METHOD OF NON-CONTACT CONTROL USING A POLARIZING PEN AND SYSTEM INCORPORATING SAME

摘要

There are disclosed a method and a system for non-contact control in a form of a polarization marker, a receiving device, and a microprocessor. In the polarization marker, beams are polarized with a customized cylinder polarizer, pass through a system of lenses and reflectors and are emitted into space, wherein the direction of the polarization vectors is axially symmetrical about the virtual axis of the polarization marker. The receiving device located in the working plane identifies the direction and position in space of the polarization marker in relation to the receiver, the results being interpreted by the microprocessor into control commands The receiving device consists of polarimeters spaced at a predetermined distance. The polarimeters identify the direction of the polarization vectors of incident beams from the polarization marker. Based on the data obtained from each polarimeter, the microprocessor calculates the direction and angles of site of the polarization marker.

1. A method for non-contact control using a system that includes a polarization marker and a receiver, the polarization marker having a hollow cylinder polarizer, a light source the beams of which pass through the cylinder polarizer walls, reflectors and lenses; the receiver having a microprocessor and at least two polarimeters spaced at a predetermined distance about a perimeter of the receiver; the method comprising:
causing the polarization marker to emit beams such that the direction of polarization vectors of beams radially is axially symmetrical about the virtual axis of the polarization marker, causing the receiver to receive the polarized light coming from the polarization marker, identifying, by the polarimeters, the direction of polarization vectors, based on the identified direction of polarization vectors, causing the microprocessor to calculate a direction and a position in space of the polarization marker in relation to the receiver, based on the direction and the position of the polarization marker, generating at least one control command.
