Alcohol detection apparatus

An alcohol detection apparatus comprising:

• an image sensor configured to generate a captured image by performing imaging of a first occupant in a driver's seat of a vehicle;
• a touch sensor provided at a position where the first occupant is able to touch the touch sensor with a first hand of the first occupant and configured to perform a detection of a touch;
• an alcohol sensor configured to be held by a second hand of the first occupant and to perform a detection of an alcohol component included in breath exhaled from a mouth or nose of the first occupant, the second hand being different from the first hand;
• and
• a processor configured to perform processes based on the captured image generated by the image sensor, a result of the detection performed by the touch sensor, and a result of the detection performed by the alcohol sensor, wherein,
• the processor is configured to:
• perform a first process of confirming, based on the captured image, whether the first hand of the first occupant is touching the touch sensor,
• perform a second process of confirming, based on the captured image, whether the second hand of the first occupant is holding the alcohol sensor, and
• perform a determination process of determining that the result of the detection obtainable by the alcohol sensor is effective when a plurality of conditions is satisfied, the plurality of conditions comprising (i) that the touch sensor detects the touch, (ii) that the first hand of the first occupant is touching the touch sensor in the first process and (iii) that the second hand of the first occupant is holding the alcohol sensor in the second process.
