Abstract
An anomaly judgment system includes an actuating switch and an anomaly judgment unit for judging anomaly of an operator detection device that is turned into an ON state when detecting an operator in a vehicle. The actuating switch is operable to be turned into an ON state by the operator. The anomaly judgment unit judges the operator detection device as anomalous when a time period during which the actuating switch is in an OFF state with the operator detection device in the ON state exceeds a predetermined time period.
Claims19
An anomaly judgment system for judging anomaly of an operator detection device that is turned into an ON state when detecting an operator in a vehicle, the anomaly judgment system comprising:
- an actuating switch operable to be turned into an ON state by the operator;
- and
- an anomaly judgment unit that judges the operator detection device as anomalous when a time period during which the actuating switch is in an OFF state with the operator detection device in the ON state exceeds a predetermined time period.
A process for judging normality/anomaly of an operator detection device that is turned into an ON state when detecting an operator in a vehicle that includes an actuating switch operable to be turned into an ON state by the operator, the process comprising the steps of:
- detecting the ON state of the operator detection device;
- judging whether the operator detection device is turned into an OFF state;
- judging whether the actuating switch is turned into the ON state;
- judging whether a predetermined time period elapses without turning the operator detection device into the OFF state and without turning the actuating switch into an ON state since the detection of the ON state of the operator detection device;
- and
- judging the operator detection device as anomalous after the elapse of the predetermined time period.
