power is reached.
