Driver rest recommendation
First Claim
1. A driver state monitoring (DSM) system comprising:
- a sensing unit configured to sense biological information of a user of a vehicle; and
a controller configured to;
determine a drowsy state of the user based on the sensed biological information;
determine a traffic condition to a destination;
output information recommending rest for the user based on the determined drowsy state of the user and the determined traffic condition to the destination;
monitor the traffic condition to the destination and a rest state of the user based on the user stopping the vehicle in accordance with the information recommending rest;
generate a time at which to output an alarm based on monitoring the traffic condition to the destination and the rest state of the user; and
output the alarm at the generated time.

Abstract
Methods and systems for monitoring a driver of a vehicle using a driver state monitoring (DSM) system. The DSM system includes a sensing unit that senses biological information of a user of a vehicle. The DSM system also includes a controller that determines a drowsy state of the user based on the sensed biological information. The controller also determines a current condition of traffic and outputs information recommending rest for the user based on the determined drowsy state of the user and the determined current condition of traffic. The controller monitors the traffic and determines a rest state of the user, and outputs an alarm based on monitoring the traffic and the determined rest state of the user.

20. A control method of a driver state monitoring (DSM) system, the method comprising:
-
sensing biological information of a user of a vehicle, and determining a drowsy state of the user based on the sensed biological information; determining a traffic condition to a destination; outputting information recommending rest for the user based on the determined drowsy state of the user and the traffic condition to the destination; monitoring the traffic condition to the destination and a rest state of the user based on the user stopping the vehicle to take a rest in accordance with the information recommending rest; generating a time at which to output an alarm based on monitoring the traffic condition to the destination and the rest state of the user; and outputting the alarm at the generated time.
