Drive support apparatus for a movable body
First Claim
1. A drive support apparatus for a movable body, comprising:
- a driving state detecting portion for acquiring driving state information comprising at least either information about a traveling situation of the movable body or information about a driving operation of a driver, from a sensor provided in the movable body during a drive of the movable body;
a driver information storing portion for storing awareness information that represents a digitized awareness of the driver with respect to safe driving;
an interaction controlling portion for deciding whether or not to start an interaction with the driver depending on whether the driving state information and the awareness information satisfy a predetermined interaction-start conditions, generating a question for checking the awareness of the driver with respect to safe driving in a case of a decision that the interaction should be started, outputting the generated question as a synthesized voice, recognizing an answer content from a voice of the driver to the question, generating advice for safe driving to the answer, and outputting the generated advice as a synthesized voice; and
an awareness information generating portion for updating the awareness information in accordance with the answer content recognized by the interaction controlling portion.

Abstract
A drive support apparatus that performs an interaction with a driver with respect to awareness of safe driving so as to make the driver drive safely. The drive support apparatus includes: a driving state detecting portion for acquiring driving state information including at least either information about a traveling situation of the movable body or information about a driving operation from an in-vehicle sensor; a driver information storing portion for storing awareness information representing digitized awareness of the driver with respect to safe driving; an interaction controlling portion for generating a question for checking the driver'"'"'s awareness with respect to safe driving when the driving state information and the awareness information satisfy predetermined interaction-start conditions, outputting the question as a synthesized voice, and recognizing an answer content from a voice of the driver to the question; and an awareness information generating portion for updating the awareness information in accordance with the answer content recognized by the interaction controlling portion.

10. A recording medium on which a program is recorded, and the program allows a computer to execute:
-
a driving state detection procedure for acquiring driving state information comprising at least either information about a traveling situation of the movable body or information about a driving operation of the driver, from a sensor provided in the movable body during a drive of the movable body; an interaction control procedure for referring to a driver information storing portion that stores awareness information representing digitized awareness of the driver with respect to safe driving, deciding whether or not to start an interaction with the driver depending on whether the driving state information and the awareness information satisfy the interaction-start conditions, generating a question for checking the awareness of the driver with respect to safe driving in a case of decision that the interaction should be started, outputting the generated question as a synthesized voice, recognizing an answer content from a voice of the driver to the question, generating advice for safe driving to the answer, and outputting the advice as a synthesized voice; and awareness information generation procedure for updating the awareness information in accordance with the answer content recognized through the interaction control procedure.
