    摘要: Provided is an ultrasonic sensor device and a sensing method. The device includes a first ultrasonic sensor that transmits an ultrasonic wave to an object in a transmission mode and receives an echo of the ultrasonic wave reflected from the object in a reception mode; at least one second ultrasonic sensor that is disposed near the first ultrasonic sensor and receives an echo of the ultrasonic wave reflected from the object; and a control unit that calculates a shortest distance signal with respect to the object by using a first distance signal outputted based on the echo received by the first ultrasonic sensor and a second distance signal outputted from the second ultrasonic sensor with the first ultrasonic sensor in the reception mode.
