Information terminal device and object identification device
View Patent ↗An information terminal device ( 100 ) comprises a light source ( 171 ) that directs light at a display face on which a display component ( 110 ) is disposed, an object detecting sensor ( 170 ) that receives light from the display face, and a controller ( 300 ) that determines whether or not a sheet ( 180 ) has been affixed to the display face on the basis of the output from the object detecting sensor ( 170 ).
1. An information terminal device, comprising:
a display component that displays information;
a light emitting component that directs light at a display face on which the display component is disposed;
a light receiving component that receives light from the display face; and
a controller that determines whether or not a sheet has been affixed to the display face on the basis of the output from the light receiving component.
2. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the light emitting component and the light receiving component are disposed inside the device.
3. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display component further comprises a display panel for displaying information, and a cover that covers at least part of the surface of the display panel, and
the sheet covers the surface of the cover.
4. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sheet changes the reflection coefficient of light for part of the light receiving component periphery from that of the other parts.
5. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sheet has a filter function so that light of a wavelength that can be sensed by the light receiving component is selectively reflected.
6. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a notification is made on the basis of the result of determining whether or not the sheet has been affixed.
7. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein result of determining whether or not the sheet has been affixed is displayed on the display panel.
8. The information terminal device according to claim 6 ,
further comprising a communication component that communicates with an external device,
wherein the result of determining whether or not the sheet has been affixed is transmitted through the communication component to the external device.
9. The information terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the light receiving component detects the distance from an object located at the outside of the device by receiving light reflected by the object.
10. An object discrimination device, comprising:
a display component that displays information;
a light emitting component that directs light at a display face on which the display component is disposed;
a light receiving component that receives light from the display face; and
a controller that determines whether or not a sheet has been affixed to the display face on the basis of the output from the light receiving component.
11. An information terminal device, comprising:
a display component that displays information;
a sound source that directs sound waves at a display face on which the display component is disposed;
a sound wave detector that detects sound waves from the display face; and
a controller that determines whether or not a sheet has been affixed to the display face on the basis of the output from the sound wave detector.
12. The information terminal device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the light receiving component detects the distance from an object located at the outside of the device by receiving light reflected by the object.
