Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 185 words
A moving body control device comprising: a motor for driving a moving body; first detecting means for detecting a first predetermined position of the moving body; second detecting means for detecting speed of said moving body; and control means for controlling braking of the moving body to stop the moving body within a predetermined range associated with a second predetermined position by utilizing outputs of said first and second detecting means, said control means starting the brake control of the moving body after said first detecting means detects the first predetermined position of the moving body, wherein said control means calculating the speed of the moving body and obtains a movement position of the moving body by utilizing the outputs of said first and second detecting means, determine a brake time of the moving body, said brake time being variable on the basis of the calculated speed and the obtained movement position, and brakes and unbrakes the moving body plural times on the basis of the obtained movement position during movement of the moving body from said first predetermined position to said second predetermined position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 185 words
A moving body control device comprising: a motor for driving a moving body; first detecting means for detecting a first predetermined position of the moving body; second detecting means for detecting speed of said moving body; and control means for controlling braking of the moving body to stop the moving body within a predetermined range associated with a second predetermined position by utilizing outputs of said first and second detecting means, said control means starting the brake control of the moving body after said first detecting means detects the first predetermined position of the moving body, wherein said control means calculating the speed of the moving body and obtains a movement position of the moving body by utilizing the outputs of said first and second detecting means, determine a brake time of the moving body, said brake time being variable on the basis of the calculated speed and the obtained movement position, and brakes and unbrakes the moving body plural times on the basis of the obtained movement position during movement of the moving body from said first predetermined position to said second predetermined position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
The moving body control device according to claim 1, wherein said control means controls braking of the moving body by sending a reversal signal to said motor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
The moving body control device according to claim 1, wherein said control means comprises a microcomputer having a predetermined program.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
The moving body control device according to claim 1, wherein said second detecting means comprises an encoder adapted to generate clock pulses in response to the rotation of said motor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 49 words
The moving body control device according to claim 1, whereinn said moving body is a reciprocative scanner for reading an original sheet, said first detecting means is set correspondingly to a leading edge of the original sheet, and said second predetermined position is a home position of said scanner.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 51 words
The moving body control according to claim 1, further including means for generating a reference signal, wherein said control means controls said motor to move said moving body at a predetermined speed by comparing the phase of the output from said second detecting means with the phase of said reference signal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 156 words
A moving body control device comprising: a motor for driving a moving body; first detecting means for detecting a first predetermined position of the moving body; second detecting means for detecting speed of the moving body; and control means for controlling braking of the moving body to stop the moving body within a predetermined range associated with a second predetermined position by utilizing outputs of said first and second detecting means, said control means starting the brake control of the moving body after said first detecting means detects the first predetermined position of the moving body, wherein said control means obtains a movement position of the moving body by utilizing the outputs of said first and second detecting means, and said control means brakes and unbrakes the moving body at plural times on the basis of the obtained movement position during movement of the moving body from said first predetermined position to said second predetermined position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 156 words
A moving body control device comprising: a motor for driving a moving body; first detecting means for detecting a first predetermined position of the moving body; second detecting means for detecting speed of the moving body; and control means for controlling braking of the moving body to stop the moving body within a predetermined range associated with a second predetermined position by utilizing outputs of said first and second detecting means, said control means starting the brake control of the moving body after said first detecting means detects the first predetermined position of the moving body, wherein said control means obtains a movement position of the moving body by utilizing the outputs of said first and second detecting means, and said control means brakes and unbrakes the moving body at plural times on the basis of the obtained movement position during movement of the moving body from said first predetermined position to said second predetermined position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 57 words
The moving body control device according to claim 7, wherein said control means calculates the speed of the moving body and obtains the movement position of the moving body by utilizing the outputs of said first and second detecting means, and determines a brake mode on the basis of the calculated speed and the obtained movement position.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 38 words
The moving body control device according to claim 8, wherein said control means determines a brake time of the moving body, said brake time being variable on the basis of the calculated speed and the obtained movement position.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 27 words
The moving body control device according to claim 7, wherein said control means controls braking of the moving body by sending a reversal signal to said motor.
