Detailed Description

The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the description herein is only intended to illustrate and explain embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit embodiments of the present invention.

Fig. 1 shows the structural schematic diagram of the steering wheel provided by the embodiment of the utility model, as shown in fig. 1, this steering wheel 1 includes transparent region and camera, this transparent region, set up in on the upper end arc surface of steering wheel, this camera, set up in transparent region below for shoot driver's facial feature.

The transparent area may be a display screen, in particular an OLED flexible display screen. The steering wheel is also provided with a controller, wherein the display screen can be arranged on the upper arc surface of the steering wheel 1, the display screen can execute corresponding display operation, the camera can be arranged on the steering wheel for seeking a more shooting position, and the camera can be arranged below the display screen as an off-screen camera 3 shown in figure 1 for shooting the facial features of a driver due to the display screen arranged on the steering wheel in advance; the controller is respectively arranged on the display screen and the camera, and can execute one or more of the following operations according to the facial features of the driver shot by the camera 3 under the screen:

face recognition, driver fatigue driving judgment and photographing record.

For not influencing the driver and holding to the steering wheel, this OLED display screen 2 can laminate on the arc surface in ten o 'clock to fourteen o' clock regions of steering wheel, because the camera requires than higher to the transmittance the screen down before camera 3 works, this controller can utilize the self-luminous counting principle, control the negative pole and the positive pole of this OLED display screen 2 and carry out the transparentization and handle, this screen down the required light of camera 3 pass this OLED display screen 2 after, this screen down camera 3 can carry out normal shooting operation. When the camera 3 does not need to work under the screen, the controller can control the OLED display screen 2 to normally display.

Fig. 2 shows a structural schematic diagram of a control portion of a steering wheel provided by the present novel embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the steering wheel may further include an alarm 6, and the alarm 6 is connected to the controller 4, under the condition that the controller 4 determines that the driver has fatigue driving according to facial feature information of the driver shot by the camera 3 under the screen, the alarm 6 may be controlled to give an alarm for fatigue driving, for example, the alarm 6 may be a vibration alarm built in the steering wheel, and warns the driver to avoid fatigue driving through vibration, thereby improving driving safety.

In an embodiment, before the vehicle is started, the identity of the current driver may be recognized, and it is determined whether the current driver is a driver with a pre-stored gear, specifically, the controller may further perform a face recognition operation according to facial features of the driver photographed by the off-screen camera 3, and then determine whether the current driver is the driver with the pre-stored gear according to a face recognition result, where in a case that the current driver is the driver with the pre-stored gear, corresponding operable devices are opened according to the authority of the driver, for example, the vehicle is started, and a vehicle-mounted terminal is used. Under the condition that the current driver is not a pre-stored gear driver, the controller 4 can send the face recognition result to the mobile terminal of the vehicle owner so as to alarm the vehicle owner for intrusion. As shown in fig. 2, the controller 4 may also be connected to a CAN bus 5 inside the vehicle, and further may perform data interaction with the vehicle-mounted control system through the CAN bus, for example, send a fatigue driving determination result and a face recognition result of the controller 4 to the vehicle-mounted control system, specifically, send the fatigue driving determination result to the vehicle-mounted control system in a case where the driver has fatigue driving, and the vehicle-mounted control system may perform classification storage according to the identity information of the driver. The controller 4 CAN also send the face recognition result to a vehicle-mounted control system through a CAN network, and under the condition that a driver illegally invades the vehicle without prestoring, the controller CAN send the corresponding face recognition result to the vehicle-mounted control system for storage, and CAN export the corresponding information to the vehicle-mounted control system for use when the owner maintains own rights and interests.

In an embodiment, the steering wheel may further be equipped with a gyroscope 7 and an acceleration sensor 8, wherein the gyroscope 7 is connected to the controller 4 and is configured to obtain a rotation angle of the steering wheel 1; the controller is further used for controlling the camera to start shooting operation under the condition that the rotation angle is smaller than a set angle in a set time period. The acceleration sensor is connected with the controller and used for acquiring the acceleration of the steering wheel; the controller is further configured to control the camera to start shooting operation when the acceleration is smaller than the set acceleration within a set time period, for example, when a driver drives a long distance (drives on an expressway), a large turning angle rarely occurs in most road sections, that is, a rotation angle of the steering wheel 1 within the set time period is smaller than the set angle, but a driver feels tired easily when driving a straight line or driving a straight line like the long time, and therefore, the controller may control the camera to start shooting operation when the rotation angle is smaller than the set angle within the set time period, so as to detect fatigue driving of the driver, and ensure safe driving of the driver. Similarly, the acceleration sensor 8 arranged in the steering wheel can also be used for acquiring the acceleration of the steering wheel, and when the driver drives in a straight line or a similar straight line for a long time, the steering wheel does not rotate greatly, so that the driver is easy to feel fatigue.

When the condition that either the gyroscope 7 or the acceleration sensor 8 triggers the start of the camera is generated, the controller controls the start of the camera and starts the shooting operation.
