  • Patent number: 11794769
    Abstract: A method and device for determining whether a user is actively driving a motor vehicle or car sick. The sensor device is provided for sensing eye movement of the user and the method includes supplying an artificial intelligence with data originating from the sensor device in order to recognize at least one frequency of eye movements of the user, a frequency of eye movements above a first threshold characterizing a visualization by the user of a passing landscape, and being distinguished from a concentration of gaze of a vehicle driver, and determining a current frequency of eye movements of the user and comparing the current frequency with the first threshold, and if the current frequency is greater than the first threshold, triggering a notification signal for the user.

  • Publication number: 20230280584
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for protecting an optical sensor of a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, with the optical sensor including an optic. The device includes an optical element arranged upstream of the optic of the optical sensor and mounted to be able to rotate about a first axis of rotation, and an electrical motor configured to rotate the optical element. The electric motor includes a rotor that rotates about a second axis of rotation intersecting with the first axis of rotation of the optical element.

  • Publication number: 20230073355
    Abstract: The invention provides device, system, and method for projecting light in the interior of an automotive vehicle. The method includes sending data to the light projector regarding the lighting conditions in the interior of the automotive vehicle, using the data to modify some projection parameter of a light pattern, and projecting the light pattern.

  • Publication number: 20230069899
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for light projection in the interior of an automotive vehicle. The method includes sensing, by at least one sensor, the presence of an object or person in the interior of the vehicle, wherein the sensor comprises a plurality of image sensing devices. A protection zone is defined by using the data of the at least one sensor, thus obtaining a three-dimensional protection zone. A first light pattern is projected with a first pattern zone by means of a first projector associated to a first image sensing device. A second light pattern is projected with a second pattern zone by means of a second projector associated to a second image sensing device, wherein the first pattern zone and/or the second pattern zone are projected over the protection zone and wherein the light pattern forms a projected image on an interior surface of the automotive vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10768412
    Abstract: A device for an optical sensor for a motor vehicle and a corresponding driver-assistance system are disclosed. The optical sensor includes an optic. The device includes a housing that is mounted so as to be able to rotate around an axis of rotation and that has a compartment that is configured to accommodate the optical sensor, and an optical element that is securely fastened to the housing. The optical element has at least one planar surface that is configured to be placed in the field of view of the optical sensor. The device also includes and an actuator that is coupled to the housing in order to drive the housing and the optical element to rotate.
