  • Patent number: 10946874
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted equipment control device includes an anti-dozing-section setting part that sets an anti-dozing section on a planned travel route of a subject vehicle, a vehicle-position acquisition part that acquires the position of the subject vehicle, a drowsiness detector that detects drowsiness of an occupant different from a driver in the subject vehicle, and a vehicle-mounted equipment controller that controls vehicle-mounted equipment. If drowsiness of the occupant has been detected when the position of the subject vehicle is within the anti-dozing section, the vehicle-mounted equipment controller controls the vehicle-mounted equipment to shake off the drowsiness. If drowsiness of the occupant has been detected when the position of the subject vehicle is outside the anti-dozing section, the vehicle-mounted equipment controller controls the vehicle-mounted equipment to promote the drowsiness.

  • Publication number: 20130114860
    Abstract: An in-vehicle image processing device includes: movement distance detection units 2 and 73 which detect a movement distance of a vehicle; a movement distance determination unit 73 which determines whether or not the vehicle has moved a predetermined distance from an initial position based on the movement distance detected by the movement distance detection units 2 and 73; an unnecessary area identification unit 74 which obtains an inter-frame difference of an image picked up by an in-vehicle camera 1 by the time when the movement distance determination unit 73 determines that the vehicle has moved the predetermined distance from the initial position, and identifies an area, where a change amount of the image is not more than a threshold, as an unnecessary area; and an unnecessary area removal unit 77 which removes an image of the unnecessary area identified by the unnecessary area identification unit 74.
