Abstract

A driving safety controlling method is provided. The controlling method is running on a wearable device, a smart key and a vehicle. The control controlling method comprises steps: obtaining sensing data stored in a first storage unit of the wearable device; obtaining a unique identifier stored in a second storage unit of the smart key and controlling a first wireless communication unit of the smart key to transmit a high-frequency signal containing the unique identifier and the sensing data to the vehicle; obtaining a predefined identifier and a range from a third storage unit of the vehicle, comparing the unique identifier with the predefined identifier, and comparing the sensing data with the range; and controlling a prompt unit to generate a prompting when the unique identifier is determined to match with the predefined identifier and the sensing data is within the range.

Claims

1. A driving safety controlling system, running on a wearable device, a smart key and a vehicle, the driving safety controlling system comprising:

a plurality of processing units; and

a plurality of modules coupled to the plurality of processing units, each of the plurality of modules including instructions to be executed by one or more of the plurality of processing units, the plurality of modules comprising;

an obtaining module configured to, upon execution by a processing unit of the wearable device, cause the processing unit of the wearable device to obtain sensing data stored in a first storage unit of the wearable device, wherein the sensing data is generated by a sense unit of the wearable device via sensing a user'"'"'s physiological status;

a submitting module configured to, upon execution by a processing unit of the wearable device, cause the processing unit of the wearable device to submit the sensing data to the smart key;

a transmitting module configured to, upon execution by a processing unit of the smart key, cause the processing unit of the smart key to obtain a unique identifier stored in a second storage unit of the smart key and control a first wireless communication unit of the smart key to transmit a high-frequency signal containing the unique identifier and the sensing data to the vehicle;

a determining module configured to, upon execution by a processing unit of the vehicle, cause the processing unit of the vehicle to obtain the unique identifier and the sensing data from the high-frequency signal, obtain a predefined identifier and a range from a third storage unit of the vehicle, compare the unique identifier with the predefined identifier, and compare the sensing data with the range; and

a prompting module configured to, upon execution by the processing unit of the wearable device, cause the processing unit of the vehicle to control a prompt unit of the vehicle to generate a prompting when the unique identifier is determined to match the predefined identifier and the sensing data is within the range.

2. The driving safety controlling system of claim 1, wherein the determining module is configured to not process any sensing data when the unique identifier is determined to not match the predefined identifier.

3. The driving safety controlling system of claim 1, wherein the prompting module is further configured to not control the prompt unit to generate a prompting when the unique identifier is determined to match the predefined identifier but the sensing data is not within the range.

4. The driving safety controlling system of claim 1, wherein the prompting can be selected from a group consisting of alarm prompting, voice prompting and light prompting.

5. The driving safety controlling system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of modules further comprises a matching module configured to match the wearable device with the smart key.

6. A driving safety controlling method, running on a wearable device, a smart key and a vehicle, the driving safety controlling method comprising:
