Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the dozy or inattentive driving state and allow the safety driving by converting the light signal of a light receiver monitoring eyes into an electric signal, inputting it to a processing device together with the speed of a vehicle, and identifying the direction, visual field, and opening degree of the eyes. CONSTITUTION:A light collecting and receiving unit 1 collects the light with a lens and has a light receiving element such as a CCD or a photo-diode, this output is converted into an electric signal by a block 2, it is then converted into a digital signal by an AD converter 3 and inputted to a computer 4. Next, a judging unit judges whether eyes are facing forward correctly, and the drift of the eyes from the forward normal center line is identified depending on whether the eye direction is apart from the forward normal center line by a fixed value or more. The car speed and the visual field are recognized and whether they are fixed values or more is judged, then whether the opening degree of eyes is a fixed value or more is judged. If at least one of three recognitions and judgments deviates from the normal range and the deviation time is a fixed value or longer, then warning and display are given. If the time of the warning and display exceeds a fixed period, a brake is slowly applied automatically for deceleration.

The above purpose is to install an optical receiver that can monitor the driver's eyes in front of the driver's seat, convert this optical signal into an electrical signal, input it to a processing device along with the speed of the car, and use this processing device to determine the direction of the driver's eyes. This is achieved by identifying how far away from the normal direction the vehicle is ahead, whether the field of view estimated from the speed of the car and the direction of the eyes is in a range that can sufficiently capture information ahead, and whether the eyes are wide enough. be done.

Fig. 2 shows the judgment unit, which judges whether the eyes are facing forward in the correct direction. The deviation of the eye from the normal front center line can be determined by whether or not it is more than a certain range away from the normal front center line. It also recognizes the vehicle's speed and field of view and determines whether it is above a certain range.
