VEHICLE OCCUPANT RISKY BEHAVIOR RECOGNITION AND RISK MITIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17819615 titled 'VEHICLE OCCUPANT RISKY BEHAVIOR RECOGNITION AND RISK MITIGATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle equipped with interior and exterior image sensors, along with a controller that can automatically detect risky behavior by occupants.

  • The controller can detect if a vehicle occupant may pose a risk.
  • It can determine if the occupant is engaged in potentially risky behavior in a specific area of interest using image data from the sensors.
  • The controller can assess whether the risky behavior actually poses a risk.
  • It can classify the level of risk when a potential risk is identified.
  • The controller can take risk mitigation actions based on the classification of risk.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing vehicle safety by monitoring and addressing risky behavior of occupants.
  • Improving driver assistance systems by detecting distractions or dangerous behavior.
  • Enhancing security in autonomous vehicles by identifying potential threats from occupants.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Identifying and addressing risky behavior of vehicle occupants.
  • Enhancing overall safety and security within the vehicle environment.
  • Providing real-time monitoring and intervention capabilities for risky situations.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased safety for occupants and other road users.
  • Improved efficiency in addressing risky behavior.
  • Enhanced security features in vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle including one or more interior image sensors, one or more exterior image sensors, and a controller configured to automatically detect occupant risky behavior is provided. The controller is configured to: detect whether a vehicle occupant exists who may pose a risk; determine whether a detected vehicle occupant in engaged in potentially risky behavior in an area of interest (AoI) based on image data from the one or more interior image sensors or the one or more exterior image sensors; determine whether the potentially risky behavior poses an actual risk; classify a level of risk when the potentially risky behavior poses an actual risk; and perform risk mitigation actions based on risk classification.
