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 20240286613 titled 'DRIVER MONITORING DEVICE, DRIVER MONITORING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM

The driver monitoring device described in the patent application includes a part that judges the expression of a driver from an image captured by an imaging device, and a processing part that enhances driver safety based on the expression detected.

  • Expression judgment part analyzes the driver's expression from a captured image.
  • Processing part calculates the frequency of surprise expressions and triggers safety enhancements when a threshold is met.
  • Safety measures are activated to protect the driver when surprise expressions are detected.

Potential Applications: - Driver safety systems in vehicles - Monitoring fatigue and distraction levels in drivers - Enhancing road safety by alerting drivers to potential dangers

Problems Solved: - Improving driver safety by detecting surprise expressions - Preventing accidents caused by distracted or fatigued drivers

Benefits: - Reducing the risk of accidents on the road - Enhancing overall driver safety and awareness - Providing real-time feedback to drivers for improved focus

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Monitoring System for Enhanced Safety This technology can be utilized in: - Automotive industry for integrating safety features in vehicles - Fleet management companies to monitor driver behavior - Insurance companies for incentivizing safe driving practices

Questions about Driver Monitoring Device: 1. How does the device differentiate between various facial expressions? The device uses advanced algorithms to analyze facial features and movements to determine different expressions accurately.

2. Can the device be integrated with existing vehicle safety systems? Yes, the device can be integrated with existing safety systems to enhance overall driver safety and alertness.


Original Abstract Submitted

the driver monitoring device includes an expression judgment part configured to judge an expression of a driver of a vehicle from an image generated by an imaging device capturing a face of the driver; and a processing part configured to calculate a frequency by which it is judged the expression of the driver is an expression of surprise and perform a predetermined processing for enhancing a safety of the driver when the frequency is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
