  • Patent number: 5550726
    Abstract: A radio wave signal is transmitted from a radio wave transmitter according to a command from a central control unit, and a supersonic wave is transmitted from a supersonic wave transmitter held by a moving object according to this radio wave signal. A time counter in a supersonic wave detecting device determines the time required from the transmission of the radio wave signal to the detection of the supersonic wave. A coordinate position of the object is calculated on the basis of the thus-obtained time data from a plurality of the supersonic wave detecting devices and positional data of the supersonic wave detecting devices to control the lighting direction of a lighting projector according to a command signal from the central control unit referring to a positional data of the lighting projector.
