Abstract
An apparatus and method for monitoring a driver using a brain wave signal of the driver are disclosed. The monitoring method includes collecting a brain wave signal for a driver in a vehicle for a predetermined time, determining the driver's state by analyzing the brain wave signal collected for the predetermined time, and controlling an operation of the vehicle on the basis of the determined driver's state.
Claims20
An apparatus for monitoring a driver using a brain wave signal of the driver, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to collect a brain wave signal for a driver in a vehicle for a predetermined time;
- an analyzer configured to determine a driver's state by analyzing the brain wave signal collected for the predetermined time;
- and
- a controller configured to control an operation of the vehicle on the basis of the determined driver's state,
- wherein the driver's state is determined to be one of a plurality of abnormal states based on a driver-specific brain wave signal template,
- wherein the driver-specific brain wave signal template is obtained beforehand within a predetermined time,
- wherein the driver's state is determined by comparing the brain wave signal collected for the predetermined time and the driver-specific brain wave signal template, and
- wherein the controller differently controls the operation of the vehicle based on each of the plurality of abnormal states.
A method of monitoring a driver using a brain wave signal of the driver, the method comprising:
- collecting, by a sensor, a brain wave signal for a driver in a vehicle for a predetermined time;
- determining, by an analyzer, a driver's state by analyzing the brain wave signal collected for the predetermined time;
- and
- controlling, by a controller, an operation of the vehicle on the basis of the determined driver's state,
- wherein the driver's state is determined to be one of a plurality of abnormal states based on a driver-specific brain wave signal template,
- wherein the driver-specific brain wave signal template is obtained beforehand within a predetermined time,
- wherein the driver's state is determined by comparing the brain wave signal collected for the predetermined time and the driver-specific brain wave signal template, and
- wherein the controller differently controls the operation of the vehicle based on each of the plurality of abnormal states.
