Patent number: 11034294Abstract: A driving notification method and a driving notification system are provided. The driving notification system is disposed on a mobile vehicle, and the driving notification method includes following steps. A surrounding image is captured through an image capturing device. A target object detection is performed to the surrounding image to obtain a target position of an image detection object. A gaze position of a driver is detected through an eye tracking device. Whether the gaze position matches the target position is determined. An alarm device is controlled to activate an alarming operation if the gaze position does not match the target position.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Andy Ho, Tsung-Han Yang, Szu-Chieh Wang, Jian-Chi Lin, Jason Hsiao
