Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of safe driving in automobiles, specifically to a method, system, and apparatus for disabling mobile phones when a driver is using a mobile phone. Background Technology

[0002] Driver inattention while driving has become an important and critical issue, especially the inattention caused by using mobile communication devices while performing driving tasks.

[0003] Currently, the industry has made numerous attempts to find an effective solution to this problem, but all have encountered a number of problems, such as disabling mobile communication functions for all occupants in the vehicle (not just the driver).

[0004] Other solutions are easily circumvented by drivers, such as using mechanical means to detect whether the driver is focused on driving, like detecting whether the driver's hands are on the steering wheel, which is not very effective. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for disabling a mobile phone when a driver is using it, comprising a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0006] Image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode.

[0007] The image signals from the first and second cameras are processed by the control unit. When the control unit determines that the image from the first and second cameras indicates that a mobile phone is being used, or when one camera detects that a mobile phone is being used while the other does not, it determines that the driver is using a mobile phone (the specific judgment logic can be set according to actual needs). The control unit then sends commands to the bound mobile phone to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, and to turn on airplane mode, so that the driver cannot use the mobile phone and can focus on driving.

[0008] Furthermore, the control unit acquires vehicle speed signals through the vehicle's sensors, and combines these signals with image signals from the first and second cameras to make a comprehensive judgment. When the vehicle speed is zero, the control unit does not issue commands to the bound mobile phone. When the vehicle is stationary, the driver can use the mobile phone normally.

[0009] Furthermore, the control unit uses a deep neural network to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone. The deep neural network can effectively determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone.

[0010] Furthermore, the deep neural network includes a first deep neural network and a second deep neural network. The first deep neural network is used to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone in the image transmitted by the first camera, and the second deep neural network is used to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone in the image transmitted by the second camera. Using one deep neural network to detect one camera allows for more accurate judgments.

[0011] Furthermore, the control unit obtains advance permission for the vehicle's movement. When the first camera cannot detect the driver's eyes or the second camera cannot detect the driver's entire face, and the vehicle's speed is zero, the control unit prohibits the vehicle from moving. This effectively prevents the driver from obscuring or moving the cameras to evade system detection.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a signal jamming module. After the control unit sends a command to the bound mobile phone, if the control unit determines that the driver is using a mobile phone through the image signals of the first and second cameras, it will activate the signal jamming module to interfere with the mobile phone signal of the entire vehicle, preventing the driver from using an unbound mobile phone to circumvent the system.

[0013] A system for disabling a mobile phone when a driver is using it is also provided, comprising a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera, wherein the first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, and the second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face; the image signals from the first camera and the second camera are transmitted to the control unit, which determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone; the control unit is pre-bound to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network.

[0014] Furthermore, the first and second cameras are positioned within the vehicle's interior rearview mirror, effectively concealing the cameras and not affecting the driving experience.

[0015] Furthermore, the angles of the first and second cameras are adjustable, allowing the system to function properly based on the driver's height and driving habits.

[0016] A computing device is also provided, including a processor and a memory, wherein executable code is stored in the memory, and when the executable code is executed by the processor, the processor performs the method described above.

[0017] This invention allows drivers to disable their mobile phones while driving, enabling them to focus on driving. It also ensures that, with the driver refraining from using their phone, it does not interfere with the mobile phone use of other vehicle occupants. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention and not the entire structure.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] This embodiment is a method for disabling a mobile phone when a car driver is using it. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0022] Image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode.

[0023] The image signals from the first and second cameras are processed by the control unit. When the control unit determines that the image from the first and second cameras indicates that a mobile phone is being used, or when one camera detects that a mobile phone is being used while the other does not, it determines that the driver is using a mobile phone (the specific judgment logic can be set according to actual needs), and sends commands to the bound mobile phone to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, and turn on airplane mode, etc.

[0024] Disabling cellular data and Wi-Fi networks prevents drivers from using their phones for entertainment or other activities. Enabling airplane mode disables the phone's transmitter and receiver, effectively preventing calls and allowing the driver to focus on driving. Furthermore, if the driver refrains from using their phone, it will not affect other vehicle occupants' phone use.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] This embodiment is a method for disabling a mobile phone when a car driver is using it. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0027] The image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode. It also obtains the vehicle's speed information through the vehicle's sensors.

[0028] The image signals from the first and second cameras are processed by the control unit. When the control unit determines that the driver is using a mobile phone, or when one camera detects that the driver is using a mobile phone while the other does not, it is determined that the driver is using a mobile phone (the specific judgment logic can be set according to actual needs). If the vehicle speed information is not zero, the control unit sends a command to the bound mobile phone to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, and to turn on airplane mode, etc., so that the driver can use the mobile phone normally when the vehicle is stationary.

[0029] Disabling cellular data and Wi-Fi networks prevents drivers from using their phones for entertainment or other activities. Enabling airplane mode disables the phone's transmitter and receiver, effectively preventing calls and allowing the driver to focus on driving. Furthermore, if the driver refrains from using their phone, it will not affect other vehicle occupants' phone use.

[0030] Example 3:

[0031] This embodiment is a method for disabling a mobile phone when a car driver is using it. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0032] The image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode. It also obtains the vehicle's speed information through the vehicle's sensors.

[0033] The control unit uses a deep neural network to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone. Deep neural networks are highly effective at this purpose. This embodiment uses a single deep neural network as an example. The input to the neural network consists of neurons whose pixels correspond to those of the first and second cameras, along with the vehicle speed signal. The output of the neural network is a single neuron that corresponds to the detection result, indicating that the driver is using a mobile phone while driving.

[0034] The image signals from the first and second cameras are processed by the control unit. When the control unit determines that the driver is using a mobile phone, or when one camera detects that the driver is using a mobile phone while the other does not, it is determined that the driver is using a mobile phone (the specific judgment logic can be set according to actual needs). If the vehicle speed information is not zero, the control unit sends a command to the bound mobile phone to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, and to turn on airplane mode, etc., so that the driver can use the mobile phone normally when the vehicle is stationary.

[0035] Disabling cellular data and Wi-Fi networks prevents drivers from using their phones for entertainment or other activities. Enabling airplane mode disables the phone's transmitter and receiver, effectively preventing calls and allowing the driver to focus on driving. Furthermore, if the driver refrains from using their phone, it will not affect other vehicle occupants' phone use.

[0036] Example 4:

[0037] This embodiment is a method for disabling a mobile phone when a car driver is using it. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0038] The image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode. It also obtains the vehicle's speed information through the vehicle's sensors.

[0039] The control unit uses a deep neural network to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone. Deep neural networks are highly effective at this purpose. This embodiment uses a dual deep neural network, comprising a first deep neural network and a second deep neural network. The first deep neural network determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone in images transmitted from a first camera, and the second deep neural network determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone in images transmitted from a second camera. Using one deep neural network for each camera allows for more accurate judgments.

[0040] The image signals from the first and second cameras are processed by the control unit. When the control unit determines that the driver is using a mobile phone, or when one camera detects that the driver is using a mobile phone while the other does not, it is determined that the driver is using a mobile phone (the specific judgment logic can be set according to actual needs). If the vehicle speed information is not zero, the control unit sends a command to the bound mobile phone to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, and to turn on airplane mode, etc., so that the driver can use the mobile phone normally when the vehicle is stationary.

[0041] Disabling cellular data and Wi-Fi networks prevents drivers from using their phones for entertainment or other activities. Enabling airplane mode disables the phone's transmitter and receiver, effectively preventing calls and allowing the driver to focus on driving. Furthermore, if the driver refrains from using their phone, it will not affect other vehicle occupants' phone use.

[0042] Example 5:

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment is a method for disabling a mobile phone when a car driver is using it. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0044] The image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode. It also obtains the vehicle's speed information through the vehicle's sensors.

[0045] The control unit uses a deep neural network to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone. Deep neural networks are highly effective at this purpose. This embodiment uses a dual deep neural network, comprising a first deep neural network and a second deep neural network. The first deep neural network determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone in images transmitted from a first camera, and the second deep neural network determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone in images transmitted from a second camera. Using one deep neural network for each camera allows for more accurate judgments.

[0046] The image signals from the first and second cameras are processed by the control unit. When the control unit determines that the driver is using a mobile phone, or when one camera detects that the driver is using a mobile phone while the other does not, it is determined that the driver is using a mobile phone (the specific judgment logic can be set according to actual needs). If the vehicle speed information is not zero, the control unit sends a command to the bound mobile phone to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, and to turn on airplane mode, etc., so that the driver can use the mobile phone normally when the vehicle is stationary.

[0047] Disabling cellular data and Wi-Fi networks prevents pilots from using their phones for entertainment or other activities. Enabling airplane mode also disables the phone's transmitter and receiver, effectively preventing the phone from being used and allowing the pilot to focus on driving.

[0048] Based on this, the control unit pre-obtains the vehicle's movement permission. When the first camera cannot detect the driver's eyes or the second camera cannot detect the driver's entire face, and the vehicle speed is zero, the control unit prohibits the vehicle from moving. This effectively prevents the driver from obstructing or moving the cameras to avoid system detection, and it does not interfere with the normal driving of the vehicle when the speed is not zero, preventing erroneous operations caused by camera damage during vehicle operation. Furthermore, if the driver refrains from using their mobile phone, it will not affect the mobile phone use of other vehicle occupants.

[0049] Example 6:

[0050] This embodiment is a method for disabling a mobile phone when a car driver is using it. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving. The second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is performing mobile phone communication operations.

[0051] The image signals from the first and second cameras are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit is pre-binded to the driver's mobile phone and has at least the permission to disable cellular data network and WIFI network, or directly the permission to turn on airplane mode. It also obtains the vehicle's speed information through the vehicle's sensors.

This embodiment uses a dual deep neural network, comprising a first deep neural network and a second deep neural network. The first deep neural network determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone in images transmitted from a first camera, and the second deep neural network determines whether the driver is using a mobile phone in images transmitted from a second camera.

This effectively prevents the driver from obstructing or moving the cameras to avoid system detection, and it does not interfere with the normal driving of the vehicle when the speed is not zero, preventing erroneous operations caused by camera damage during vehicle operation.

[0056] In addition, a signal jamming module is included. After the control unit sends a command to the bound mobile phone, if the control unit determines that the driver is using a mobile phone based on the image signals from the first and second cameras, the signal jamming module is activated. It sends an interference RF signal (radio frequency signal) identical to that of the service operator in the area, effectively disabling mobile communication for all occupants inside the vehicle. This interference signal persists as long as the system detects that the driver is not fully focused on the driving task, until the driver is detected refocusing on the driving task, preventing the driver from using an unbound mobile phone to circumvent the system.

[0063] This embodiment is a system for disabling mobile phones when a car driver is using a mobile phone. It includes a control unit, a first camera, and a second camera. The first camera and the second camera are set in the rearview mirror of the vehicle, which can effectively hide the cameras and not affect the driving experience.

[0064] The first camera is used to detect the driver's eyes, focusing on the driver's eye state to detect whether the driver is fully focused on driving tasks; the second camera is used to detect the driver's entire face, focusing on the area around the driver's face to determine whether the driver is using a mobile phone for communication.
