Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent vehicle safety assistance system for preventing accidents. More specifically, it relates to an intelligent vehicle safety assistance system for preventing accidents having the following characteristics, which can notify a driver of a specific situation by vibrating a driving seat in a specific situation using a vibration generating module that can be installed on the driving seat. Background Art

[0002] Generally, various advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are installed on vehicles to improve the safety and convenience of drivers.

[0003] When driving a car, if the driver's attention is distracted due to sleepiness or negligence, it will inevitably cause an accident. Not only sleepiness while driving, but also smoking while driving, distraction while driving, etc., even if you don't pay attention to the front for a short while, can immediately cause an accident.

[0004] If this situation is prevented only by the driver's personal attention, his negligence will lead to extremely serious consequences, so various driving assistance devices are being developed.

[0005] There are many ways to identify inattentive driving. The main ones are to analyze the driver's image captured by a camera and to use an intelligent driving assistance system (ADAS: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to receive lane departure information to identify inattentive driving.

[0006] Recently, smart cars are being actively developed for the safety and convenience of drivers and pedestrians. Smart cars are the most advanced cars that integrate information technology and are also called "smart cars". Smart cars provide the best traffic efficiency not only by introducing advanced systems in the car itself, but also by linking with intelligent transportation systems.

[0007] The advantage of smart cars is that by developing core safety-related technologies such as ACC (adaptive cruise control), obstacle sensing, and collision sensing or mitigation devices, they not only maximize the safety of drivers and passengers, but also maximize the safety of pedestrians.

[0008] In order to ensure the safety of drivers and provide driving convenience, the development of driving assistance systems has been accelerated recently. The so-called driving simulation system refers to a system that uses sensor data recognized by sensors such as cameras and radars to perform vehicle steering control, braking, acceleration / deceleration and other vehicle controls, thereby assisting the vehicle to drive safely and conveniently.

[0026] In the present invention, vehicle safety-related convenience items can be directly set by the vehicle user to help the vehicle run. The user can set convenient functions, introduce vehicle functions and status by voice, and provide danger notifications through driver seat vibration.

[0027] Hereinafter, the components of the intelligent vehicle safety assistance system for preventing accidents will be described in detail according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] The intelligent vehicle safety assistance system for preventing accidents according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a sensing device 100 , a notification device 200 , a display device 300 , and a control device 400 .

[0029] The sensing device 100 can sense the vehicle speed and vehicle position, and includes a vehicle speed measurement module 110 , a parking space sensing module 120 , a rear side sensing sensor module 130 , and a camera module 140 .

[0030] The vehicle speed measurement module 110 can communicate with a navigation device equipped in the vehicle wirelessly or by wire to receive the vehicle speed information. If the vehicle does not have a navigation device, the vehicle speed can be measured using a built-in GPS unit.

[0031] The parking space sensing module 120 may receive the parking space information by wireless or wired communication with a navigation device equipped in the vehicle.

[0032] The rear side sensing sensor module 130 has an ultrasonic sensor and a short-range radar, so as to sense whether there are vehicles and obstacles behind the vehicle. The technology of using the rear side sensor 130 to sense objects in the blind spot of the vehicle has been widely used and has nothing to do with the scope of the present invention, so its detailed description is omitted.

[0033] The camera module 140 can be installed with a front camera and a rear camera at the front and rear ends of the vehicle, and a left and a right camera can be installed at the lower ends of the two side mirrors. The images captured by the camera module 140 can be queried on the display device 300 in real time.

[0034] The notification device 200 can notify a driver and other vehicles of a specific situation, and includes a light emitting module 210 , a voice guiding module 220 , a vibration generating module 230 , and an automatic emergency light turning-on module 240 .

[0035] The light emitting module 210 can be arranged on the rearview mirrors on both sides of the vehicle. When the vehicle turn signal indicator is turned on and the rear side vehicle and obstacles are sensed by the rear side sensing sensor module 130, the light emitting module 210 is illuminated to notify the driver that there is a vehicle behind.

[0036] The voice prompt module 220 can use a specified voice to notify the vehicle's functions and status. When performing gear shifting including parking (P), driving (D), neutral (N) and reverse (R), the voice prompt module 220 can use voice to prompt the gear shifting status. When the parking brake is activated, if the gear is shifted to driving (D), the voice prompt module 220 can use voice to prompt that the parking brake is being activated.

[0037] In addition, when the vehicle speed measured by the vehicle sensing device 100 and the linked door vehicle speed measurement module 110 exceeds the specified speed of the corresponding position, the voice guidance module 220 can start and send voice and warning sounds to recognize through hearing that the vehicle speed exceeds the specified speed.

[0038] In particular, when the vehicle is located in the child protection area through the parking space sensing module 120 of the vehicle sensing device, when the vehicle speed measured by the vehicle speed measurement module 110 exceeds the specified speed of the child protection area, the voice prompt module 220 is activated and can send voice and warning sounds to recognize through hearing that the vehicle speed exceeds the specified speed.

[0039] When the vehicle speed exceeds a prescribed speed, the voice prompt module 220 may continue to issue a warning sound until the vehicle speed slows down to below the prescribed speed, so that the driver can recognize that the prescribed speed has been exceeded.

[0040] The vibration generating module 240 can be installed on the driving seat of the vehicle and has a vibration motor, so that it can generate vibration. When the vehicle speed measured by the vehicle sensing device 100 and the linkage door vehicle speed measuring module 110 exceeds the prescribed speed at the corresponding position, the vibration generating module 240 starts the vibration motor to vibrate the driving seat of the vehicle, thereby notifying the driver of the situation of exceeding the prescribed speed.

[0041] In particular, when the vehicle is located in the child protection area through the parking space sensing module 120 of the vehicle sensing device 100, when the vehicle speed sensed by the vehicle speed measurement module 110 exceeds the specified speed of the child protection area, the vibration motor is started to vibrate the driving seat of the vehicle, thereby notifying the driver through tactile sensation that the specified speed has been exceeded.

[0042] When the vehicle speed exceeds the specified speed, the vibration generating module 240 can continue to generate vibration until the vehicle speed slows down to below the specified speed. In addition, when the vehicle changes lanes, the vibration generating module 240 can vibrate the driver's seat to notify the driver that the vehicle is approaching when the rear side sensing sensor module senses that the vehicle is approaching from the corresponding direction.

[0043] When a vehicle driver connects a mobile phone to the vehicle through Bluetooth to make a call, even if the warning sound does not sound or the warning sound sounds, the vehicle driver may not be able to recognize it. The present invention can not only notify the driver through hearing, but also notify the driver of exceeding the specified speed and approaching vehicles when changing lanes through vibration of the driving seat.

[0044] The automatic emergency light turning module 230 is linked with the self-sensing device to repeatedly turn on and off the emergency light for a predetermined number of times under specific conditions. When the vehicle speed measured by the vehicle speed measurement module 110 of the vehicle sensing device 100 decelerates sharply within a specified time, the automatic emergency light turning module 230 is activated and can automatically turn on and off the emergency light. When shifting gears, the automatic emergency light turning module is activated and can automatically turn on and off the emergency light.

[0045] For example, when the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 80 km / h or more and then decelerates to below 30 km / h, the emergency lights can be automatically turned on and off by the automatic emergency light turning module.

[0046] When driving on a road with a high average speed, such as an expressway or a dedicated road for automobiles, and the speed suddenly slows down due to traffic congestion, the driver previously had to move his sight from the front to the inside of the vehicle in order to directly activate the emergency lights, thus causing an accident due to not paying attention to the front.

[0047] In the present invention, when the vehicle speed decelerates suddenly, the automatic emergency light turning on module 230 automatically turns on and off the emergency light, so that the driver does not need to directly operate the emergency light switch, thus solving this problem.

[0048] In addition, when parking or reversing for a specific reason, the automatic emergency light module turns on and off the emergency lights to notify other vehicles to reverse, thus preventing accidents.

[0049] The display device 300 can intuitively inform the driver of the vehicle status and surrounding conditions, and includes a panoramic surround view module 310 and a display module 320 .

[0050] The panoramic view module 310 may synthesize images captured by camera modules disposed at the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle to generate an image of the vehicle viewed from above.

[0051] The panoramic view module 310 can only be activated when the vehicle is below a certain speed. Through the panoramic view module, the driver can use the video to confirm the front, back, left, and right of the vehicle in real time.

[0052] In addition, when the vehicle is started, the image generated by the panoramic view module 310 is automatically sent through the display module, and when the vehicle is turned off, the image generated by the panoramic view module can be immediately and automatically sent through the display module.

[0053] According to the present invention, if the vehicle is started or turned off, the image generated by the panoramic view module can be automatically checked through the display module, so there is an advantage that the driver can check the surrounding situation through the display module and get off the vehicle when driving the vehicle or getting off the vehicle.

[0054] The control device 400 may control the operation of the notification device 200 , which includes a setting module 410 for a user terminal and a vehicle setting module 420 .

[0055] The setting module 410 for the user terminal may control the operation of the notification device through the user terminal including a computer and a PC, and includes a program update unit, a voice setting unit, and an operation setting unit.

[0056] The program update unit can confirm the vehicle model, the current version of the device, and the latest version of the device. If the device is not the latest version, the device can be updated to the latest version.

[0057] The voice setting unit can set the voice to be sent through the voice guidance module.

[0058] More specifically, the voice setting unit includes a voice editing unit capable of editing voices and a voice selection unit capable of selecting voices. The voice editing unit can add voices, and the added voices are composed of specific voice files. The user can select the voices they want or select specific voices to add. In addition, when adding voices, an integrated file generated in an integrated manner by the voices of all operations can be added, and a single file generated in an integrated manner by the voices of all operations can be added.

[0059] The voice files are generated according to the conditions and functions of each vehicle, for example, "Please fasten your seat belts", "Have a nice day", "In automatic off state", "In automatic off state", "In ISG off state", "In SVM operating state", "In neutral state", "In parked state", "In parking state", "Reverse state", "Driving state", "Turn on emergency lights", "Emergency lights off state", "Vehicle approaching", "Caution" and "Have a nice day" are all voices generated according to the conditions and functions of each vehicle.

[0060] The voice can be selected as female voice, male voice, etc., or the user can record the voice they want and make the selection.

[0061] The voice selection unit can select a voice by selecting a setting list. In the setting list, a voice list can be selected according to the vehicle's needs. In the setting list, a voice list can be selected according to the vehicle's needs. During a specific operation, the voice sent by the voice prompt module can be selected.

[0062] For example, the operation starts, and the voice of "I will work hard today" recorded by the children of the household is selected in the related voices, and the voice of "I will work hard today" of the children is sent through the voice prompt module when the vehicle starts.

[0063] The voice selection unit may generate a voice list by selecting a voice according to each operation, and when each voice is selected according to a specific operation to generate and store the voice list, the voice guidance module transmits the voice during the operation according to the voice set by the voice setting unit.

[0064] In the operation setting unit, the voice output operation of the voice guidance module can be turned on or off, and the voice volume of the sent voice can be determined by the voice guidance module, and the operation of the notification device including the intensity of the vibration generated by the vibration generation module can be set.

[0065] In the vehicle setting module, the user can set and control the operation of the notification device inside the vehicle, and can use the door lock device, gear and emergency light switch provided in the vehicle to set and control the operation.

[0066] Since the door lock device, gear and emergency light switch are provided in all vehicles, the system of the present invention can set and control the operation using the door lock device, gear and emergency light switch provided in all vehicles.

[0067] In order to set the operation, the driver of the vehicle can press P, N, P, N, P to shift gears in the Acc on state, and the prompt word to enter the set state will be sent from the voice prompt module.

[0068] In order to move the setting stage, if the gears are shifted in the order of P, N, P, it becomes the moving setting stage, and the prompt words will be sent from the voice prompt module.

[0069] In addition, in order to change the set value, the set value can be changed when the emergency light is operated in on and off sequence, and the prompt word is sent from the voice guidance module.

[0070] When you need to change a specific setting, you can use the door lock, gear, and emergency light switch to change it. For example, when setting the voice output of the voice prompt module, you can set the voice output if the door lock is locked and unlocked six times.

[0071] The above description is only an example of the technical purpose of the present invention. As long as it belongs to the technical personnel in the field to which the present invention belongs, various modifications, changes and substitutions can be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments and drawings disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical purpose of the present invention, but are intended to be explained, and the scope of the technical purpose of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments and drawings. The protection scope of the present invention should be interpreted according to the attached claims, and all technical purposes within the equivalent scope should be interpreted as included in the scope of rights of the present invention.
