  • Patent number: 11156482
    Abstract: A contactless sensor mounting system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a contactless sensor that is mounted in an interior component of the vehicle and having a first surface and a second surface opposing each other. A bracket is disposed around the contactless sensor and is fixed to the interior component. A first buffer member is interposed between the first surface of the contactless sensor and the interior component. A second buffer member is mounted on the second surface of the contactless sensor. Additionally, a leaf spring presses the second buffer member and the contactless sensor toward the interior component.

  • Patent number: 11077857
    Abstract: A device for controlling alcohol interlock according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a sensor for obtaining position information and breath information of a fellow passenger, and a controller that determines whether a blood alcohol concentration of the fellow passenger is measured based on the position information and the breath information of the fellow passenger, and determines whether to re-measure a blood alcohol concentration based on the determination result. Thus, the device may prevent surrogate measurement of the fellow passenger, so that a driver's own blood alcohol concentration may be measured accurately, and drunk driving of a driver may be fundamentally prevented.

  • Patent number: 10977507
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for monitoring a driver. The apparatus includes one or more sensors that are embedded in a seat belt and that measure electrical resistances according to a movement of the driver, respectively, and a controller that estimates a posture of the driver, based on changes of the electrical resistances measured by the sensors.

  • Publication number: 20210101482
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling alcohol interlock includes a sensor that senses an environment of a driver's seat and a camera that obtains a face image of a passenger and an image of exhalation of the passenger. A controller activates a start lock mode of a vehicle and determines whether a condition for detecting components of the exhalation of the passenger is satisfied based on the environment of the driver's seat. The controller determines whether the exhalation of the passenger is exhalation of a driver based on the face image of the passenger and the image of the exhalation of the passenger, and determines whether to detect alcohol concentration in the exhalation of the passenger based on the determination result.

  • Publication number: 20210009064
    Abstract: A safe exiting assistance system includes an object detector that detects an object which approaches from a rear side of a vehicle, a body detector that detects physical information of a passenger in the vehicle, a door opening/closing detector that detects door opening or closing information of the vehicle, a determiner that determines whether a situation requires alert to the passenger in response to detection results of the object detector and the door opening/closing detector and calculates a value sensed by the body detector in response to vehicle information set in advance, and a controller that differently controls a position and an irradiation angle of a light source in response to the physical information when information in which the alert is necessary is received from the determiner.
