NOTIFICATION CONTROL DEVICE, NOTIFICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109551 titled 'NOTIFICATION CONTROL DEVICE, NOTIFICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a notification control device that detects a driver's sightline and issues warnings based on certain conditions being met.
- The device detects the driver's sightline.
- It outputs a first warning if the driver's sightline is out of a predetermined range for a certain period.
- It outputs a second warning if the driver's sightline is out of the range and a risky object is present in a reference area for a shorter period than the first time.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Automotive safety systems
- Driver assistance systems
Problems Solved
This technology helps to:
- Prevent accidents caused by distracted or inattentive drivers
- Increase overall road safety
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved driver awareness
- Timely warnings for potential hazards
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Automobile manufacturing
- Fleet management systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing driver monitoring systems that issue warnings based on driver behavior and surroundings.

Original Abstract Submitted
a notification control device performs: detecting a sightline of a driver; causing an information output device to output a first warning when a first condition is satisfied; and causing the information output device to output a second warning when a second condition is satisfied. the first condition is a condition that the driver's sight line is out of a predetermined range in which the driver is considered to see a view in front of the mobile object and a state in which the sightline is out of the range is maintained for a first time. the second condition is a condition that the driver's sightline is out of the range, a risky object to be noticed is present in a reference area, and the state in which the sightline is out of the range is maintained for a second time shorter than the first time.
