Abstract
A power tool accident prevention method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium receiving images from a static camera of a setup or operation of a power tool, include a danger identification circuit configured to: analyze the images to identify inherent dangers in the setup or the operation of the power tool, and identify at least one potential cause of an accident based on the identified inherent dangers, and a power tool disabling circuit configured to activate an emergency safety measure of the power tool to avoid the at least one potential cause of the accident.
Claims20
A power tool accident prevention system receiving images from a static camera of a setup or operation of a power tool, the system comprising:
- a danger identification circuit configured to:
- analyze the images to identify inherent dangers in the setup or the operation of the power tool;
- and
- identify at least one potential cause of an accident based on the identified inherent dangers;
- and
- a power tool disabling circuit configured to activate an emergency safety measure of the power tool to avoid the at least one potential cause of the accident.
A power tool accident prevention method, comprising:
- receiving images from a static camera of a setup or operation of a power tool;
- analyzing the images to identify inherent dangers in the setup or the operation of the power tool;
- identifying at least one potential cause of an accident based on the identified inherent danger;
- and
- activating an emergency safety measure of the power tool to avoid the at least one potential cause of the accident.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a power tool accident prevention program, the program causing a computer to perform:
- receiving images from a static camera of a setup or operation of a power tool;
- analyzing the images to identify inherent dangers in the setup or the operation of the power tool;
- identifying at least one potential cause of an accident based on the identified inherent danger;
- and
- activating an emergency safety measure of the power tool to avoid the at least one potential cause of the accident.
