Abstract
An emergency driving situation control apparatus using a brain wave signal includes a sensor configured to collect a brain wave signal for at least one passenger of a mobility in a predetermined channel region, an analyzer configured to determine, by analyzing the brain wave signal collected in the predetermined region, whether or not an emergency situation has occurred to the mobility, and a controller configured to control an operation of the mobility based on a result of the determination.
Claims17
An emergency driving situation control apparatus using a brain wave signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to collect the brain wave signal for at least one passenger of a mobility in a first channel region and a second channel region different than the first channel region;
- an analyzer configured to determine, by analyzing the brain wave signal collected in the first channel region based on a predetermined threshold, whether or not an emergency situation has occurred to the mobility, wherein the analyzer is configured to:
- adjust the predetermined threshold based on a comparison between an activity level of the brain wave signal collected in the second channel region and a second threshold different from the predetermined threshold, wherein the second threshold is used to analyze the activity level of the brain wave signal collected in the second channel region,
- determine whether a freeze response has occurred to the passenger based on the brain wave signal collected in the first channel region and the adjusted predetermined threshold, and
- determine whether the emergency situation has occurred to the mobility based on a result of determining whether the freeze response has occurred to the passenger;
- and
- a controller configured to control an operation of the mobility based on a result of determining whether the emergency situation has occurred.
An emergency driving situation control method using a brain wave signal, the method comprising:
- collecting the brain wave signal for at least one passenger of a mobility in a first channel region and in a second channel region different from the first channel region;
- determining whether a freeze response has occurred to the passenger by analyzing the brain wave signal collected in the first channel region based on a predetermined threshold that has been adjusted based on a comparison between an activity level of the brain wave signal collected in the second channel region and a second threshold different from the predetermined threshold, wherein the second threshold is used to analyze the activity level of the brain wave signal collected in the second channel region;
- determining whether an emergency situation has occurred to the mobility based on a result of determining whether the freeze response has occurred to the passenger;
- and
- controlling an operation of the mobility based on a result of the determination of whether the emergency situation has occurred to the mobility.
An emergency driving situation control method using a brain wave signal, the method comprising:
- collecting the brain wave signal for at least one passenger of a mobility in a first channel region and a second channel region, wherein the first channel region is a periaqueductal gray (PAG) and the second channel region is an anterior cingulate cortex (ACC);
- determining that a freeze response might have occurred to the passenger by analyzing the brain wave signal collected in the first channel region in view of a predetermined threshold;
- adjusting the predetermined threshold based on a comparison between an activity level of the brain wave signal collected in the second channel region and a second threshold different from the predetermined threshold, wherein the second threshold is used to analyze the activity level of the brain wave signal collected in the second channel region;
- determining whether the freeze response has occurred to the passenger by analyzing the brain wave signal collected in the first channel region in view of the adjusted predetermined threshold;
- determining whether an emergency situation has occurred to the mobility based on a result of determining whether the freeze response has occurred to the passenger;
- and
- controlling an operation of the mobility based on a result of determining whether the emergency situation has occurred.
