Abstract

In a system and a method for determining closed and open states of closeable and openable passages of an object, components are configured to determine whether a closeable and openable passage is in an open state or in a closed state and are all arranged exclusively on one spot associated with the passage providing closing and opening of the passage.

Claims (12)

1. A system for determining closed and open states of closeable and openable passages of an object, comprising

components which are configured to determine whether a closeable and openable passage is in an open state or in a closed state and which are all arranged exclusively on one spot associated with the passage providing closing and opening of the passage,

wherein the all components are arranged in a ground, or in a threshold adjoining a residence, or recessed in a component of the passage.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system includes means for preliminary calibration and subsequent determination of the open state of the system based on deviation of obtained calibration data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the components include a proximity antenna and a communication antenna configured so that when the system transmits through the proximity antenna a signal is supplied to the proximity antenna through one feed element, when the system transmits through the communication antenna a signal is supplied through another feed element, and when the same antenna is used for communication and for proximity detection a proximity detection signal and a communication signal are supplied through a same feed but in different time frames.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the components include a reflection lens so that a light waveform is transmitted through the reflection lens from a door plate and light is reflected from a door frame through the lends to a sensor which measures for each wave light transition a time of light in comparison to a time of light when the sensor was calibrated, to thusly identify whether a door is open or closed, and the lens provides spinning of an optical sensor wave by 45 degrees.

5. A method for determining closed and open states of closeable and openable passages of an object, comprising

configuring components to determine whether a closeable and openable passage is in an open state or in a closed state; and arranging all components exclusively on one element associated with the passage providing closing and opening of the passage,

and arranging the all components arranged in a ground, or in a threshold adjoining a residence, or recessed in a component of the passage.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the method includes carrying out preliminary calibration and subsequent determination of the open state of the system based on deviation of obtained calibration data.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the components include a proximity antenna and a communication antenna operating so that when the system transmits through the proximity antenna a signal is supplied to the proximity antenna through one feed element, when the system transmits through the communication antenna a signal is supplied through another feed element, and when the same antenna is used for communication and for proximity detection a proximity detection signal and a communication signal are supplied through a same feed but in different time frames.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the components include a reflection lens operating so that so that a light waveform is transmitted through the reflection lens from a door plate and light is reflected from a door frame through the lends to a sensor which measures for each wave light transition a time of light in comparison to a time of light when the sensor was calibrated, to thusly identify whether a door is open or closed, and the lens provides spinning of an optical sensor wave by 45 degrees.
