1. A method for detecting fatigue comprising the following steps:
- obtaining a plurality of physiological feature data of a user from a device in continuous time to generate a feature sequence;
computing a feature curve based on the feature sequence;
computing a rate of drop based on the feature curve;
determining whether a first condition is met, wherein the first condition is that the rate of drop is larger than a threshold for a first duration;
determining the fatigue level of the user depending on the first condition;
calculating a difference of rate of drops;
determining whether a second condition is met, wherein the second condition is that the difference falls within a threshold interval for a second duration; and
determining the fatigue level of the user depending on the first condition and the second condition, wherein a second warning message is generated when the first condition and the second condition are met.

Abstract
A method for detecting fatigue is provided herein. The present invention includes the following steps: measuring a plurality of physiological feature data from a user in continuous time to generate a feature sequence; computing the rate of drop and/or calculating the difference of the rate of drop based on the feature sequence; and determining the fatigue level of the user by analyzing the rate of drop and the difference of the rate of drop. A fatigue detecting device is also disclosed here. The present invention can be utilized to effectively monitor the fatigue level of the user.

10. A device for detecting fatigue comprising:
-
a measuring unit, for measuring a plurality of physiological feature data from a user in continuous time to generate a feature sequence; a memory unit, for storing the feature sequence; a computing unit electrically connected to the measuring unit and the memory unit, for computing a feature curve based on the feature sequence and computing a rate of drop based on the feature curve; and
the computing unit determining whether a first condition is met for obtaining a detection result of the fatigue level of the user, wherein the first condition is that the rate of drop is larger than the threshold for a first duration; andan output unit electrically connected to the computing unit, for outputting the detection result of the fatigue level; calculating a difference of the rate of drops; and determining whether a second condition is met, for obtaining the detection result of the fatigue level of the user, wherein the second condition is that the difference falls within a threshold interval for a second duration. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
