Abstract

PURPOSE:To contribute to safe running of an automobile by executing the notice with a voice (voice of the family, etc.)which brings about mentality formation in a driver when executing notices being different respectively according to the running conditions such as car speed and prime mover revolution number, etc. CONSTITUTION:A running condition detecting device 10 which includes a speed detecting device 11, an engine revolution number detecting device 12, time and hour detecting device 13 and other detecting device is provided and its output signal is input to a judging device 20. And an instructive output is issued to a notice output device 30 according to the running condition judged in this judging device 20. This notice output device 30 is constituted in such a way that a notice voice, etc. which is recorded in a magnetic tape 32, etc. is reproduced through a magnetic head 31 and voiced from a speaker 33. As a notice voice, etc., for example, a word to decelerate the car speed with the voice of family or immediate family, a slip sound of the tyre at an accident occurrence or a siren of the emergency automobile following it is used.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Purpose of the Invention) (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a system that notifies the driver of an automobile, etc. according to the driving situation, and in particular relates to a system that provides direct auditory notification. The present invention relates to a new vehicle notification system which is implemented by means that can be used in a variety of ways, and which involves psychological formation of the driver.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, warnings such as excessive speed while driving in automobiles have been issued by sounding a chime or a buzzer.

However, conventional methods merely notify the driver that the vehicle has exceeded a certain speed, making it difficult for the driver to actively try to slow down.

(Point of View of the Present Invention) The present invention has been made in view of certain limitations of the prior art. Based on the idea that accidents caused by overspeeding, for example, can be more effectively prevented if drivers are psychologically encouraged to proactively take corresponding driving measures, the following vehicle This is an attempt to develop a notification system for

(Structure of the Invention) Means for Achieving the Objectives) That is, the vehicle notification system of the present invention provides different notifications to the driver depending on the driving conditions such as the speed of the vehicle and the rotational speed of the prime mover. This notification is characterized by being audible and carried out by a means that involves psychological formation of the driver, thereby achieving the above-mentioned purpose.

In other words, by adopting this configuration, for example, the voices of the driver's family, close relatives, etc. can be recorded in advance as one of the notification means, and this voice can be directly recorded when, for example, excessive speed occurs. By regenerating the information, the driver will become aware of the psychological deterrent force even in the event of a dangerous situation, and will be able to take proactive safety measures.

<Embodiments> The present invention will be specifically explained below based on illustrated embodiments.A specific configuration of the present invention is a driving situation detection device 10.
This system is constituted by a device including a discriminating device 20 and a notification output device 30. First, the driving condition detection device 10 detects various driving conditions of the vehicle and inputs the output to the discrimination device 20. Specifically, it detects the speed detection device 11, the engine rotation detection device 12, and the time/time detection device. The device 13 and the like are constituted by any device or an appropriate combination thereof. and discrimination device 20
determines the situation from the driving situation detection device lO,
A corresponding command output is output to the notification output device 30.

This notification output device 30 is for reproducing notification audio etc. recorded on a magnetic tape or the like, and for example, a magnetic head 3.
1, a corresponding magnetic tape 32, and a speaker 33. Of course, in addition to the magnetic tape 32, a recording disk or tape on which digital signals are recorded can be used to reproduce audio.

A specific example of this system will be described below.

i) Announcement according to speed conditions It is said that many of the causes of vehicle accidents are due to excessive speed, and since preventing excessive speed in advance will actively help prevent accidents, the If this continues for a certain period of time, for example, several seconds or more, the discriminating device 20 determines the situation, shifts the magnetic head 31 accordingly, switches the recording track on the magnetic tape 32 as appropriate, and alerts the driver by, for example, the voice of a close relative. Play an announcement sound that directly reduces the vehicle speed. Furthermore, if the speed exceeds that speed, for example, in addition to the sound, the speaker 33 outputs the sound of tires slipping at the time of an accident, the siren sound of an emergency vehicle, etc.

By doing so, the driver will directly sense overspeeding and the dangers caused by it as a psychological deterrent, and will actively try to slow down on his own will.

Of course, a situation in which the vehicle is running steadily within the speed limit may be detected and a voice notification urging the vehicle to maintain the current driving condition may be provided.In other words, an appropriate notification may be made depending on the driving condition.

ii) Notice regarding rough driving, etc. When driving becomes rough, for example due to drunk driving, the engine speed is often high in proportion to the vehicle speed. If the situation is extreme, a warning voice will be output as a warning signal to deter such rough driving.

iii) Announcements according to time and time For example, in the case of professional drivers who are forced to drive late at night, a warning to encourage sleep may be issued at a predetermined time, or when continuous driving for a certain period of time occurs. Outputs an audio signal that prompts the user to take a break. Of course, as mentioned above, it is most effective to record the voices of people close to you and then sketch them.

When constructing such a specific device constituting the system of the present invention, many devices already have a function to detect the conditions of an automobile's automatic transmission, engine ignition, fuel injection system, etc. from,
Recording that is directly output using these devices can also be configured by simply adding a few new equipment such as a playback function.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is intended to form the psychology of drivers so that they can respond accordingly by means of a regular notification according to the driving situation of the automobile, etc. This contributes to safer driving.
