[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the abnormal driver actions obtained by the driver detection system 30 include fatigued driving behavior, distracted driving behavior, and dangerous driving behavior. The driver detection system 30 includes a right domain controller 31, which is connected to the right side window controller 26 and the electric air vent module 27. The right domain controller 31 is used to receive information from the right side window and the air conditioning, and to simplify the electronic circuitry of the right side window controller 26 and the electric air vent module 27.

[0056] The left domain controller 32 is connected to the brake-by-wire system 21, the combination switch module 22, the rear motor control unit 23, the front motor control unit 24, and the left window controller.

[0057] In this embodiment, the left domain controller 32 cooperates with the right domain controller 31 to receive vehicle control information, and the configuration of the left domain controller 32 and the right domain controller 31 simplifies the wiring of each component in the vehicle control module 20.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the feedback instructions generated by the driver detection system 30 include a text reminder signal, a distraction driving warning sound signal, a camera blocked or malfunction feedback signal, a voice reminder signal, and a volume adjustment signal. The motion instructions generated by the driver detection system 30 include a negative ion opening request signal, an air conditioner wind speed reduction request signal, a vehicle window opening angle request signal, and an air conditioner internal and external circulation mode switching request signal. The driver detection system 30 further includes a digital cockpit 33 connected to the driver monitoring camera 10. The digital cockpit 33 is configured to receive and analyze the image information of the driver sent by the driver monitoring camera 10. The digital cockpit 33 is further connected to the left domain controller 32 and receives the vehicle state information sent by the left domain controller 32.

The right vehicle window controller 26 receives the vehicle window control signals, and the electric air outlet module 27 receives the wind speed adjustment signals.

[0059] For example, the driver detection system 30 further includes a digital cockpit 33 connected to the driver monitoring camera 10. The digital cockpit 33 is configured to receive and analyze the image information of the driver sent by the driver monitoring camera 10. The digital cockpit 33 is further connected to the left domain controller 32 and receives the negative ion opening state feedback signal, the air conditioner wind speed feedback signal, the air conditioner internal and external circulation mode switching feedback signal, the steering wheel angle signal, and the actual gear signal and vehicle speed signal sent by the left domain controller 32.

[0060] The digital cockpit 33 generates a text reminder signal, a distraction driving warning sound signal, a camera blocked or malfunction feedback signal, a voice reminder signal, a volume adjustment signal, a negative ion opening request signal, an air conditioner wind speed reduction request signal, a vehicle window opening angle request signal, and an air conditioner internal and external circulation mode switching request signal based on the driver image information sent by the driver monitoring camera 10 and the negative ion opening state feedback signal, the air conditioner wind speed feedback signal, the air conditioner internal and external circulation mode switching feedback signal, the steering wheel angle signal, the actual gear signal, and the vehicle speed signal sent by the left domain controller 32.

[0061] The left domain controller 32 receives the negative ion opening request signal, the air conditioner wind speed reduction request signal, the vehicle window opening angle request signal, and the air conditioner internal and external circulation mode switching request signal, and sends the above signals to the right domain controller 31. The right domain controller 31 generates a vehicle window control signal and a wind speed adjustment signal according to the above signals. The right vehicle window controller 26 receives the vehicle window control signal, and the electric air outlet module 27 receives the wind speed adjustment signal.

[0062] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 The driver interaction system 40 includes an instrument cluster 41 connected with the digital cockpit 33, receiving the text reminder signal, the distracted driving warning sound signal, and the camera blocked or failure feedback signal. The instrument cluster 41 gives a text prompt according to the text reminder signal, the distracted driving warning sound signal, and the camera blocked or failure feedback signal.

[0063] The audio power amplifier module 42 is connected with the digital cockpit 33, receiving the voice reminder signal and the volume adjustment signal. The audio power amplifier module 42 generates a voice reminder instruction and a volume adjustment instruction according to the voice reminder signal and the volume adjustment signal.

[0064] The loudspeaker 43 is connected with the audio power amplifier module 42, receiving the voice reminder instruction and the volume adjustment instruction.

[0065] The instrument cluster 41 is connected with the digital cockpit 33, receiving the text reminder signal, the distracted driving warning sound signal, and the camera blocked or failure feedback signal. The instrument cluster 41 gives a text prompt according to the text reminder signal, the distracted driving warning sound signal, and the camera blocked or failure feedback signal.

[0066] The audio power amplifier module 42 is connected with the digital cockpit 33, receiving the voice reminder signal and the volume adjustment signal. The audio power amplifier module 42 generates a voice reminder instruction and a volume adjustment instruction according to the voice reminder signal and the volume adjustment signal.

[0067] The loudspeaker 43 is connected with the audio power amplifier module 42, receiving the voice reminder instruction and the volume adjustment instruction. The loudspeaker 43 plays a voice reminder and adjusts the volume size according to the voice reminder instruction and the volume adjustment instruction.

[0068] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment also provides a control method of the intelligent driver behavior monitoring and safety reminding system, including the following steps.

[0069] Step one, obtaining the state information of the vehicle through the vehicle control module 20, and obtaining the image information of the driver through the driver monitoring camera 10.

[0070] Step two, the driver detection system 30 receives the vehicle condition information sent by the vehicle control module 20 and the driver image information obtained by the driver monitoring camera 10, and judges whether to execute the driver behavior monitoring and safety reminding according to the vehicle condition information. If the driver behavior monitoring and safety reminding is executed, the driver detection system 30 judges whether the driver abnormal action occurs according to the vehicle condition information and the driver image information.

[0071] Step three, if the driver abnormal action occurs, the driver detection system 30 opens the intelligent care mode through the driver abnormal action, and generates different feedback instructions and motion instructions according to different intelligent care modes.

[0072] Step four, the driver interaction system 40 performs voice reminding and graphic text reminding according to the different feedback instructions obtained in step three, and the vehicle control module 20 adjusts the vehicle state according to the different motion instructions obtained in step three, so as to remind the driver to return to normal driving behavior through adjusting the vehicle state.

[0073] In this embodiment, the abnormal driving action of the driver is obtained by real-time monitoring of the driver behavior, and multi-level safety reminding is provided according to different abnormal driving actions of the driver, so as to effectively improve the driving safety.

[0074] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The driver abnormal action obtained in step two includes fatigue driving behavior, distraction driving behavior and dangerous action driving behavior. If the intelligent care of fatigue driving behavior is opened, the voice reminding about fatigue driving is played through the loudspeaker 43, the graphic text reminding about fatigue driving is played through the combination instrument panel 41, the vehicle window is controlled to be lowered through the left and right window controllers 26, and the air conditioner is controlled to be opened through the electric air outlet module 27, so as to remind the driver to return to normal driving behavior.

[0075] For example, when the camera monitors that the driver has fatigue behavior, the system judges the fatigue driving into two levels of heavy and light by combining the current driving time obtained by the vehicle control module 20, and different levels of prompting are provided respectively. When the light fatigue driving behavior (yawning and closing eyes for a short time) is monitored, the voice reminding "you have light fatigue" is played through the loudspeaker 43, and the text prompting is displayed on the combination instrument panel 41 for 10 seconds. If the driver continues the above fatigue driving behavior, the reminding is continued at intervals of 3 seconds until the action stops. If the action continues during the period, no response is given.

[0076] When the heavy fatigue driving behavior (closing eyes for more than 2 seconds) is monitored, the loudspeaker 43 reminds you that you have heavy fatigue, and the combination instrument panel 41 displays the text prompting for 10 seconds.

[0077] If the driver continues the fatigue driving behavior, the system continues to remind every 3 seconds until the action stops, and the system does not react during the continued action.

[0078] When both the mild fatigue driving behavior and the severe fatigue driving behavior exist, the system sends a signal state of the severe fatigue driving level value, and executes the action of the severe fatigue driving behavior.

[0079] The condition for not enabling the intelligent care function of the fatigue driving behavior is that the vehicle power gear is switched to the off state.

[0080] Through the information obtained by the camera and the vehicle control module 20, the degree of fatigue driving is distinguished, and corresponding vehicle reminding actions are executed according to the fatigue degree of the driver, so as to provide multi-level safety reminders about fatigue driving in this way, and further improve driving safety.

[0081] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 If the intelligent care of the distraction driving behavior is enabled, the system plays a voice reminder about the distraction driving through the loudspeaker 43, plays a text and image reminder about the distraction driving through the combination instrument 41, controls the window to be lowered through the left and right window controllers 26, controls the air conditioner to be turned on through the electric air outlet module 27, and adjusts the volume of the voice reminder, the prominence of the text and image reminder, and the opening size of the window, so as to remind the driver to return to the normal driving behavior.

[0082] For example, during driving, all behaviors that do not pay attention to driving are called distraction behaviors (such as looking down for something, looking left and right, etc.), and the system monitors the above behaviors for 3 seconds, and plays a voice reminder through the loudspeaker 43: please concentrate, drive carefully, and at the same time, the combination instrument 41 plays a text prompt and a warning sound reminder (by default) for 10 seconds. The air conditioner is turned on through the electric air outlet module 27, and the window is lowered through the left and right window controllers 26, so as to further remind the driver to return to the normal driving behavior through the opening and closing of the air conditioner and the window and adjustment.

[0083] If the driver continues the distraction behavior, the system continues to remind every 3 seconds until the action stops, and the system does not react during the continued action.

[0084] The driver monitoring camera 10 is used to observe the driver's action, so as to reduce false positives, for example, observing that the driver looks at the outside mirror, looks at the rear blind spot, etc. is not considered as a distraction behavior.

[0085] When the attention and fatigue monitoring work together, the distraction alarm is preferentially reminded when both distraction and fatigue occur.

[0086] The condition for not enabling the intelligent care function of the distraction driving behavior is that the vehicle power gear is switched to the off state.

[0087] Compared with the fatigue driving behavior, the distraction driving behavior is more likely to cause danger, so the safety reminding mode is increased to further improve the driving safety.

[0088] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 If the intelligent care of dangerous driving behavior is started, the voice reminder about the dangerous driving is played through the loudspeaker 43, the text and picture reminder about the dangerous driving is played through the combination instrument panel 41, the vehicle window is controlled to be lowered through the left and right window controllers 26, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned on through the electric air outlet module 27, and the volume of the voice reminder, the prominence of the text and picture reminder, the opening size of the vehicle window, and the air inlet and outlet of the vehicle air conditioner are adjusted to remind the driver to return to the normal driving behavior.

[0089] When the camera monitors the dangerous driving behavior (such as smoking, drinking, and making a phone call) for 3 seconds, the intelligent care reminds the driver to pay attention to the driving safety through the combination instrument panel 41 and the loudspeaker 43, and the text prompt on the combination instrument panel 41 lasts for 10 seconds. If the driver continues the dangerous driving behavior, the reminder is continued at intervals of 3 seconds until the behavior is stopped. If the driver continues the behavior during the reminder, no response is given.

[0090] When the driver's smoking behavior is monitored, no dangerous driving reminder is given, and the intelligent care of the dangerous driving behavior is activated according to the conditions, the electric air outlet module 27 is turned on to realize the opening of the negative ion purification and the switching of the internal and external circulation, and the left and right window controllers 25 and 26 are turned on to open the vehicle window by 30°.

[0091] When the driver's phone call behavior is monitored, no dangerous driving reminder is given, and the media playback volume and the air conditioner speed are actively reduced (by 10). After the phone call is finished, the media playback volume is actively restored. When the phone Bluetooth is connected with the car Bluetooth, the incoming call and the phone call actively reduce the volume and the air conditioner speed, and the Bluetooth strategy is preferentially executed. The driver monitoring camera does not perform repeated operations.

[0092] The condition for not starting the intelligent care function of the dangerous driving behavior is that the vehicle power supply gear is switched to the off state.

[0093] The information obtained through the camera and the vehicle control module 20 is used to distinguish the dangerous behavior, so that corresponding vehicle reminding actions are performed according to the dangerous behavior of the driver, so as to provide multi-level safety reminders about the fatigue driving in this way to further improve the driving safety.

[0094] The application is described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the specific implementation of the application is not limited to the above-described manner, and as long as such non-essential improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solutions of the application, or the concept and technical solutions of the application are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the application.
