First Claim
Patent Images
1. A position detecting system, comprising:
- a transmitting apparatus;
a receiving apparatus; and
a moving body of which position is detected by using these apparatuses;
wherein said moving body is provided with a reflector reflecting a wave propagated through a space;
said transmitting apparatus includes transmitting means for transmitting said wave, and means for detecting a direction of transmitting said wave;
said receiving apparatus includes receiving means for receiving a reflected wave of said wave reflected by said reflector, and direction detecting means for detecting a direction from which said reflected wave is received;
said transmitting apparatus and said receiving apparatus are provided apart from each other; and
at least one of said transmitting apparatus, said receiving apparatus and said moving body detects the position of said moving body based on the direction of transmitting said wave, the direction of receiving the reflected wave of said wave and a distance between said transmitting apparatus and said receiving apparatus.

Abstract
A transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus of a position detecting system execute a program including the steps of transmitting a laser beam; detecting an azimuth α(Y) at which the laser beam is transmitted; detecting an azimuth β at which the reflected laser beam is received; calculating a distance L(1) between the transmitting apparatus and a moving body from α(Y), β and a distance D between the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatus; and calculating a distance L(2) between the receiving apparatus and the moving body.
