Abstract
A door control apparatus includes a controller for controlling the opening and closing of a door provided at an opening, based on captured data for an external area of a vehicle. The controller determines the presence or absence of a mobile object's intention to board the vehicle, from time-series data of the captured data, based on the positional relationship between the opening and the mobile object's movement direction. The controller varies the opening and closing timing of the door based on the determination result of the presence or absence of the mobile object's intention to board the vehicle.
Claims20
A door control apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to control opening and closing of a door provided at an opening of a vehicle, based on captured data for a captured range located in an external area relative to the opening, at least one mobile object being present in the captured range,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- determine presence or absence of the at least one mobile object's intention to board the vehicle, from time-series data of the captured data, based on a positional relationship between the opening and the at least one mobile object's movement direction;
- and
- vary opening and closing timing of the door based on a determination result of the presence or absence of the intention to board the vehicle.
A door control method for controlling opening and closing of a door provided at an opening of a vehicle, based on captured data for a captured range located in an external area relative to the opening, at least one mobile object being present in the captured range, the door control method comprising:
- determining presence or absence of the at least one mobile object's intention to board the vehicle, from time-series data of the captured data, based on a positional relationship between the opening and the at least one mobile object's movement direction;
- and
- varying opening and closing timing of the door based on a determination result of the presence or absence of the intention to board the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a door control program for controlling opening and closing of a door provided at an opening of a vehicle, based on captured data for a captured range located in an external area relative to the opening, at least one mobile object being present in the captured range, the door control program configured to cause a processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- determining presence or absence of the at least one mobile object's intention to board the vehicle, from time-series data of the captured data, based on a positional relationship between the opening and the at least one mobile object's movement direction;
- and
- varying opening and closing timing of the door based on a determination result of the presence or absence of the intention to board the vehicle.
