The vehicle behavior sensor measures the physical momentum of a vehicle. The posture measurement sensor measures the posture of a testee. The pattern database stores standardized representative patterns. The BCG measurement unit measures the BCG signal of the testee. The signal processing unit obtains desired data by matching the BCG signal with a pattern of the pattern database, searching the pattern database for a new pattern when the posture of the testee and the physical momentum of the vehicle may be changed, and matching the BCG signal of the BCG measurement unit with the new pattern. The biostate recognition unit recognizes the biostate of the testee.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2013Publication date: May 7, 2015Applicants: Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Dymos Incorporated, SNU R&DB Foundation, Kia Motors Corp.Inventors: Byung Jae LEE, Sung Jin Sah, Hee Chan Kim, Taek Jun Nam, Tae Hyoung Yang, In Ho Lee, Chi Yul Yoon, Seung Woo Noh

Publication number: 20130158415Abstract: A ballistocardiogram (BCG) analysis apparatus, method, and system is provided for utilizing the BCG for a vehicle. A basic pattern is selected when measurement of a BCG is initiated. Data about BCG is measured for a predetermined period of time. Whether the basic pattern is suitable for the measured data is determined by comparing the measured data with the basic pattern. If the basic pattern is suitable for the measured BCG data, continuous data about the BCG is collected. Signal processing is performed based on pattern matching using the continuous data. A biological condition of the examinee is recognized using results of the signal processing. A posture of the examinee is measured, and if the posture of the examinee has changed, a pattern DB is searched, the basic pattern is changed to a suitable pattern, and then signal processing is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2012Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicants: Hyundai Motor Company, SNU R&DB Foundation, Kia Motors CorporationInventors: Gil Ju KIM, Sun Woo CHOI, Sang Man SEO, In Ho LEE, Tae Hyoung YANG, Hee Chan KIM, Seung Woo NOH, Chi Yul YOON
