INTEGRATED DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An integrated driving assistance apparatus installed in a vehicle with a headlight, a turn signal light, and a side-view mirror, the integrated driving assistance apparatus comprising:
- a detector configured to detect whether the headlight and the turn signal light are turned on or off respectively;
an infrared emitter located on the side-view mirror, the infrared emitter irradiates infrared ray when the detector detects that the headlight is turned on;
an image sensor located on the side-view mirror for capturing an image of an area beside the vehicle; and
an image processor coupled to the image sensor and the detector, the image processor configured to receive and process the image to generate a warning signal;
wherein when the detector detects that the turn signal light is turned off, the image processor processes the image for a lane deviation alarm, and when the detector detects that the turn signal light is turned on, the image processor processes the image for a blind spot detection alarm.

Abstract
An integrated driving assistance apparatus is provided, which is installed in a vehicle with a headlight, a turn signal light, and a side-view mirror. The integrated driving assistance apparatus includes a detector, an infrared emitter, an image sensor, and an image processor. The detector is configured to detect whether the headlight and the turn signal light are turned on or off respectively. The infrared emitter is located on the side-view mirror and irradiates infrared rays when the detector detects that the headlight is turned on. The image sensor is located on the side-view mirror for capturing an image of an area beside the vehicle. The image processor is coupled to the image sensor and the detector and configured to receive and process the image to generate a warning signal. When the detector detects that the turn signal light is turned off, the image processor processes the image for a lane deviation alarm, and when the detector detects that the turn signal light is turned on, the image processor processes the image for a blind spot detection alarm.
