SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALARMING FRONT IMPACT DANGER COUPLED WITH DRIVER VIEWING DIRECTION AND VEHICLE USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A system for alarming a front impact danger coupled with a driver viewing direction, comprising:
- a driver viewing direction recognition unit that recognizes a driver viewing direction;
an obstacle sensing unit that senses obstacles existing in directions that a driver does not view; and
an engine control unit that receives and analyzes driver face direction data from the driver viewing direction recognition unit to identify the driver viewing direction when the vehicle enters in crossroads, and that request the obstacle sensing unit to perform obstacle sensing for a direction opposite to the driver viewing direction and to analyze an obstacle sensing result.

Abstract
Featured are a system and a method for alarming a front impact danger coupled with a driver viewing direction and a vehicle Such a system includes: a driver viewing direction recognition unit recognizing a driver viewing direction; an obstacle sensing unit sensing obstacles existing in directions that a driver does not view; and an engine control unit. The engine control unit receives and analyzes the driver face direction data from the driver viewing direction recognition unit to identify the driver viewing direction when the vehicle enters in the crossroads, and requests the obstacle sensing unit perform obstacle sensing for another direction than the driver'"'"'s viewing direction and analyzes analyze an obstacle sensing result. Such methods advantageously warns a driver to the presence of obstacles when a vehicle enters in crossroads to prevent a traffic accident.
