Abstract
A diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a recognition unit and a diagnosis unit. The recognition unit is configured to recognize an environment outside a vehicle. The diagnosis unit is configured to detect a reaction time of a driver to a recognition target recognized by the recognition unit, based on a driving operation timing in a driving operation unit configured to receive a driving operation of the driver related to traveling of the vehicle, and diagnose a health state of the driver based on the reaction time.
Claims13
A diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a recognition unit configured to recognize an environment outside a vehicle;
- and
- a diagnosis unit configured to:
- detect a reaction time of a driver to a recognition target recognized by the recognition unit, based on a driving operation timing in a driving operation unit that receives a driving operation of the driver related to traveling of the vehicle;
- and
- diagnose a health state of the driver based on the reaction time;
- and
- a detection unit configured to detect biometric information of the driver, wherein
- the diagnosis unit is configured to:
- estimate whether the driver feels sleepiness based on the biometric information;
- refrain from diagnosing that the health state is poor when the diagnosis unit estimate that the driver feels sleepiness;
- and
- diagnose the health state of the driver based on the reaction time when the diagnosis unit estimates that the driver feels no sleepiness.

A diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a recognition unit configured to recognize an environment outside a vehicle;
- and
- a diagnosis unit configured to:
- detect a reaction time of a driver to a recognition target recognized by the recognition unit, based on a driving operation timing in a driving operation unit that receives a driving operation of the driver related to traveling of the vehicle;
- and
- diagnose a health state of the driver based on the reaction time;
- and
- a detection unit configured to detect biometric information of the driver, wherein
- the recognition unit is configured to recognize a curve in front of the vehicle,
- the diagnosis unit is configured to detect the reaction time to the curve, based on a steering operation timing of the driver,
- the diagnosis unit comprises a memory configured to accumulate reaction times of the driver, and
- the diagnosis unit is further configured to:
- generate a threshold based on the accumulated reaction times, and diagnose the health state by comparing the reaction time with the threshold;
- diagnose the health state further based on a result of detecting the biometric information, in addition to the reaction time;
- estimate a sleepiness level of the driver based on the biometric information;
- and
- diagnose that the driver is in a poor health state only when the reaction time exceeds the threshold and the sleepiness level is below a predetermined level.
