20100028210 | BREATHALYZER TEST DEVICE - A breathalyzer test device includes vigilance detecting means for detecting the vigilance of a test subject, and breathalyzer test means for performing a breathalyzer test on the subject based on the vigilance detected by the vigilance detecting means. | 02-04-2010 |
20100212987 | DRINKING LEVEL DETECTING SYSTEM AND DRINKING LEVEL DETECTING METHOD - There is provided a drinking level detecting system and a drinking level detecting method capable of improving the detection accuracy of the drinking level by allowing a third person to correct the drinking level of a driver. In a system or method which detects the drinking level of a driver of a vehicle, the drinking level of the driver is detected by an alcohol detector or the like, and the detection result is corrected by a third person other than the driver when there is an error in the detection result. Accordingly, even when the drinking level detected by the alcohol detector or the like is incorrect, the drinking level can be corrected after ensuring reliability by the determination by the third person. | 08-26-2010 |
20110090073 | BLIND SPOT DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - Disclosed is a blind spot display device which enables a driver to check the image of a blind spot area at required timing and can prevent the visual distraction of the driver due to display of unnecessary images, ensuring that the driver is sufficiently attentive during driving. On the basis of the traveling state of a vehicle estimated by a traveling state estimation section, a right display and a left display switch display and non-display of the image of the blind spot area, and the right attention drawing section or the left attention drawing section corresponding to the display displaying the image draws the attention of the driver. On the basis of the traveling state, the image is displayed only when necessary, and is not displayed when unnecessary. | 04-21-2011 |
20130258488 | VEHICLE INFORMATION TRANSMITTING DEVICE - In a vehicle information transmitting device, a plurality of light sources is arranged in an array form of plural rows or plural columns in the light source panel so that light can be irradiated in a horizontal direction (right and left direction) and vertical direction (height direction, up and down direction). The light source panel includes a diffusion plate and a shaft member for entirely or partially adjusting the transmitting degree (blurring degree of light) of the light of the light source in association with the arrangement position of the light source, and a plurality of springs that plays the role of a fail safe for maintaining the distance between the light source and the diffusion plate in a maximum state at the time of malfunctioning. | 10-03-2013 |
20150046038 | DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS - To provide a driving assistance apparatus that can detect an intersection at which driving assistance is required with a high degree of precision so that the driving assistance can be provided more appropriately, a driving assistance apparatus | 02-12-2015 |
20150051753 | DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE - In order to provide a driving assistance device capable of inhibiting execution of driving assistance in a scene other than an intersection at which the driving assistance is required, a driving assistance device is provided with a microphone mounted on an own vehicle and configured to detect sound information around the own vehicle, an assistance executing unit configured to execute the driving assistance, and an assistance determining unit configured to determine whether the driving assistance is executed and determine an assistance level at the time of executing the driving assistance, based on a reverberating sound of a sound emitted from the own vehicle and included in the sound information detected by the microphone. | 02-19-2015 |
20150158482 | APPROACHING VEHICLE DETECTION APPARATUS AND DRIVE ASSIST SYSTEM - An approaching vehicle detection apparatus includes: a sound information detection unit configured to detect sound information around an own vehicle; a sound source detection unit configured to detect a sound source around the own vehicle based on the detected sound information; an approaching vehicle determination unit configured to determine whether the sound source is a vehicle approaching the own vehicle; and a vehicle state changing unit configured to change a vehicle state of the own vehicle to a vehicle state where the own vehicle sound is able to be suppressed when the own vehicle sound generated from the own vehicle is able to be suppressed by changing the vehicle state of the own vehicle. | 06-11-2015 |
20150235554 | OTHER-VEHICLE DETECTION APPARATUS, DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, AND OTHER-VEHICLE DETECTION METHOD - An other-vehicle detection apparatus includes: a sound source device mounted on a first vehicle and configured to output a non-audible region sound of a predetermined frequency range set in advance; a sound collection device mounted on the first vehicle and configured to collect sound information around the first vehicle; and a distinction device configured to distinguish a second vehicle based on a non-audible region sound included in the sound information collected by the sound collection device of the first vehicle. | 08-20-2015 |
