Safety-assistant control method and apparatus

A safety-assistant control apparatus implemented in a vehicle, the safety-assistant control apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine whether the vehicle is in a state of willing to drive based on a driving controller state of a driving controller, a braking controller state of a braking controller, and a gear state of a gear;
• determine whether a rear seat door is opened, when it is determined that the vehicle is in the state of willing to drive;
• determine whether a dynamic obstacle exists, when it is determined that the rear seat door is opened;
• and
• set a value of a drive stop flag differently depending on whether the rear seat door is opened and whether the dynamic obstacle exists,
• wherein:
• when the value of the drive stop flag comprises a first value, the driving controller inactivates driving of the vehicle, and the braking controller activates braking of the vehicle, and
• when the value of the drive stop flag comprises a second value different from the first value, the driving controller activates driving of the vehicle, and the braking controller inactivates braking of the vehicle.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising an instruction executable by a computing device, the instruction causing the computing device to perform an operation when executed by one or more processors of the computing device, wherein the operation comprises:

• determining whether a vehicle is in a state of willing to drive based on a driving controller state of a driving controller, a braking controller state of a braking controller, and a gear state of a gear;
• determining whether a rear seat door is opened, when it is determined that the vehicle is in the state of willing to drive;
• determining whether a dynamic obstacle exists, when it is determined that the rear seat door is opened;
• and
• setting a value of a drive stop flag differently depending on whether the rear seat door is opened and whether the dynamic obstacle exists,
• wherein, when the value of the drive stop flag comprises a first value, the driving controller inactivates driving of the vehicle, and the braking controller activates braking of the vehicle, and
• wherein, when the value of the drive stop flag comprises a second value different from the first value, the driving controller activates driving of the vehicle, and the braking controller inactivates braking of the vehicle.
