Radio communication apparatus, radio communication method, and radio communication system

摘要

A radio communication apparatus includes a radio transmitting/receiving unit having a directional antenna and a storage unit storing reference image data and captured image data obtained by an imaging unit. The imaging unit has an optical axis oriented in the same direction as the radio wave direction of the directional antenna and captures an image related to a line of sight of the other opposed radio communication apparatus. The radio communication apparatus further includes an image processing unit comparing the reference image data with the captured image data and a control unit detecting, from the comparison result, and informing that an obstacle is traveling toward the aforementioned radio wave direction.

主权项

1. A P-to-P (point to point) radio communication apparatus for performing opposing communications with another P-to-P radio communication apparatus using a directional antenna, comprising:
a radio transmitting/receiving unit using the directional antenna; and an imaging unit having an optical axis which coincides with a direction of radio waves of the directional antenna, the imaging unit being configured to capture images in the direction of the radio waves, an image processing unit configured to convert the images into reference image data and captured image data and compare the reference image data with the captured image data to generate a comparison result; a storage unit for storing the captured image data and the reference image data captured; a control unit configured to determine, if it is detected that the object is toward a center of the captured image from the comparison result, that an object is toward a direction to block the radio waves and notify alert information, and wherein the alert information includes a cross mark drawn at the center of a display to indicate a direction of directivity of the antenna and a high gain range of the antenna.
