Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the detailed interruption position coordinates by light- emitting a wide angle beam from a light emitting element with an hourly difference. CONSTITUTION:A light emitting circuit 5 successively scans a light emitting element 1 in a light emitting element 1 one by one and gives a signal to generate the wide angle beam to a light emitting element 1. A light receiving element 3 senses the presence and absence of a beam generated from the light emitting element 1 and receives it as a signal by a light receiving circuit 7. A recognizing device 9 hourly synchronizes the light receiving/emitting signal of the light emitting circuit 5 and the light receiving circuit 7, accumulates the information for a light emitting element, executes the recognizing processing in a lump and determines the interruption coordinates position. Even concerning a light emitting element 2, a light emitting circuit 6, a light receiving circuit 8 and a recognizing device 10, the same processing is executed.
