1 is a view showing a behavior inducing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention provides a behavior inducing apparatus and method for inducing an action according to a driving situation of a vehicle to prevent a safety accident of a user (ex, a child) on a vehicle (ex, school bus). For children, judgment is simple, impatient, and there is a high possibility of accidents occurring when getting on and off of a vehicle as well as when riding on a driving vehicle due to insufficient attention. The present invention provides a behavior inducing apparatus and method for reducing occurrence of safety accidents by inducing children's actions by providing various visual information and hearing information according to a driving situation of a vehicle to prevent such safety accidents of children.

1 (a) is a view showing a side view of the action induction device 100, (b) is a view showing a front view. Referring to FIG. 1, the behavior induction device 100 of the present invention may include a display window 110, a speaker 120, and a processor (not shown). The processor may control the color and shape displayed on the display window 110 in response to a user's action required according to the driving situation of the vehicle.

Specifically, the driving situation of the vehicle may include when the vehicle is driving and when the user in the vehicle is getting on and off because the vehicle is stopped. At this time, the processor may induce the user's action by controlling the display window 110 to express different colors and shapes for each of the driving situations of the vehicle.

As an example, when a vehicle is driving, if a user in the vehicle wakes up from a seat, it may be greatly damaged when an accident occurs. Therefore, the behavior induction device 100 needs to induce the user in the vehicle so that it does not occur in the seat. To this end, the processor may display a red color having a warning meaning on the display window 110 in order to induce the user not to get out of the seat in the driving vehicle.

On the other hand, when the user in the vehicle gets on and off, if the user in the vehicle gets on and off while the vehicle is not completely stopped, there is a possibility of injury due to an unexpected accident. Therefore, the action induction device 100 needs to induce a user in the vehicle to get on and off in a situation in which the vehicle is completely stopped. To this end, the processor may display a blue color having a meaning of safety on the display window 110 when the vehicle is completely stopped to induce the user to get on and off in a situation where the vehicle is completely stopped.

In this way, the action induction device 100 may display different colors through the display window 110 according to each driving situation to induce the actions of the user in the vehicle to prevent the occurrence of a safety accident in advance. However, the color displayed on the display window 110 according to each driving situation is not limited to the above example and may be displayed in various ways depending on the situation.

As another example, when the vehicle is driving, the processor may display an X (X) having a warning meaning on the display window 110 in order to induce the user not to get out of the seat in the driving vehicle. Unlike this, in order to induce the user to get on and off in a situation where the vehicle is completely stopped, a circle O having a meaning of safety may be displayed on the display window 110 when the vehicle is completely stopped.

In this way, the action inducing device 100 may display a different shape through the display window 110 according to each driving situation to induce the action of the user in the vehicle to prevent the occurrence of a safety accident in advance. However, the shape displayed on the display window 110 according to each driving situation is not limited to the above example and may be displayed in various ways depending on the situation.

On the other hand, when the vehicle is traveling at a high speed or when another vehicle or the like approaches the vehicle, the risk of an accident increases, it is necessary to focus on the attention of users in the vehicle to promote safety. To this end, the processor may control the properties of the color displayed on the display window 110 or change its shape based on the speed of the vehicle and the risk according to the surrounding situation.

For example, when the vehicle is driving at a high speed, the processor may focus the attention of users in the vehicle by increasing the intensity of a red color having a warning meaning or blinking the display window 110. Alternatively, when the vehicle moves at a high speed, the processor may induce the user to hold an adjacent handle by changing the X (X)-shaped display on the display window 110 to a handle shape.

As another example, when another vehicle approaches or a bicycle, a motorcycle, or the like is detected in the vicinity of a vehicle in which the user in the vehicle is getting on and off, the processor is a yellow song having a meaning of attention on the display window 110 so that the user briefly looks around when getting on and off. Color can be displayed. At this time, the processor may control the intensity and flicker of the yellow color displayed through the display window 110 in proportion to the distance to other vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles approaching the vicinity of the vehicle. That is, as other vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles get closer to the vehicle on and off, the processor may induce the user's attention by increasing the intensity of the yellow color displayed on the display window 110 or blinking rapidly.

On the other hand, the processor controls the display 120 to display different colors and shapes according to the driving situation of the vehicle in order to effectively induce the user's action in the vehicle, and at the same time, provides a speaker 120 to provide an auditory effect. Can be controlled. For example, in order to safely get on and off the user in the vehicle, when the vehicle is completely stopped, the user in the vehicle can safely get on and off by controlling the speaker 120 to output a voice related to getting on and off or to output music having a soft melody. Can help.

On the other hand, when a user in the vehicle approaches another vehicle near the vehicle being on or off, or when a bicycle, motorcycle, etc. is detected, the processor controls the speaker 120 to output an external hazard through voice or to output a warning sound. By inducing the user's attention in the vehicle, it can help prevent safety accidents.

2 is a view showing a first installation example of the behavior induction device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The action inducing device 100 may be installed in various places inside the vehicle so that all users are easily seen in order to induce the action of the user in the vehicle. As mentioned above, the action inducing device 100 may be used to induce actions of users in the vehicle, that is, children, to prevent a safety accident.

However, the driver may also have necessary information to prevent a vehicle accident. For example, when children sit in a seat in a vehicle, a driver may have difficulty determining whether a child is sitting in a rear seat due to the height of the corresponding seat. If there is a child in the seat, but there is a possibility that the child will be left alone in the vehicle if there is no awareness in advance.

In order to prevent such a safety accident, the behavior induction device 100 may collect information necessary for the prevention of a safety accident in conjunction with a plurality of sensors mounted on a vehicle. In addition, the behavior inducing apparatus 100 may prevent a possible safety accident by providing the collected information to the driver.

Specifically, the behavior induction device 100 may identify whether a child exists in a corresponding seat through a seat sensor (eg, a pressure-sensitive sensor) or a seat belt sensor mounted on the seat of the vehicle. The behavior inducing apparatus 100 may help the driver to more effectively recognize children in the vehicle by providing the identified information to the driver.

For example, when a vehicle arrives at a destination and users in the vehicle get off, the behavior inducing device 100 informs the driver of the presence or absence of the children identified through the seat sensor or the seat belt sensor, thereby allowing the child inside the vehicle. Accidents that are left unattended can be prevented.

In addition, the behavior inducing device 100 may control the presence or absence of a child in the vehicle and the opening and closing of the driver's seat door in a situation in which children in the vehicle get off. For example, when it is identified that a child is present inside the vehicle in a disembarking situation, the processor may induce a driver's attention by controlling the driver's door to not be opened.

3 is a view showing an example of application of the behavior induction device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As mentioned above, the action induction device 100 may induce a user's action by interworking with various sensors mounted on the vehicle. For example, the action induction device 100 outputs a warning voice through the speaker 120 when it is recognized that the user has occurred through the pressure-sensitive sensor mounted on the seat when the vehicle is driving, as shown in FIG. 3(a). By doing so, the user can be encouraged to sit in the seat again.

Alternatively, the action induction device 100 outputs a warning voice through the speaker 120 when it is recognized that the seat belt is released through the seat belt sensor mounted on the seat when the vehicle is driving, as shown in FIG. 3(b). It can induce the user to fasten the seat belt again.

As described above, the behavior inducing apparatus 100 of the present invention has an advantage of preventing a safety accident that may occur due to the user's carelessness by inducing the user's behavior by interworking with various sensors mounted on the vehicle. At this time, in the above example, a configuration using the speaker 120 is presented to induce the user's action, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the user is more effectively used by using the display window 110 or simultaneously using the display window 110 and the speaker 120. Can induce actions.

4 is a view showing a second installation example of the behavior inducing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The above-described FIG. 2 can be used to induce the behavior of a user inside the vehicle, that is, a driver and children by installing the behavior induction device 100 inside the vehicle. In addition, the behavior inducing apparatus 100 of the present invention is installed on the outside of the vehicle to provide information about the on and off of the vehicle to users outside the vehicle, that is, children before boarding the vehicle and other vehicles passing around the vehicle.

For example, the processor may control the display window 110 and the speaker 120 so as to provide information of getting on and off of the vehicle by interlocking with the rear warning light of the existing vehicle when children inside the vehicle get off or children outside the vehicle get on. have.

Meanwhile, an accident caused by a child being located at the rear of a vehicle is one of the important types of child safety accidents. Recently, in order to prevent an accident, a method is used in which a driver detects the rear of the vehicle by installing a rear sensor and a surveillance camera of the vehicle. However, the most effective way to prevent safety accidents may be to induce children not to be located behind the vehicle.

Therefore, the processor is installed on the rear of the vehicle as shown in Figure 4 to recognize the child present in the rear of the vehicle by interlocking with the rear sensor of the vehicle, if it is recognized that the child exists in the rear of the vehicle, the display window 110 ) And the speaker 120 to alert the child to induce the child to escape from the rear of the vehicle by himself.

At the same time, when it is recognized that a child is present at the rear of the vehicle, the processor is interlocked with the behavior inducing apparatus 100 inside the vehicle installed at the closest distance from the driver to display the rear situation of the vehicle. ) To help drivers prevent safety accidents.
