Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an infrared object detector, especially for air-conditioner. SOLUTION: The infrared object detector for air-conditioner decides whether an object is located at a remote, intermediate or close position. The distance is determined by detecting a signal outputted from a light receiving part 100 having substantially three detection areas of intersection field of view with a light shielding means 103 being interposed between a pair of hemispherical Fresnel lenses juxtaposed on a printed circuit board 102 through a signal processing circuit 250 and a program stored in a microcomputer 300. The r.p.m. of a fan in air-conditioner is set in three stages based on the decision results in order to deliver a command for controlling the operation of air-conditioner depending on the number of persons, movement and activity. Air flow of the air-conditioner is regulated optimally according to the command, thus saving power. When the infrared object detector is applied to a camcoder or a camera, distance to an object or scene can be determined more accurately. |
