First Claim
1. An awareness support device comprising:
- an awareness level reduction detection unit configured to detect a reduction in a driver'"'"'s awareness level based on vehicle information on a vehicle driven by the driver;
an awareness level recovery detection unit configured to detect a recovery from the reduction in the driver'"'"'s awareness level based on the vehicle information; and
an interaction processing unit configured to;
start an output of an interactive voice used for interaction with the driver when the awareness level reduction detection unit detects the reduction in the driver'"'"'s awareness level; and
terminate the output of the interactive voice when the awareness level recovery detection unit detects the recovery from the reduction in the driver'"'"'s awareness level.
