Systems and methods for recognizing and analyzing emotional states of a vehicle operator
First Claim
1. A system for recognizing and analyzing emotional states of a plurality of vehicle operators, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to measure physiological emotional data indicating an emotional state of a plurality of operators of one or more vehicles;
a transceiver in communication with the one or more sensors, the transceiver configured to transmit the measured physiological emotional data to a computing cloud or other computing device;
an analysis module in communication with the transceiver and the computing cloud or other computing device, the analysis module being configured to;
receive the measured physiological emotional data;
compare the measured physiological emotional data against one or more preexisting patterns of stored physiological emotional data to determine the emotional state of each of the plurality of operators;
generate an alarm if a selected condition is satisfied; and
transmit the determined emotional states and generated alarms to a control station;
a control station located off-board the one or more vehicles and in communication with each of the one or more vehicles via the computing cloud or other computing device, the control station configured to;
receive the determined emotional states and generated alarms of each of the plurality of operators; and
display, simultaneously on a dashboard, the emotional states and generated alarms of each of the plurality of operators using the system at a given time.

Abstract
A system is disclosed for reducing the likelihood of vehicle accidents, particularly accidents involving large commercial vehicles, such as aircraft. The system includes one or more wearable electronic devices worn by a vehicle operator, such as a pilot. Physiological emotional data is measured by the wearable device(s) and transmitted to a computing cloud or other computing device for analysis and comparison with a predictive model for indicating the emotional state of the operator. When an unsafe emotional state is detected, an alarm notification is generated and transmitted to an appropriate group of users for resolution.

12. A method for recognizing and analyzing emotional states of a plurality of vehicle operators, comprising:
-
receiving, from one or more vehicles, measured physiological emotional data indicating an emotional state of a plurality of operators of the one or more vehicles; comparing the measured physiological emotional data against one or more preexisting patterns of stored physiological emotional data to determine the emotional state of each of the plurality of operators; generating an alarm if comparing the measured physiological emotional data against the one or more preexisting patterns results in a selected condition being satisfied; transmitting the determined emotional states and generated alarms of each of the plurality of operators to a control station located off-board the one or more vehicles, the control station comprising a dashboard for displaying simultaneously the emotional states and generated alarms of each of the plurality of operators simultaneously operating one of the one or more vehicles at a given time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for recognizing and analyzing emotional states of a plurality of vehicle operators, comprising:
-
a control station in communication with one or more vehicles via a communication module, the control station located off-board the one or more vehicles and comprising a dashboard configured to display simultaneously an emotional state of a plurality of operators, the plurality of operators each operating one of the one or more vehicles, wherein each of the plurality of operators having a wearable electronic device with sensors configured for monitoring physiological data indicating the emotional state of each of the plurality of operators during operation of the one or more vehicles; and a computing cloud or other computing device in communication with the control station and having a cloud node located on-board each of the one or more vehicles, wherein the computing cloud is configured to collect emotional score data from each of the plurality of operators and compile an emotional score database over time, the database being configured to generate predictive models for unsafe emotional states to determine the emotional state of the plurality of operators, wherein the control station is configured to generate and display a suitable alarm signal when an unsafe emotional state is detected for each of the plurality of operators. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
