Abstract
A control apparatus includes a controller configured to, upon determining, based on behavior classification, that a behavior of a passenger detected from a captured image or a sound of inside of a vehicle is threatening, transmit a first instruction to increase tension of a seat belt worn by the passenger.
Claims17
A control apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to, upon determining, based on behavior classification, that a behavior of a passenger detected from a captured image or a sound of inside of a vehicle is threatening, transmit a first instruction to increase tension of a seat belt worn by the passenger, the controller is configured to transmit the first instruction each time the behavior of the passenger is determined to be threatening for a predetermined duration.
A method of operating a control apparatus for controlling a seat belt apparatus, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the control apparatus, a first instruction upon the control apparatus determining, based on behavior classification, that a behavior of a passenger detected from a captured image or a sound of inside of a vehicle is threatening, the first instruction being an instruction to increase tension of a seat belt worn by the passenger;
- and
- receiving, by the seat belt apparatus, the first instruction,
- wherein the transmitting includes transmitting, by the control apparatus, the first instruction each time the behavior of the passenger is determined to be threatening for a predetermined duration.
A non-transitory medium, readable by a control apparatus for controlling a seat belt apparatus, storing a program configured to, when executed by the control apparatus, cause the control apparatus to:
- transmit a first instruction upon determining, based on behavior classification, that a behavior of a passenger detected from a captured image or a sound of inside of a vehicle is threatening, the first instruction being an instruction to increase tension of a seat belt worn by the passenger,
- wherein the program is further configured to cause the control apparatus to transmit the first instruction each time the behavior of the passenger is determined to be threatening for a predetermined duration.
