Abstract
A safe operation apparatus for a moving object includes: a distraction detection unit for detecting distraction information of a user operating a moving object; a controller for collecting the distraction information from the distraction detection unit, calculating a user's distraction state value, and controlling the moving object to be automatically operated or warning of the distraction state based on the distraction state value; and an automatic operation unit for automatically operating the moving object under the control of the controller. The apparatus further includes a communication unit for transmitting the user's distraction state to a remote control center or an adjacent different moving object under the control of the controller.
Claims14
A safe operation apparatus of a moving object comprising:
- a distraction detection unit to detect distraction information including measured state of a user in operating a moving object;
- a controller to calculate a degree of a user's distraction state value when determining the distraction information is included in reference ranges, and control the moving object to be automatically operated when the degree of the user's distraction state value is within a first of the reference ranges, and issue warning when the degree of the user's distraction state value is outside the first of the reference ranges and within a second of the reference ranges;
- an automatic operation unit to automatically operate the moving object under the control of the controller;
- and
- a communication unit to transmit the degree of the user's distraction state to a remote control center or an adjacent different moving object under the control of the controller,
- wherein when the distraction state value is included in the first of the reference ranges indicating an instantaneous urgent situation, the controller changes an operation mode of the moving object into an automatic operation mode,
- wherein when the distraction state value is included in the second of the reference ranges indicating a continuous urgent situation, the controller issues an alarm to reveal the user's distraction state to the user, and
- wherein when the distraction state value is included in the second of the reference ranges indicating a continuous urgent situation, the controller transmits the user's distraction state to a remote control center.
A safe operation method of a moving object comprising:
- detecting distraction information including measured state of a user who operates a moving object by a distraction detection unit;
- calculating a degree of a user's distraction state value when determining the distraction information is included in reference ranges;
- and
- controlling an operation of the moving object based on the degree of user's distraction state value, and
- wherein the controlling causes the moving object to be automatically operated when the degree of the user's distraction state value is within a first of the reference ranges, and issues warning when the degree of the user's distraction state value is outside the first of the reference ranges and within a second of the reference ranges,
- wherein, in said controlling an operation of the moving object, when the distraction state value is included in the first of the reference ranges indicating an instantaneous urgent situation, an operation mode of the moving object is changed into an automatic operation mode,
- wherein, in said controlling an operation of the moving object, when the distraction state value is included in the second of the reference ranges indicating a continuous urgent situation, an alarm is issued to reveal the user's distraction state to the user, and
- wherein, in said controlling an operation of the moving object, when the distraction state value is included in the second of the reference ranges indicating a continuous urgent situation, the user's distraction state is transmitted to a remote control center.
