DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ONCOMING CARS
First Claim
1. A mirror which monitors abnormal behavior to avoid a head-on collision, the mirror comprising:
- a mirror placed on a driver side of a first vehicle operated by a first driver;
a camera placed on the mirror on the driver side of the first vehicle wherein the camera films eyes of a second vehicle driver of a second vehicle coming in a different direction on a road;
an eye recognition analyzer for monitoring characteristics of the second vehicle driver wherein the eye recognition analyzer detects if any movement of the eyes is found to exceed a pre-determined threshold value;
a machine that recognizes a feature of the second vehicle using the camera when the characteristics are found by the analyzer; and
a notification component in the first vehicle for notifying the first driver about the second vehicle.

Abstract
A device, a system, and/or a method are provided for monitoring the eye behavior of drivers of oncoming cars. A camera mounted to a car mirror may monitor the eyes of oncoming drivers. An eye recognition analyzer may recognize nystagmus symptoms exhibited by the oncoming drivers. A machine may recognize the license plate information of the oncoming cars. The license plate numbers, as well as other identifying features of the oncoming cars, may be displayed on a head-up display of a car. A driver of the car may be otherwise notified by an alarm and/or warning about the possibility of a dangerous, oncoming car. An emitter located on the car may emit signals to other nearby networked cars in order to warn their drivers about the dangerous oncoming car. Information regarding the dangerous oncoming car may be displayed on the head-up displays of the other nearby networked cars.

11. A method of identifying oncoming dangerous vehicles comprising:
-
providing a camera mounted to a first vehicle driven by a first driver; filming, with the camera, video of eyes of a second driver of an oncoming second vehicle; analyzing, using software, the video to determine if the eyes of the second driver exhibit abnormal behavior; and notifying the first driver if the second driver is determined to exhibit abnormal behavior. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for monitoring eye behavior of oncoming drivers, the system comprising:
-
a mirror placed on a driver side of a first vehicle operated by a first driver; a camera placed on the mirror on the driver side of the first vehicle wherein the camera films video of a second vehicle driver of a second vehicle coming in a different direction on a road; an analyzer for recognizing abnormal behavior of the second vehicle driver wherein the analyzer compares images from the video to detect if any movement of the eyes is found to exceed a pre-determined threshold value; a machine that recognizes a feature of the second vehicle using the camera when abnormal behavior is found by the analyzer; and a notification component for warning the first driver about the second vehicle. a receiver placed in the first vehicle for receiving information from other vehicles about the abnormal behavior; an emitter that sends warning signals to alert the other vehicles wherein the warning signals comprise the feature of the second vehicle; and an alarm device that alarms the first driver if the second vehicle has demonstrated abnormal behavior. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
