Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system ( 100 ) for collision and intrusion detection of a door ( 1 ), the system ( 100 ) comprises a movement sensor ( 10 a, 10 b ) configured to be arranged at the door ( 1 ) to detect movement of the door ( 1 ), a processing circuitry ( 102 a, 102 b, 102 c ) configured to cause the system ( 100 ) to obtain, by the movement sensor ( 10 a, 10 b ), movement data indicative of a movement of the door ( 1 ), analyze the movement of the door ( 1 ) during a predefined time period based on the obtained movement data, and utilize a movement-to-event model to determine a probable event that caused the movement of the door ( 1 ). The disclosure further relates to a method for collision and intrusion detection of a door ( 1 ) and a computer program product ( 500 ).

Claims (41)

1 . A system for collision and intrusion detection of a door, the system comprises:

a movement sensor configured to be arranged at the door to detect movement of the door;

a processing circuitry, configured to cause the system to:

obtain, by the movement sensor, movement data indicative of a movement of the door;

analyze the movement of the door during a predefined time period based on the obtained movement data; and

utilize a movement-to-event model to determine a probable event that caused the movement of the door, and wherein the system further comprises:

a motor arranged in the vicinity of the movement sensor,

and the movement sensor is further configured to detect movement and/or vibration of the door caused by frequencies generated by the motor, and in accordance with a determination of a probable event, the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine a change in the amplitude of the frequencies generated by the motor to predict maintenance of the door.

2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the movement-to-event model is based on known movements of the door linked to known events.

3 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine a movement pattern describing the movement of the door during the predefined time period and wherein the movement-to-event model is comparing the determined movement pattern describing the movement of the door with known movement patterns describing different movements of the door caused by known events.

4 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to, cause the system to: control operation of the door based on the probable event that caused the movement of the door.

5 . A system for collision and intrusion detection of a door, the system comprises:

a movement sensor configured to be arranged at the door to detect movement of the door;

a processing circuitry, configured to cause the system to:

obtain, by the movement sensor, movement data indicative of a movement of the door;

analyze the movement of the door during a predefined time period based on the obtained movement data; and

utilize a movement-to-event model to determine a probable event that caused the movement of the door, and wherein the system further comprises:

a motor arranged in the vicinity of the movement sensor,

and the movement sensor is further configured to detect movement and/or vibration of the door caused by frequencies generated by the motor, and in accordance with a determination of a probable event, the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine a change in the amplitude of the frequencies generated by the motor to predict maintenance of the door,

wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the system to:

determine a position of the door between a closed and a fully opened position when the probable event that caused the movement of the door occurred.

6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the movement data indicative of a movement of the door is indicative of a movement in at least a first direction in relation to the door.

7 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the movement of the door during the predefined time period is described by a function describing a movement amplitude in at least a first direction in relation to the door over time.

8 . The system according to according to claim 1 , wherein an impact movement energy, causing the movement of the door during the predefined time period, is determined by calculating the surface area under the function describing the movement amplitude in the at least first direction in relation to the door over time.

9 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the movement-to-event model is trained based on historical event data and/or user input data by using artificial intelligence models and/or statistical models.

10 . A method for collision and intrusion detection of a door, wherein the door comprises a motor arranged in the vicinity of a movement sensor, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the movement sensor, movement data indicative of a movement of the door;

analyzing the movement of the door during a predefined time period based on the obtained movement data; and

utilizing a movement-to-event model to determine a probable event that caused the movement of the door

detecting movement and/or vibration of the door caused by frequencies generated by the motor, and in accordance with the determination of the probable event, and

determining a change in the amplitude of the frequencies generated by the motor to predict maintenance of the door.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

determining a movement pattern describing the movement of the door during the predefined time period and wherein the movement-to-event model is comparing the determined movement pattern describing the movement of the door with known movement patterns describing different movements of the door caused by known events.

12 . The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

controlling operation of the door based on the probable event that caused the movement of the door.

13 . The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

determining a position of the door when the probable event that caused the movement of the door occurred.

14 . A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium, having thereon a computer program comprising program instructions, the computer program being loadable into a processing circuitry and configured to cause execution of the method according to claim 10 when the computer program is run by the at least one processing circuitry.
