Method for preventing drunk driving

Abstract

An alcohol detection device (such as an alcohol detector or an assembly with an alcohol detection function) capable of detecting whether a driver drinks is arranged at a preset position in the automobile; the device can directly or indirectly send related signals (or wired signals or wireless signals or sound signals or images) to an intelligent control system or an automatic driving system of the vehicle (indirectly refers to a cloud end or an associated mobile phone and the like); relevant hardware of an intelligent control system or an automatic driving system can receive the signal, meanwhile, a relevant processing unit and the like can process the signal and execute a series of instructions and voice prompts for preventing drunk driving, and relevant information and data in the process can be processed and stored through the cloud end. Information in the process can be used for proving that the detected person does not intervene in vehicle driving through voice and limbs in the vehicle driving process.

Description

[0001] Technical field: The present invention relates to the field of road traffic safety and intelligent driving technology of vehicles.

[0002] Background technology: How to prevent and confirm drunk driving under intelligent driving or automatic driving? The inventors have carried out exploration and research and developed the following prevention and control methods.

[0003] Invention content: An alcohol detection device (such as an alcohol detector or a component with an alcohol detection function, etc.) that can determine whether the driver has been drinking is installed at a predetermined position in the vehicle, and this device can directly or indirectly (indirectly means through the cloud or an associated mobile phone, etc.) send relevant signals (either wired signals or wireless signals or sound signals or images) to the vehicle's intelligent control system or automatic driving system. The relevant hardware of the intelligent control system or the automatic driving system can receive this signal, and the relevant processing unit can also process this signal and execute a series of instructions and voice prompts to prevent drunk driving. In the process, relevant information and data can also be processed and stored through the cloud. The information in this process can be used to prove that the person being tested did not interfere with the driving of the vehicle through voice or body language during the driving of the vehicle. Specific implementation plan:

[0004] 1. An alcohol detection device (alcohol detector or some components with its function, etc.) is installed at a predetermined position in the vehicle, and this device can directly or indirectly transmit relevant signals (wireless or wired or sound or image, etc.) to the vehicle intelligent control system or automatic driving system. The component with alcohol detection function can also be a multimodal sensor (such as a multimodal sensor collection such as a breath alcohol sensor and a skin contact sensor, etc.).

[0005] 2. The relevant information transmitted by the alcohol detection device is received by the vehicle's intelligent control system (or automatic driving system or cloud). After the corresponding hardware and software of the intelligent control system (or automatic driving system) processes the result, if the alcohol content exceeds the preset value, it can execute a series of instructions and or voice prompts to prevent drunk driving: "You have drunk alcohol, please blow further to detect the alcohol content." The intelligent control system will then further verify and confirm. If no further breathalyzer is used to detect the alcohol content, the vehicle will be safely parked and cannot be driven, or the associated mobile phone (referring to the mobile phone and the bound mobile phone number) will need to request verification and confirmation from the cloud, etc., which can prevent drunk driving. The vehicle can only be driven normally after verification.

[0006] 3. After blowing, if the alcohol content reaches the preset value, the corresponding intelligent control system of the vehicle (or through the cloud, etc.) will issue a series of subsequent instructions and voice prompts that the person being tested cannot drive: ① "The alcohol content has exceeded the preset value, please do not drive the vehicle (or please do not drink and drive or please do not drive drunk)" ② "The vehicle will not be able to move after the scheduled time or after it is safely parked, etc." ③ "Please leave the driver's seat", ④ "Please enable the automatic driving system", ⑤ "Please do not operate or interfere with the driving of the vehicle", ⑥ "Please ask other non-drinking people with a driver's license to drive for you", ⑦ "Please make an online appointment for a designated driver to drive on the corresponding APP" and other voice prompts and or instructions;

[0007] In addition, when the vehicle's intelligent control system determines that the subject's alcohol content exceeds the standard, the vehicle's intelligent control system will also send corresponding warning information to the cloud and / or to associated mobile phones (referring to mobile phones and bound mobile phone numbers) and other third devices; associated mobile phones and other third devices can also receive certain information from the cloud, such as receiving verification code verification through the bound mobile phone number or watching the subsequent automatic driving of the vehicle online or watching the designated driver operating the vehicle's driving control on the APP.

[0008] 4. A pressure sensor is installed under the driver's seat, which transmits the information to the vehicle's intelligent control system or automatic driving system (or cloud) for processing and storage. The purpose of storage is to prove that the person being tested is not driving under the influence of alcohol.

[0009] 5. There is a camera system and audio recording equipment in the cab targeting the driver's seat and the vehicle's central control screen, and the relevant information is transmitted to the vehicle's intelligent control system for storage or cloud storage to prove that the person being tested did not physically or verbally interfere with the vehicle's driving (or on the road), and did not operate or interfere with the vehicle's driving through APP on mobile phones and other devices.

[0010] 6. Alcohol detectors can be installed at multiple locations inside the vehicle, not only in the appropriate position of the main driver, but also in the co-pilot seat and other positions. The purpose is to use the intelligent control system to compare and determine whether the driver has been drinking or other passengers have been drinking.

[0011] 7. The drinker makes an appointment for a designated driver on the corresponding APP via a mobile phone (or other mobile phone number bound to the vehicle's intelligent control system), and the vehicle's intelligent control system authorizes (or authorizes through the cloud and the bound mobile phone number, etc.) the designated driver to operate and control the vehicle on the APP;

[0012] Of course, the cloud needs to confirm that under 5G network speed or above, the mobile phones and other devices of the person being tested and other holders of the bound number can watch the real-time driving of the vehicle or the real-time automatic driving of the vehicle operated by the APP online.
