DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING PHYSICAL IMPACTS
First Claim
1. An impact reducing device, comprising a depth-sensing camera, an impact reducing system, and an impact reducing unit, each of which connects to each other using data buses;
- wherein the depth-sensing camera is configured to capture images of a target and obtain Z depth information of the target; and
the impact reducing system is configured to determine whether the target is within a predetermined distance to a predetermined location according to the Z depth information, and configured to control the impact reducing unit to provide a resistance in event the target is within the predetermined distance, thereby reducing any impact generated by contact with the target.

Abstract
An impact reducing device applied to a door or window which is closing includes a depth-sensing camera, an impact reducing system, and an impact reducing unit. The depth-sensing camera captures images of a target constantly, and obtains Z depth information of the target. The impact reducing system determines whether the target is going to close according to the Z depth information and controls the impact reducing unit to provide a resistance such as a strong jet of air when the target is going to close, to reduce violent impacts.
