     SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 
     Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to figures and examples. Through these explanations, the features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer. 
     The term “exemplary” as used herein is intended to be “serving as an example, an illustrative embodiment, or an embodiment”. Any of the embodiments described herein as “exemplary” need not be construed as preferred or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the figures, it is not necessary to draw a figure in proportion unless otherwise specified. 
     According to the biosensitive perimeter provided by the present invention, as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , said perimeter includes a support  1 , an excitation wire  2 , an induction wire  3 , a processor  4 , and an alarm  5 ; wherein, said support  1  is more than one, and said processor  4  and said alarm  5  are preferably installed on the support  1 , and further preferably, the inside of said perimeter has the space to accommodate the above mentioned processor  4  and alarm  5 , so that only the perimeter can be seen from outside and the internal components can not be observed, thereby improving the aesthetic performance of the perimeter, and also makes it impossible to know that the perimeter has biometric anti-theft function from the appearance. If necessary, the biosensitive words can also be marked on the perimeter, which can be set according to the actual needs of users. 
     Preferably, the excitation wire  2  and the induction wire  3  are arranged in parallel and pass through a plurality of said supports. The distance between the adjacent two supports is adjustable, and the excitation wire  2  and the induction wire  3  therebetween may be arranged to be telescopic, that is, said excitation wire  2  and said induction wire  3  are each arranged in a roll-like shape usually in said support, and are stretched in a band-like shape or a line shape by an external force to constitute the mutually parallel excitation wire  2  and the induction wire  3 , thereby making the application range of said perimeter more flexible, and the 5 transportation and the placement more convenient. 
     Preferably, said excitation wire  2  is used to form an induced electric field around it, the radiation range and radiation shape of the induced electric field are related to the shape of said excitation wire, preferably, the area of the induced electric field,  10  that is, the range of the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire is mainly an electric field centered on the excitation wire and radiated outward around its 360-degree direction, the electric field radiated outward in the 360-degree direction constitutes a virtual space barrier, and the extended area of the space barrier is also the guard range of the device provided by the present invention, that is, an organism entering the area will cause the change of the induced voltage value, and then the device will make response accordingly; the virtual space barrier described in the present invention covers at least the entire perimeter, and preferably comprises a predetermined area around the perimeter. The induced electric field described in the present invention is a very low frequency signal, that is, the induced electric field is a very low frequency induced electric field having an operating frequency of 3 to 30 kHz and having no adverse effect on the human body. 
     In a preferred embodiment, the support of said perimeter is movable and can be discharged at any point, such as a wall, a roadside and so on, according to a predetermined law, and can be set according to the specific needs. 
     In the present invention, there are a plurality of supports and at least two, and said supports can be increased according to the specific situation of the place of use. The maximum distance between each two supports is constant, which is determined by the length of the induction wire and the excitation wire between the adjacent supports. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said processor and said alarm are preferably placed within said support. 
     In a preferred embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 4 , a wire bushing  7  is coated on the outside of said excitation wire and said induction wire, and said wire bushing is telescopic and can be telescoped with the extension of the wire. Between the two adjacent wire bushings there is provided a docking portion  8  for receiving the wire bushing. 
     Said induction wire and said excitation wire described in the present invention may be line-like wires or other shapes of conductors such as ribbon and so on. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said induction wire  3  is located in said induced electric field for sensing (or collecting) the information of said induced electric field, in particular the intensity information of said induced electric field, and converting the sensed information into a voltage signal and transmitting the voltage signal to said processor  4 . In the present invention, the shape and the position of said induction wire are not particularly limited as long as they are located in the induced electric field and can sense the signal of the induced electric field. In the present invention, it is preferable that said excitation wire  2  and said induction wire  3  are arranged in parallel, and the relative position is not changed so as to make the intensity of the 5 induced electric field sensed by the induction wire  3  not easily changed, at least not due to the reason of the apparatus itself. Since an organism in nature can all produce very low frequency induced electric field (caused by flowing body fluid), when a human body enters the induced electric field generated by the 10 above-mentioned excitation wire, the induced electric field sensed by said induction wire  3  changes accordingly, and through the research and calculation of the changed induced electric field, it can detect whether there is any body has invaded or attempt to invade the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire,  15  so as to realize the biosensitive function. 
     Said processor  4  is used to receive the voltage signal transmitted from the induction wire  3 , and to control the alarm operation when the voltage value of the voltage signal is greater than the predetermined alarm voltage value, that is the program of alarm activation. 
     Said alarm  5  is used to issue an audible and visual alarm signal under the control of the processor  4 , the duration of the signal is 1 s to 10 s and can be set or mediated by the user in advance. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said processor  4  is also used to control the intensity of the induced electric field formed by the excitation wire based on the received voltage signal, thereby stabilizing the voltage value of the received voltage signal within the predetermined arming voltage range, that is, the processor  4  has the function of adjusting the intensity of the induced electric field rounded the excitation wire  2  in a manner of adjusting the power excitation voltage which generates the induced electric field. When the excitation voltage applied to the excitation wire increases, the intensity of the induced electric field is increased correspondingly, otherwise it is reduced. 
     The reason for setting up the processor having the above-mentioned function of adjusting the intensity of the induced electric field is that the biosensitive perimeter provided by the present invention will be used for a long period of time and often need to have a working life of several years or even decades, and the work site thereof may be outdoors, and the environment will inevitably change during the working period including changes in temperature, changes in air humidity, changes in lighting conditions, and so on, which may affect the intensity of the induced electric field around said excitation wire  2 , and if the intensity interfered with external factors and largely changed, it is easy to give wrong reports and other undesirable phenomena. 
     Specifically, said processor  4  includes a judgment module  41  and an adjustment module  42 . 
     Wherein, said judgment module  41  stores a predetermined alarm voltage value, an arming voltage range, and an operating voltage value, and said operating voltage value falls within said arming voltage range. 
     When said judgment module  41  senses that the voltage value of said voltage signal is greater than the predetermined alarm voltage value, the alarm is activated. 
     When said judgment module  41  senses that the voltage value of said voltage signal falls within the arming voltage range, the adjustment module  42  is activated. 
     Said alarm  5  can issue an alarm beep and an alarm indicator light after activation. 
     Said adjustment module  42  is used to control the intensity of the induced electric field formed by said excitation wire after activation in real time, thereby making the voltage value of the voltage signal received by said processor  4  substantially equal to the operating voltage value. The voltage value of the voltage signal received by the processor  4  is substantially constant under different external conditions by excluding the interference of the external conditions to the intensity of the induced electric field through said adjustment module  42 . At this time, if the received voltage value changed abruptly and the changed voltage value exceeded said arming voltage range, the reason is basically that an organism enters into the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire, thereby making the induced electric field sensed by the induction wire change abruptly. 
     The arming voltage range described in the present invention is a numerical range having a certain voltage span. In the present invention, it is preferable that, in different external environments, in the case where there is no organism that can cause the alarm close to the alarm device (no organism that can cause the alarm enter the induced electric field formed by the excitation wire) that is, in the case where the alarm device is operating normally, the voltage value of the voltage signal transmitted from the induction wire  3  that can be received by the processor  4  falls within the arming voltage range. In the present invention, it is further preferable that, said different external environments include rain and snow weather, hot and humid hot weather, cold conditions, and so on commonly found in nature. That is, the voltage value received at this time is the result of the interaction between the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire and the induced electric field of the nature. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said predetermined alarm voltage value is greater than the maximum value in said arming voltage range, and the external environment which can only change the voltage value of the voltage signal transmitted from the induction wire  3  is impossible to raise the voltage value of the voltage signal to the predetermined alarm voltage value, that is, the natural environment can not trigger the alarm. Specifically, when the operation is performed under 85±2° C. for two hours or more, the voltage value of the voltage signal transmitted from the 20 induction wire  3  is smaller than the predetermined alarm voltage value and can not trigger the alarm; when the operation is performed under constant hot and humid (40±2) ° C. and RH (93±2) % for 48 hours or more, the voltage value of the voltage signal transmitted from the induction wire  3  is smaller than the predetermined alarm voltage value and can not trigger the alarm. 
     In a preferred embodiment, there is a predetermined difference between said predetermined alarm voltage value and the maximum value in said arming voltage range, which is used to distinguish whether the voltage change is a natural environment factor or an organism enters into the induced electric field. When an organism enters into the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire, the induced electric field sensed by the induction wire changes abruptly, and the voltage value of the voltage signal received by the processor  4  changes abruptly. If small animals less than 1 kg enter the induced electric field, the change amount of the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire will be small due to its small volume quality, so that the voltage value of the voltage signal received by the processor  4  will be also small, and the voltage value of the voltage signal received by the processor  4  at this time may exceed the arming voltage range, but must be smaller than the predetermined alarm voltage value and can not trigger the alarm. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said predetermined alarm voltage value is related to the voltage of the power supply section which generate the induced electric field on the excitation wire  2 , and if the voltage of the power supply section is adjusted, said predetermined alarm voltage value will be adjusted accordingly; and said arming voltage range is 0 to 2 V, preferably 0.1 to 1.5 V, and more preferably 0.2 to 1 V. 
     In a further preferred embodiment, said predetermined alarm voltage value is 50% to 80% of the voltage value of the power supply section which generates the induced electric field on the excitation wire  2 ; said predetermined alarm voltage value is in the range of 2.5 to 24 V, preferably 3.5 to 10 V; and the voltage of the power supply section for generating the induced electric field on said excitation wire  2  is generally a safety voltage, the preferable voltage value is 5 to 30 V, and when the voltage of the power supply section for generating the induced electric field on said excitation wire  2  is 12 V, said predetermined alarm voltage value is 6 to 9 V, preferably 6 V. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said predetermined alarm voltage value and said arming voltage range described in the present invention are capable of being adjusted in accordance with a preset procedure under the control of the processor, or artificially set/changed through an external auxiliary device. 
     In a preferred embodiment, an operating voltage value is the voltage value information automatically recorded and stored by said biosensitive perimeter, and the recording process is: when said biosensitive perimeter is energized and activated, said judgment module  41  receives the voltage signal transmitted from the induction wire  3 , and determines whether or not the received voltage value of said voltage signal is within the arming voltage range, and when the voltage value of said voltage signal is within said arming voltage range and is substantially stable in the vicinity of a fixed voltage value for a predetermined period of time, the fixed voltage value is recorded as an operating voltage value. The process described above is also referred to as an arming process, which is initiated at each power-up start with a start-up time of less than 10 seconds, that is, said biosensitive perimeter can enter normal alert state within 10 seconds of starting. If the voltage value received at the time of power-up is within said arming voltage range, the biosensitive perimeter will work normally and, if the voltage value is not within this range, an alarm signal will be issued until the received voltage signal is within said arming voltage range, and there may be a device failure or an organism in the area of the induced electric field at this time. 
     The area of the induced electric field described in the present invention, that is, the range of the induced electric field generated by the excitation wire, preferably is an electric field centered on the excitation wire and radiated outward around its 360-degree direction, and the electric field radiated outward in the 360-degree direction constitutes a virtual space barrier, and the extended area of the space barrier is also the guard range of the device provided by the present invention, that is, an organism  15  entering the area will cause the change of the induced voltage value and then make appropriate response. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said processor  4  includes a timing module, which is used for timing when the voltage value of the received voltage signal is greater than or equals to the predetermined alarm voltage value, and recording the duration of the voltage value, and at this point, the alarm is not activated. If the duration of the voltage (which is greater than the predetermined alarm voltage) is greater than 0 to 5 seconds, preferably 1 to 2 seconds, most preferably 1 second in the present invention, the alarm will be activated, and then an alarm signal will be issued. 
     In a preferred embodiment, said perimeter also includes a power supply, a filter, a voltage amplifier, and a pulse signal generator  6 . Said power supply is preferably a DC power supply, and can be a battery; and said filter is used to filter the voltage signal transmitted from the induction wire, that is filtering out clutter in space to avoid interference.

The biosensitive perimeter can control the alarm to issue remote alarm information when there is a biological invasion, and said camera can photograph images near the perimeter and generate screen information.

     Preferably, said camera may be one or more, which can be set according to specific circumstances.
