Apparatus detecting driving incapability state of driver
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus detecting driving incapability state of a driver, the apparatus comprising:
- an imaging device that is mounted on a vehicle and is configured to capture a driver'"'"'s seat;
a memory storing a head detection portion and a shake detection portion; and
a processor executing the head detection portion and the shake detection portion stored in the memory, whereinthe head detection portion detects a head of the driver based on an image of the driver'"'"'s seat captured by the imaging device, andthe shake detection portion detects the driver is incapable of driving when an amplitude of a shake of the head detected by the head detection portion is smaller than a first amplitude or larger than a second amplitude, which is larger than the first amplitude, before a shake determination time elapses after external force has been applied to the vehicle during travel of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to be safely stopped in a case where it is determined that the driver is incapable of driving.

Abstract
An apparatus detecting driving incapability state of a driver includes: a head detection portion that detects a head of the driver based on an image of a driver'"'"'s seat captured by an imaging device mounted on a vehicle; and a shake detection portion that detects the driver is incapable of driving when an amplitude of a shake of the head detected by the head detection portion is smaller than a first amplitude or larger than a second amplitude, which is larger than the first amplitude, before a shake determination time elapses after external force has been applied to the vehicle during travel of the vehicle.
