1. A method of alerting a vehicle'"'"'s driver, comprising:
- receiving a first set of image data capturing images from a driver'"'"'s perspective, the first set of image data captured by at least one image sensor coupled to a primary device placed on a driver and directed outwardly from the driver;
receiving a second set of image data, the second set of image data captured by a second device mounted on a vehicle driven by the driver capturing images from a perspective directed to a movement direction of the vehicle;
processing the first and second sets of image data to determine a comparison result, the comparison result determined according to image similarity between the first and second sets of image data by comparing objects captured in images of the first set of image data and objects captured in images of the second set of image data;
generating an alert according to the comparison result when the image similarity deviates from an image similarity threshold; and
automatically presenting the alert to the driver.

Abstract
A method of alerting a vehicle'"'"'s driver. The method comprises receiving an azimuth value indicating a gazing direction of a head of the driver from a primary device placed on the driver, receiving a vehicle bearing value indicating a vehicle moving direction of the vehicle driven by the driver, calculating an angular difference between the azimuth value and the vehicle bearing value, generating an alert when the angular difference deviates from an angular threshold, and automatically presenting the alert to the driver in response to the angular difference.

12. A system of alerting a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a wearable mount configured to be placed on a head of the driver for measuring head movements of the driver; at least one first image sensor coupled to the wearable mount, the first image sensor directing outwardly from the driver to capture images from a driver'"'"'s perspective; at least one second image sensor coupled to the vehicle and capturing images from a perspective directed to a movement direction of the vehicle; a processor configured to execute code instructions comprising; code instructions for receiving a first set of image data captured by the first image sensor; code instructions for receiving a second set of image data captured by the second image sensor; code instructions for processing the first and second sets of image data to determine a comparison result, the comparison result determined according to image similarity between the first and second sets of image data by comparing objects captured in images of the first set of image data and objects captured in images of the second set of image data; code instructions for generating an alert according to the comparison result; and code instructions for automatically presenting the alert to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
