Abstract

A helmet with blind spot assistant function includes a helmet body, a gesture sensation unit, at least one camera unit, a display unit and a control unit. According to a gesture sensation signal generated by the gesture sensation unit, the control unit generates a control signal to control and activate the camera unit to generate video information for the display unit to display the video information. Accordingly, when a user wears the helmet, the user can keep watching the front side and at the same time observe the environmental condition in the blind spots so as to enhance the safety.

Claims

1. A helmet with blind spot assistant function, comprising:

a helmet body having a front side formed with an observation window;

a gesture sensation unit disposed on the helmet body for detecting the gesture of the helmet body to generate at least one gesture sensation signal;

at least one camera unit disposed in a certain position of the helmet body other than the observation window for generating video information;

a display unit disposed on the helmet body for displaying the video information generated by the camera unit; and

a control unit disposed on the helmet body and connected to the gesture sensation unit, the camera unit and the display unit, according to the gesture sensation signal, the control unit generating a control signal to control and activate the camera unit to generate the video information for the display unit to display the video information.

2. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 1, wherein a protection visor is correspondingly disposed at the observation window of the helmet body, the protection visor being transparent or semitransparent.

3. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 2, wherein the display unit has a projection unit for projecting the video information onto the protection visor.

4. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 2, wherein the display unit is a flexible display disposed on the protection visor.

5. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 1, wherein the gesture sensation unit has a gyroscope, an accelerometer and an electronic compass.

6. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 5, wherein according to the rotation of the helmet body, the gyroscope generates an angular velocity signal and transmits the angular velocity signal to the control unit.

7. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 5, wherein according to the linear motion of the helmet body, the accelerometer generates an acceleration signal and transmits the acceleration signal to the control unit.

8. The helmet with blind spot assistant function as claimed in claim 5, wherein according to the moving direction of the helmet body, the electronic compass generates a magnetic flux signal and transmits the magnetic flux signal to the control unit.
