Method, System, and Computer Program Product for Monitoring a Driver of a Vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
- receiving a state of the driver;
receiving one or more objects of a real environment model of the vehicle;
generating one or more objects of an envisioned environment model of the driver based on the one or more objects of the real environment model of the vehicle and the state of the driver, wherein, if the state of the driver indicates that at least one sense of the driver sensed a particular object of the real environment model, the particular object of the real environment model is added to the envisioned environment model; and
updating the one or more objects of the envisioned environment model based on the state of the driver, wherein the one or more objects of the envisioned environment model are updated by a physics engine if the state of the driver indicates that the driver is prevented from sensing the one or more objects of the real environment model.

Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring a driver of a vehicle, the method receives a state of the driver; receives one or more objects of a real environment model of the vehicle; generates one or more objects of an envisioned environment model of the driver based on the one or more objects of the real environment model of the vehicle and the state of the driver, wherein, if the state of the driver indicates that at least one sense of the driver sensed a particular object of the real environment model, the particular object of the real environment model is added to the envisioned environment model; and updates the one or more objects of the envisioned environment model based on the state of the driver, wherein the one or more objects of the envisioned environment model are updated by a physics engine if the state of the driver indicates that the driver is prevented from sensing the one or more objects of the real environment model.

9. A system for monitoring a driver of a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a processor, a memory, instructions stored within the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed on the processor, cause the system to; receive a state of the driver; receive one or more objects of a real environment model of the vehicle; generate one or more objects of an envisioned environment model of the driver based on the one or more objects of the real environment model of the vehicle and the state of the driver, wherein, if the state of the driver indicates that at least one sense of the driver sensed a particular object of the real environment model, the particular object of the real environment model is added to the envisioned environment model; and update the one or more objects of the envisioned environment model based on the state of the driver, wherein the one or more objects of the envisioned environment model are updated by a physics engine if the state of the driver indicates that the driver is prevented from sensing the one or more objects of the real environment model. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
