Exhalation sensing apparatus, exhalation sensing method and non-transitory computer-readable medium

An exhalation sensing method performed by an exhalation sensing apparatus that is provided in an operator's cabin of a moving object and that comprises an exhalation sensing unit and a notification unit, the exhalation sensing method comprising:

• sensing, by the exhalation sensing unit, an exhalation of an operator, in a state in which the operator of the moving object is not in contact therewith;
• and
• notifying, by the notification unit, the operator of an instruction, wherein
• the sensing the exhalation includes sensing, by the exhalation sensing unit, the exhalation before the notification unit notifies of the instruction, and
• the notifying includes notifying, by the notification unit, the operator of an instruction based on a sensing result of the exhalation obtained by the exhalation sensing unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program recorded thereon that, when performed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations of an exhalation sensing method performed by an exhalation sensing apparatus that is provided in an operator's cabin of a moving object and that comprises an exhalation sensing unit and a notification unit, the operations comprising:

• causing the exhalation sensing unit to sense an exhalation of the operator, in a state in which an operator of the moving object is not in contact therewith;
• and
• causing the notification unit to notify the operator of an instruction, wherein
• the sensing the exhalation includes sensing, by the exhalation sensing unit, the exhalation before the notification unit notifies of the instruction;
• the notifying the instruction includes notifying, by the notification unit, the operator of an instruction based on a sensing result of the exhalation obtained by the exhalation sensing unit.
