Alarm system, alarm control apparatus and alarm control program
First Claim
1. An alarm system comprising:
- a behavior detecting module for detecting an abnormal behavior from behaviors of an operator sitting on an operation seat of a vehicle;
a distance measuring module for measuring a moving distance of said vehicle while the abnormal behavior of the operator continues to be detected by said behavior detecting module;
a hazard state judging module for judging that a state is a hazard state when the moving distance measured by said distance measuring module exceeds a threshold value; and
an alarm output module for outputting an alarm when said hazard state judging module judges that the state is the hazard state.

Abstract
An alarm system includes a miniature camera (10), a loudspeaker (20), a vehicle speed sensor (30), a longitudinal G sensor (40), a lateral G sensor (50) and an on-vehicle unit (60). A CPU (60a) of the on-vehicle unit (60) executes respective programs (61)-(64) in a ROM (60h), thereby outputting, if a traveling distance during a period for which a driver D continues to take an abnormal behavior exceeds a predetermined value when a traveling state of an automobile is kept stable, an alarm corresponding to a magnitude of the excess over the predetermined value from the loudspeaker (20). The alarm system is thus configured and is therefore capable of exactly outputting the alarm when a danger actually rises.

19. An alarm control apparatus incorporated into a vehicle having an operation seat on which an operator sits when operating, and connected to a speed sensor for measuring a moving speed of the vehicle, an imaging device for imaging the operator and an output device, said alarm control appratus comprising:
-
a behavior detecting module for detecting an abnormal behavior of the operator from image data acquired from said imaging device;
a distance measuring module for measuring a moving distance of the vehicle while the abnormal behavior of the operator continues to be detected by said behavior detecting module on the basis of the moving speed acquired from said speed sensor;
a hazard state judging module for judging that a state is a hazard state when the moving distance measured by said distance measuring module exceeds a threshold value; and
an alarm output module for outputting an alarm to said output device when said hazard state judging module judges that the state is the hazard state.

20. A readable-by-computer medium stored with an alarm control program for making a computer incorporated into a vehicle having an operation seat on which an operator sits when operating, and connected to a speed sensor for measuring a moving speed of the vehicle, an imaging device for imaging the operator and an output device, execute:
-
a behavior detecting step of detecting an abnormal behavior of the operator from image data acquired from said imaging device;
a distance measuring step of measuring a moving distance of the vehicle while the abnormal behavior of the operator continues to be detected on the basis of the moving speed acquired from said speed sensor;
a hazard state judging step of judging that a state is a hazard state when the moving distance obtained by the measurement exceeds a threshold value; and
an alarm outputting step of outputting an alarm to said output device only when judging that the state is the hazard state.
