ALERTING SYSTEM AND ALERTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240206788 titled 'ALERTING SYSTEM AND ALERTING METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an alerting system that notifies a driver when their gaze dwell time exceeds a certain threshold, recording their reaction to the notification and adjusting the notification parameters based on their responses.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Notification unit alerts driver when gaze dwell time is too long - Decision unit sets notification parameters for timing and conspicuousness - Behavior recording unit tracks driver's reaction to notifications - Reaction information recording unit records reaction data for parameter optimization
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in automotive safety systems to prevent distracted driving and improve overall road safety.
Problems Solved: The system addresses the issue of driver distraction by providing timely alerts and optimizing notification parameters based on driver reactions.
Benefits: - Enhanced driver safety - Reduced risk of accidents due to distracted driving - Customized notification settings for individual drivers
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Alert System for Enhanced Safety This technology can be implemented in vehicles, fleet management systems, and transportation safety programs to improve driver alertness and reduce the likelihood of accidents.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on driver alert systems, gaze tracking technology, and human-machine interaction in automotive settings to understand the evolution of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly studying driver behavior, eye tracking technology, and notification systems to enhance the effectiveness of alerting systems in various industries.
Questions about Driver Alert Systems: 1. How does this technology compare to existing driver alert systems on the market? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this alerting system in different types of vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
an alerting system includes: a notification unit, when a gaze dwell time of a driver exceeds a predetermined threshold, executing a notification at a predetermined conspicuousness level to the driver via an hmi device; a decision unit deciding on a notification parameter set including parameters defining a notification output timing and the conspicuousness level; a behavior recording unit recording presence/absence of a reactive behavior to the notification executed using the notification parameter set; and a reaction information recording unit recording reaction information where a reaction ratio, which is a ratio of the number of the notifications to which the reactive behavior occurs to the number of the notifications executed, is associated with each different notification parameter set, wherein the decision unit calculates and decides on, based on the reaction information, an optimal parameter set with which the reaction ratio is estimated to become the highest.
