DROWSINESS DETECTION METHOD AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE
First Claim
1. A drowsiness detection method, for performing a drowsiness detection operation on a detection target, the drowsiness detection method comprising a data collecting process, the data collecting process comprising:
- a) detecting first physiological symptom information of the detection target;
b) determining whether the detection target satisfies a predetermined drowsiness threshold condition according to the first physiological symptom information, and performing Step (c) if a result is affirmative;
c) triggering a stimulation event on the detection target;
d) after step (c), determining whether a response event triggered by the detection target in response to the stimulation event is detected;
e) determining whether the stimulation event satisfies a threshold strength condition when the response event is not detected; and
f) recording the first physiological symptom information as a drowsiness detection condition corresponding to the detection target when the stimulation event satisfies the threshold strength condition.

Abstract
A drowsiness detection method for detecting drowsiness of a detection target is provided. The method includes a data collecting process including steps of: detecting physiological symptom information of the detection target; determining whether the detection target satisfies a predetermined drowsiness threshold condition according to the physiological symptom information; when the detection target satisfies the predetermined drowsiness threshold condition, triggering a stimulation event on the detection target; determining whether a response event is received from the detection target in response to the stimulation event; when the response event is not received, determining whether the stimulation event satisfies a threshold strength condition; and recording the physiological symptom information as a corresponding drowsiness detection condition of the detection target when the stimulation event satisfies the threshold strength condition.

9. A drowsiness detection device, for performing a drowsiness detection operation on a detection target, comprising:
-
a detection/control circuit, for detecting first physiological symptom information of the detection target, determining whether the detection target satisfies a predetermined drowsiness threshold condition according to the first physiological symptom information, and further providing a driving signal when the detection target satisfies the predetermined drowsiness threshold condition; a stimulation triggering circuit, for triggering a stimulation event on the detection target in response to the driving signal; and a response circuit, for detecting a response event triggered by the detection target in response to the stimulation event, and accordingly providing a response signal; wherein, the detection/control circuit further detects whether the detection target correspondingly triggers the response event according to the response signal, determines whether the stimulation event satisfies a threshold strength condition when the response event is not detected, and records the first physiological symptom information as a drowsiness detection condition corresponding to the detection target when the stimulation event satisfies the threshold strength condition. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
