Patent Images
1. A driver mental condition information system comprising:
- a physiological data detector which detects physiological data of a driver of a vehicle,a mental condition calculator which calculates a mental condition of the driver as a mental condition evaluation value in accordance with the physiological data,an evaluation threshold value setting device which sets a threshold value for evaluating the mental condition of the driver, andan indicator which indicates the mental condition of the driver using the mental condition evaluation value along with the threshold value,a mental condition evaluation device which compares the mental condition evaluation value with the threshold value to evaluate the mental condition of the driver, anda self-location detector which detects a self-location of the vehicle,wherein said indicator displays the mental condition of the driver as a warning and further indicates a nearest service area when the mental condition of the driver is detected as a predetermined condition by said mental condition evaluation device.

11. A method for displaying a driver'"'"'s mental condition comprising:
-
detecting physiological data of a driver of a vehicle, calculating a mental condition of the driver as a mental condition evaluation value in accordance with the physiological data, setting a threshold value for evaluating of the mental condition of the driver, and indicating the mental condition of the driver using the mental condition evaluation value along with the threshold values, comparing the mental condition evaluation value with the threshold value to evaluate the mental condition of the driver, and detecting a self-location of the vehicle, wherein when the mental condition of the driver is detected as a predetermined condition, the mental condition of the driver is displayed as a warning and further a nearest service area is indicated in the indicating step.
