DRIVER MONITORING DEVICE AND DRIVER MONITORING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127609 titled 'DRIVER MONITORING DEVICE AND DRIVER MONITORING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a driver monitoring device that determines whether the driver is in a specific state while a driving assistance device is in operation. The device relaxes the conditions for determining the driver's state when the driving assistance control is active.
- Driver monitoring device for vehicles with driving assistance systems
- Driver state acquisition unit acquires driver's state
- Driver state determination unit determines specific state based on acquired data
- Conditions for determining driver's state are relaxed when driving assistance control is active
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and safety to enhance driver monitoring and assistance systems.
Problems Solved
- Ensures accurate monitoring of driver's state - Improves safety by adjusting monitoring conditions based on driving assistance control
Benefits
- Enhanced driver safety - Improved efficiency of driving assistance systems - Customized monitoring based on driving conditions
Potential Commercial Applications
"Driver Monitoring Device for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency in Vehicles"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing driver monitoring systems in vehicles, but the specific relaxation of conditions based on driving assistance control may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
