Detection Method of Three Events to Window and Key Using Light Sensor for Crime Prevention

Abstract

The three events to the window and the key occurring when a thief attempts to intrude into the house are detected by the different sensors conventionally. This paper proposes a method detecting the three events by using the simple light-sensor consisting of an infrared LED and a photodiode. In the experiments, the light sensor shows the different tendencies that can detect each event. This fact indicates that our proposal can realize a sensor module more efficiently instead of using different sensors.
