1. A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of improving safety of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a first set of image data from a first image sensor located at a first location within the vehicle;
analyzing, by a computer processor, the first set of image data from the first image sensor to (i) identify an individual located within the vehicle, and (ii) determine that the individual is not in a condition suitable to operate the vehicle;
after analyzing the first set of image data to determine that the individual is not in the condition suitable to operate the vehicle;
receiving a second set of image data from a second image sensor located at a second location different from the first location within the vehicle, andanalyzing the second set of image data from the second image sensor to corroborate the determination that the individual is not in the condition suitable to operate the vehicle;
in response to analyzing the second set of image data from the second image sensor, generating a notification including (i) information associated with the analysis of at least one of the first set of image data from the first image sensor and the second set of image data from the second image sensor, and (ii) additional information identifying a set of risks associated with continued operation of the vehicle; and
causing the notification to be displayed on the electronic device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for improving vehicular safety are provided. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may receive and analyze image data depicting an individual located within a vehicle. The electronic device may also access certain data related to a condition of the individual, and may accordingly determine whether the individual is fit to operate the vehicle. If the individual is unfit to operate the vehicle, the electronic device may generate and display a notification that warns of the dangers of operating the vehicle and encourages the individual to not operate the vehicle.

6. A system in an electronic device for improving safety of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a user interface; a memory configured to store non-transitory computer executable instructions; and a processor configured to interface with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the non-transitory computer executable instructions to cause the processor to; receive a first set of image data from a first image sensor located at a first location within the vehicle, analyze the first set of image data from the first image sensor to (i) identify an individual located within the vehicle, and (ii) determine that the individual is not in a condition suitable to operate the vehicle, after analyzing the first set of image data to determine that the individual is not in the condition suitable to operate the vehicle; receive a second set of image data from a second image sensor located at a second location different from the first location within the vehicle, and analyze the second set of image data from the second image sensor to corroborate the determination that the individual is not in the condition suitable to operate the vehicle, in response to analyzing the second set of image data from the second image sensor, generate a notification including (i) information associated with the analysis of at least one of the first set of image data from the first image sensor and the second set of image data from the second image sensor, and (ii) additional information identifying a set of risks associated with continued operation of the vehicle, and cause the user interface to display the notification. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored therein that when executed cause a machine to:
-
receive a first set of image data from a first image sensor located at a first location within a vehicle, analyze the first set of image data from the first image sensor to (i) identify an individual located within the vehicle, and (ii) determine that the individual is not in a condition suitable to operate the vehicle, after analyzing the first set of image data to determine that the individual is not in the condition suitable to operate the vehicle; receive a second set of image data from a second image sensor located at a second location different from the first location within the vehicle, and analyze the second set of image data from the second image sensor to corroborate the determination that the individual is not in the condition suitable to operate the vehicle, in response to analyzing the second set of image data from the second image sensor, generate a notification including (i) information associated with the analysis of at least one of the second set of image data from the second image sensor and the first set of image data from the first image sensor, and (ii) additional information identifying a set of risks associated with continued operation of the vehicle, and cause the user interface to display the notification. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
