Abstract: Disclosed herein are a drowsy-driving prevention method and a drowsy-driving prevention system that execute artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and/or machine learning algorithms in a 5G environment connected for Internet of Things in order to control a stimulation unit and a measurement unit. The drowsy-driving prevention method may include a stimulating step, a measuring step, and a determining step. A stimulation unit outputs a stimulus in order to stimulate a sensory organ of a driver, and then a measurement unit measures a biometric signal of the driver from the time when the stimulus is outputted. Upon determining that the biometric signal of the driver is not a response to the stimulus, the stimulation unit may output the stimulus again.

Abstract: A method for inducing an activity of a user's autonomic nervous system is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) on condition that each of the user's reference heart rate information corresponding to each of active states of the user's autonomic nervous system is obtained, an inducing device, if a specific active state of the autonomic nervous system is selected by the user, acquiring first reference heart rate information of the user corresponding to the specific active state of the autonomic nervous system; and (b) the inducing device supporting a first vibration stimulus with a first period corresponding to the first reference heart rate information to be applied to the user, to thereby allow the user's real-time average cardiac interval to be synchronized with the first vibration stimulus.

Abstract: A method for preventing drowsy driving in consideration of an alertness of the driver is disclosed. A method for preventing drowsy driving according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes determining an alertness level of a driver based on monitoring information from at least one monitoring unit equipped in a vehicle, determining a stimulus corresponding to at least one of a plurality of stimulation units, based on the determined alertness level, and operating at least one stimulation unit corresponding to the stimulus. A stimulus to be delivered to the driver is determined by a machine learning or deep learning technology using an artificial neural network which has been trained to output a stimulus suitable to improve an alertness of the driver depending on the identity and the state of the driver.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for an electronic device. The method may include: acquiring a galvanic skin response; generating a first parameter for a first interval and a second parameter for a second interval based on the galvanic skin response, the second interval being an interval before the first interval; determining a first threshold corresponding to the first interval based on the second parameter; and determining an activity state of the first interval based on the first threshold and the first parameter corresponding to the first interval.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a first bio-signal from a user in an unrestrictive manner are provided. The method includes extracting a second bio-signal including a motion signal and a respiration signal, based on the first bio-signal; determining an apnea measurement reference signal including a respiration measurement signal and a motion measurement signal, based on the second bio-signal; dividing the apnea measurement reference signal by a first time interval to generate a first evaluation signal, and dividing the first evaluation signal by a second time interval, that is smaller than the first time interval, to generate second evaluation signals; calculating standard deviation information based on the second evaluation signals; and determining a sleeping pattern for the second time intervals corresponding to the second evaluation signals, based on the standard deviation information.
