OCCUPANT PROTECTION DEVICE
First Claim
1. An occupant protection device, comprising:
- an input signal acquisition unit for acquiring acceleration signals or angular velocity signals from sensors installed in a vehicle;
a digital signal processing unit for generating an output signal in a time series of the acceleration signals or angular velocity signals composed of consecutive first, second and third intervals including a plurality of points by changing a multiplication factor of the second interval in comparison with the first and third intervals; and
a status determination unit for determining a collision or rollover of the vehicle based on the output signal.
