VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199085 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a vehicle control apparatus that uses biometric information to determine if autonomous driving is approved and if the passenger has dementia based on voice interaction.
- The vehicle control apparatus includes a first detection device that detects biometric information of a passenger using a sensor.
- A processor connected to the first detection device determines if a predetermined autonomous driving level is approved based on the biometric information.
- The processor also assesses if the passenger has dementia by analyzing voice interaction if the autonomous driving level is not approved.
- The decision to perform autonomous driving is based on the result of determining whether the passenger has dementia.
Potential Applications: 1. Enhanced vehicle safety by ensuring only approved passengers can engage in autonomous driving. 2. Improved passenger monitoring for early detection of cognitive impairments like dementia. 3. Customized driving experiences based on passenger biometric data.
Problems Solved: 1. Ensures only authorized passengers can access autonomous driving features. 2. Provides a mechanism to detect cognitive impairments in passengers for enhanced safety. 3. Tailors driving experiences based on passenger health conditions.
Benefits: 1. Increased safety and security for passengers. 2. Early detection of cognitive impairments for timely intervention. 3. Personalized driving experiences for passengers.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. It can also be integrated into transportation services for enhanced passenger safety and comfort.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the vehicle control apparatus determine if a passenger has dementia based on voice interaction? 2. What are the potential implications of using biometric information for autonomous driving decisions?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of biometric sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms can further enhance the capabilities of the vehicle control apparatus in accurately detecting cognitive impairments and ensuring passenger safety.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle control apparatus and a method thereof are provided. the vehicle control apparatus includes a first detection device that detects biometric information of a passenger in a vehicle using a sensor and a processor electrically connected with the first detection device. the processor: determines whether to approve a predetermined autonomous driving level based on the biometric information; determines whether the passenger has dementia based on voice interaction in response to determining that the predetermined autonomous driving level is not approved; and determines whether to perform autonomous driving based on the result of determining whether the passenger has dementia.
