Application Example
Possible Application of Opto-chrono Code
Data Reception from Moving/Floating Object
Opto-chrono Code can be decoded while tracking the object even if it is moving or floating.
Due to this advantage, the following applications are assumed.
■ID management and tracking of all workers in a factory
Recently, there is a high demand that employers want to put IDs on workers in a factory and oversee what they are doing. However, optimal auto-ID technology does not exist.
If Opto-chrono Code is applied on top of worker's cap or helmet and the entire space of the factory is shot with cameras, all workers' ID management is possible by detecting their codes simultaneously and tracking them.
Not only human being but also various moving objects such as a forklift in warehouse can have ID for their management, too.
■ID management and tracking of moving vehicles on runways
There are lots of transit cars for passengers or vehicles for maintenance of airplanes on runways. Control of runways has to be strict and accurate. Opto-chrono Code can be decoded while moving at any hour regardless of day and night. Also, it can be decoded from a distance such as an airport control tower.
Data Reception under Severe Environmental Conditions
Opto-chrono Code can be decoded once colors are recognized even under severe environmental conditions.
■Data reception from a distance
Even if the distance between Opto-chrono Code and a decoder is very far from each other, the code can be decoded if the light emission reaches to the decoder and the colors of the light can be recognized.
For example, if Opto-chrono Code is applied on a pin-point of a big advertising or a big screen, People on the streets can decode the code by their mobile phone camera and get beneficial information such as couponing related to the advertising contents.
■Data reception under water
Almost all auto-ID codes can not be detected under water because of water fluctuation. However, you can decode Opto-chrono Code even if the captuing image is blurry as long as the light emission reaches to the decoder.
