Patent ID: 10200684

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for monitoring the proper functioning of a transmission path, particularly of a camera (12), comprising a camera (12), particularly a digital camera, for capturing a detection area (14) and for generating corresponding first signals (S1), a display unit (26) for displaying the detection area (14) captured by the camera (12) using the first signals (S1), a light source array (18) arranged in the detection area (14) of the camera (12), a detection unit (30) with an optical measuring sensor array (32) for detecting the display output of the display unit (26) and for generating corresponding second signals (S2), a monitoring unit (36) that actuates the light source array (18) using a pre-definable pattern (M) and checks whether the second signals (S2) detected by the detection unit (30) contain the pattern (M), during evaluation of the display output of the display unit (26), and a communication unit (24) for transmitting the first and second signals (S1, S2) and the pre-definable pattern (M). The invention further relates to a corresponding method and a corresponding computer program.
