Abstract
An autonomous driving assistance device includes: a determination unit for determining whether or not a driver of a vehicle needs a rest on the basis of detection information of a state of the driver; and a control unit for causing an output device of the vehicle to output a pattern that prompts the driver to sleep through at least one of sight, hearing, or touch during a period in which the vehicle has started moving to a parking area and is parked at the parking area in a case where the determination unit has determined that the driver needs a rest.
Claims15
An autonomous driving assistance device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- determine whether or not a driver of a vehicle needs a rest on a basis of detection information of a state of the driver;
- cause an output device of the vehicle to output a pattern that prompts the driver to sleep via at least one of sight, hearing, or touch during a period in which the vehicle has started moving to a parking area and is parked at the parking area in a case where it has been determined that the driver needs a rest;
- and
- inquire the driver whether or not to take a rest when it is determined that the driver needs a rest,
- wherein the processing circuitry starts moving the vehicle to the parking area when a response of taking a rest from the driver is received, and
- the processing circuitry causes the output device to output a pattern that prompts the driver to stay awake through at least one of sight, hearing, or touch when a response of not taking a rest from the driver is received.
An autonomous driving assistance system comprising:
- a group of sensors for detecting a state inside and outside a vehicle;
- an output device included in the vehicle;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to
- determine whether or not a driver of the vehicle needs a rest on a basis of a state of the driver detected by the group of sensors;
- cause the output device to output a pattern that prompts the driver to sleep through at least one of sight, hearing, or touch during a period in which the vehicle has started moving to a parking area and is parked at the parking area in a case where it has been determined that the driver needs a rest;
- and
- inquire the driver whether or not to take a rest when it is determined that the driver needs a rest,
- wherein the processing circuitry starts moving the vehicle to the parking area when a response of taking a rest from the driver is received, and
- the processing circuitry causes the output device to output a pattern that prompts the driver to stay awake through at least one of sight, hearing, or touch when a response of not taking a rest from the driver is received.
An autonomous driving assistance method comprising:
- determining whether or not a driver of a vehicle needs a rest on a basis of detection information of a state of the driver;
- and
- outputting a pattern that prompts the driver to sleep through at least one of sight, hearing, or touch during a period in which the vehicle has started moving to a parking area and is parked at the parking area in a case where it has been determined that the driver needs a rest;
- inquiring the driver whether or not to take a rest when it is determined that the driver needs a rest,
- starting to move the vehicle to the parking area when a response of taking a rest from the driver is received, and
- outputting a pattern that prompts the driver to stay awake through at least one of sight, hearing, or touch when a response of not taking a rest from the driver is received.
