| 20100324779 | ONBOARD UNIT CONTROLLING APPARATUS - When an occupant's sight line detected by sight line detector is directed to any one of multiple onboard units (a side mirror, a rear view mirror, a navigation system, an in-vehicle phone, an air blowout port, and a meter panel), a controller allows the onboard unit, to which the sight line is directed, to be operable. Thus, the occupant can select the onboard unit, which the occupant wishes to operate, by the sight line without using the hand and further can operate the onboard unit by use of a common steering switch, thereby enhancing the convenience of operation. In addition, a corresponding one of pilot lamps notifies the occupant that the corresponding one of the onboard units, to which the sight line is directed, is operable. Accordingly, the occupant can avoid operating a wrong onboard unit while reliably recognizing the operable onboard unit even if the multiple onboard units are arranged close to one another. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090090577 | ANTI-DRUNK DRIVING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - An anti-drunk driving apparatus for a vehicle including: an alcohol drinking determination device which determines whether or not a first person seated in a driver's seat is drunk; a driving restriction device which restricts driving of the vehicle in a case where it is determined that the first person seated in the driver's seat is drunk by the alcohol drinking determination device; a driving intention presumption device which presumes whether or not a second person seated in the driver's seat has an intention to drive; a photograph device which photographs the faces of the first and second persons; and a person identification device which determines whether or not the first and second persons are the same by comparing their faces in images, wherein if it is determined that the first and the second persons are not the same, the driving restriction device restricts driving of the vehicle. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20120002027 | INATTENTION DETERMINING APPARATUS - An inattention determination device includes a sight direction detecting unit that detects a sight direction of a driver, and an inattention determining unit that measures an inattention continuation time from a time point when the sight direction is a predetermined inattention direction to a time point when the sight direction deviates from the predetermined inattention direction and becomes a direction other than the inattention direction and determines that the driver is inattentive when the intention continuation time is equal to or more than a predetermined time. The inattention determining unit maintains measurement of the inattention continuation time when the sight direction is changed at a speed higher than a predetermined movement speed from the predetermined inattention direction to a direction other than the inattention direction or when the sight direction is momentarily a direction other than the inattention direction. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120002028 | FACE IMAGE PICK-UP APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - There is provided a face image pick-up apparatus for a vehicle including an image pick-up unit installed in a vehicle having a steering wheel disposed in front of a driver's seat of a vehicle interior and a tilt mechanism adjusting a tilt angle with respect to a vertical direction of the steering wheel to image a face image of a driver seated on the driver's seat, wherein the image pick-up unit is disposed vertically above a central axis line of the steering wheel and vertically above the upper end of the steering wheel when the steering wheel is displaced to the upper limit position by the tilt mechanism, when viewing the steering wheel from the front. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120057749 | INATTENTION DETERMINING DEVICE - An inattention determining device includes range changing unit and inattention determining unit. When a curve detection result is output from curve detector, the range changing unit changes a first predetermined range to a second predetermined range by the predetermined amount in the curve direction before a turning direction of an acquisition result is changed in the curve direction of the curve detection result. The inattention determining unit determines whether or not a driver is in an inattention state on the basis of the second predetermined range. | 03-08-2012 |
