  • Viewing distance safety system
    Patent number: 6927696
    Abstract: A viewing distance safety system, utilizing a viewing distance safety device having two ultrasonic sensor modules at a particular angle to each other to achieve a wide field of view, and includes an adjustable, user selected, distance threshold setting that activates a warning when an object or person enters the region within the threshold distance. The system emits a warning when the threshold distance has been crossed, and, once the distance is cleared, the warning stops and the system resets itself. The system allows a voice message to be recorded for playback when an alarm is activated by crossing into the threshold distance.
