Abstract
A ride support device includes a processor configured to: detect behavior of a visually impaired user who is about to enter a vehicle, based on an image generated by a camera configured to be capable of taking a picture of an entrance position of the vehicle, determine whether the detected behavior satisfies a collision prediction condition that the user is predicted to collide with the vehicle, and warn the user of a collision via a notification device provided on the vehicle, when the collision prediction condition is satisfied.
Claims6
A ride support device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- detect behavior of a visually impaired user who is about to enter a vehicle, based on an image generated by a camera configured to be capable of taking a picture of an entrance position of the vehicle,
- determine whether the detected behavior satisfies a collision prediction condition that the user is predicted to collide with the vehicle,
- give the user a warning of a collision via a notification device provided on the vehicle, when the collision prediction condition is satisfied, and
- tighten the collision prediction condition as the number of times the user rides in the vehicle without being given the warning increases.
A method for supporting a ride, comprising:
- detecting behavior of a visually impaired user who is about to enter a vehicle, based on an image generated by a camera configured to be capable of taking a picture of an entrance position of the vehicle;
- determining whether the detected behavior satisfies a collision prediction condition that the user is predicted to collide with the vehicle;
- warning the user of a collision via a notification device provided on the vehicle, when the collision prediction condition is satisfied;
- and
- tightening the collision prediction condition as the number of times the user rides in the vehicle without being given the warning increases.
A non-transitory recording medium that stores a computer program for supporting a ride, the computer program causing a processor mounted on a vehicle to execute a process comprising:
- detecting behavior of a visually impaired user who is about to enter the vehicle, based on an image generated by a camera configured to be capable of taking a picture of an entrance position of the vehicle;
- determining whether the detected behavior satisfies a collision prediction condition that the user is predicted to collide with the vehicle;
- warning the user of a collision via a notification device provided on the vehicle, when the collision prediction condition is satisfied;
- and
- tightening the collision prediction condition as the number of times the user rides in the vehicle without being given the warning increases.
