Publication number: 20220319203Abstract: A distracted-driving monitoring apparatus for a vehicle includes an imaging device and a determiner. The imaging device is configured to capture an image indicating at least an occupant of the vehicle. The determiner is configured to make a determination on distracted driving of the occupant of the vehicle based on the captured image. The determiner is configured to determine areas in the captured image corresponding to areas that the occupant faces from among divided areas obtained by dividing a viewing range. The viewing range corresponds to a range where the occupant is likely to face while the vehicle is in operation. The determiner is configured to execute determination processing differently for each of the determined areas to make the determination on the distracted driving of the occupant.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Keita ONISHI, Masayuki MARUBASHI, Junpei TOKIZAKI, Keiji ASAI, Shinichi MIYAMOTO

Patent number: 11203317Abstract: A vehicle with an occupant protection function includes an occupant protection device and an occupant monitoring device. The occupant protection device is provided in the vehicle and configured to perform protection operation of supporting, with a seatbelt, an occupant in the vehicle upon collision of the vehicle. The occupant monitoring device is provided in the vehicle and configured to monitor the occupant in the vehicle. The occupant monitoring device is configured to determine whether the occupant in the vehicle is aware of the collision of the vehicle. The occupant protection device is configured to, in a case where the occupant monitoring device determines that the occupant is unaware of the collision of the vehicle, increase tension of the seatbelt gradually as compared with a case where the occupant monitoring device determines that the occupant is aware of the collision.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Ryota Nakamura, Junpei Tokizaki, Masayuki Marubashi, Keita Onishi

Patent number: 11155227Abstract: An occupant monitoring device for a vehicle is configured to monitor an occupant sitting on a seat provided in the vehicle and includes a light projector, an imaging device, and a processor. The light projector is configured to project light toward the occupant sitting on the seat. The imaging device is configured to capture an image of the occupant sitting on the seat. The processor is configured to control the light projector and the imaging device to capture the image of the occupant sitting on the seat. In a case where a collision of the vehicle is neither predicted nor detected, the processor causes the imaging device to capture an image of behavior of the occupant corresponding to either one of travel control and behavior of the vehicle so as to change occupant protection control.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Ryota Nakamura, Junpei Tokizaki, Masayuki Marubashi, Keita Onishi

Patent number: 11120283Abstract: An occupant monitoring device for a vehicle includes an imaging device and a controller. The imaging device is configured to capture an image of an occupant in the vehicle. The controller is configured to perform, on a basis of the image captured by the imaging device, a plurality of determination processes including a behavior detection process of detecting a behavior of the occupant. The controller is further configured to, in a case where collision of the vehicle is predicted or detected, stop one or more of the determination processes other than the behavior detection process and perform the behavior detection process.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Junpei Tokizaki, Ryota Nakamura, Masayuki Marubashi, Keita Onishi

Patent number: 10977505Abstract: An occupant monitoring device is mountable in a vehicle, and configured to monitor one or more occupants riding in the vehicle. The occupant monitoring device includes: a recognizer that recognizes one or more occupants riding in the vehicle; a recognized occupant storage that stores occupant information recognized by the recognizer; a setting storage that stores setting for the one or more occupants, stored in the recognized occupant storage; and a monitor that monitors the one or more occupants riding in the vehicle based on the setting of the setting storage. When the recognizer is unable to identify an occupant by recognition processing, the recognized occupant storage stores guest information which does not identify the occupant, and the monitor monitors a guest who has ridden in the vehicle, based on the setting of the setting storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Ryota Nakamura, Masayuki Marubashi, Keita Onishi

Patent number: 9393931Abstract: An occupant protection apparatus for a vehicle includes a door sensor that detects a defamation of a side door in a side collision and an occupant position detection sensor that detects a lumbar position of the occupant. A pretensioner is activated when it is determined from detection by the door sensor and the occupant position detection sensor that an intruding-object collision rear-end position in the side door is located in front of the lumbar position, and the pretensioner is prohibited from activation when it is determined that the intruding-object collision rear-end position is not located in front of the lumbar position. When there is a possibility that a clearance between the lumbar of the occupant and the deformed side door is insufficient, the pretensioner is prohibited from activation to allow the occupant to move at the early stage of a collision.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: FUJI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Keita Onishi, Tadashi Tsuneyoshi, Takao Kondo, Shinya Motomura, Junichi Orai
