DRIVER STATE DETECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246542 titled 'DRIVER STATE DETECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a driver state detection device that uses a driver monitor camera to capture the driver's face and determine their facial orientation or line-of-sight direction. The device can detect distracted driving behavior by analyzing the driver's facial orientation and set an allowable range based on steering wheel operation and vehicle speed.
- The device uses a driver monitor camera to capture the driver's face and generate a facial image.
- It detects the driver's facial orientation or line-of-sight direction to determine distracted driving behavior.
- The allowable range for facial orientation is set based on steering wheel operation and vehicle speed.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes a driver monitor camera to capture the driver's face.
- Analyzes facial orientation or line-of-sight direction to detect distracted driving.

Original Abstract Submitted
a driver state detection device provided with a driver monitor camera configured to capture the face of a driver of a vehicle to generate a facial image of the driver and a control device. the control device is configured so as to detect the facial orientation or the line-of-sight direction of the driver based on the facial image, judge that the driver is driving distracted when the facial orientation or the line-of-sight direction of the driver is maintained for greater than or equal to a predetermined time period at the outside from the allowable range allowed as the facial orientation or the line-of-sight direction of the driver, and set the allowable range based on an operating parameter which is in a correlative relationship with steering operation of the steering wheel of the vehicle and the speed of the vehicle.
