Publication number: 20230107401Abstract: A state prediction system includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire a current state value indicating a current state of a targeted individual in a group. The controller is configured to acquire a state propagation amount indicating a state amount propagated from another person in the group to the targeted individual by communication between the targeted individual and the other person. The controller is configured to predict a future state value indicating a future state of the targeted individual from the acquired current state value of the targeted individual and the acquired state propagation amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasuo Katsuhara, Tomoya Takatani, Hayato Yamaguchi

Patent number: 10297131Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a drowsiness detection system that alerts the user to potentially drowsiness. The drowsiness detection system includes a sensor configured to detect a heart rate of a user. The drowsiness detection system includes an indicator configured to alert the user before the user becomes drowsy and a processor that is connected to the sensor and the indicator. The processor is configured to obtain the heart rate of the user and measure the heart rate of the user. The processor is configured to calculate at least one of a heart rate variability or a heart rate interval of the user based on the measured heart rate. The processor is configured to determine that the at least one of the heart rate variability or the heart rate interval of the user indicates that the user is becoming drowsy and activate the indicator to alert the user before the user becomes drowsy.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventor: Yasuo Katsuhara
