DRIVER MONITORING DEVICE, DRIVER MONITORING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240336269 titled 'DRIVER MONITORING DEVICE, DRIVER MONITORING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a driver monitoring device that can autonomously control a vehicle, determine if the driver is in a sleeping or drowsy state, and detect if the driver is using an electronic device based on facial and behavioral cues.
- The device can control the vehicle autonomously.
- It can determine if the driver is sleeping or drowsy.
- It can detect if the driver is using an electronic device based on facial and behavioral cues.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles, commercial transportation, and fleet management systems to enhance safety and prevent accidents caused by drowsy or distracted driving.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the risks associated with drowsy driving and distracted driving, improving road safety and reducing the likelihood of accidents.
Benefits:
The benefits of this technology include increased road safety, prevention of accidents, improved driver monitoring, and enhanced overall driving experience.
Commercial Applications:
Title: Advanced Driver Monitoring System for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency
This technology can be commercially applied in autonomous vehicles, commercial transportation services, and fleet management systems to improve safety, reduce accidents, and enhance operational efficiency.
Prior Art:
Prior art related to this technology may include existing driver monitoring systems, facial recognition technology, and systems that detect driver drowsiness or distraction.
Frequently Updated Research:
Research on driver monitoring systems, facial recognition technology, and artificial intelligence in automotive safety systems is frequently updated and relevant to this technology.
Questions about Driver Monitoring Technology:
1. How does this technology differentiate between a sleeping or drowsy driver and a driver using an electronic device?
- The technology analyzes facial and behavioral cues to make this determination.
2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in autonomous vehicles?
- The technology can enhance safety and efficiency in autonomous driving systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
a driver monitoring device has vehicle control part performing autonomous driving control of a vehicle, first determination part performing first determination of whether there is a possibility of a driver of the vehicle being in a sleeping state or strongly drowsy state, and second determination part performing second determination of whether the driver is using an electronic device based on an image including a face of the driver and behavioral feature information showing a difference between a behavioral feature of the driver when the driver is in the sleeping state or strongly drowsy state and the behavioral feature of the driver when the driver is using the electronic device.
