AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Drivers do not continuously observe objects they have only glanced at while driving, which may lead to excessive notifications. In the existing technology, it may be unnecessary to notify when the driver's gaze is not directed towards the object.

Method used

By detecting information around the vehicle, the driver's line of sight is inferred, and visual observation and identification of signs are controlled. Notifications are suppressed while the identification of signs is active, and the signs are turned off after predetermined conditions are met to suppress excessive notifications.

Benefits of technology

It effectively curbs excessive notifications to drivers, ensuring that notifications are timely and necessary when drivers identify the target.

Abstract

A driving assistance device is provided with: a detection means for detecting, on the basis of information about the surroundings of a vehicle, an object to be notified, which is an object to be notified to a driver of the vehicle; an estimation means that estimates the direction of sight of the driver; a first control means that, on the basis of the line-of-sight direction, when the driver visually observes the object to be notified, controls to open a visual observation mark indicating whether or not the driver visually observes the object to be notified; a second control means that, when the visual observation mark is set to be on, controls a recognition mark indicating whether or not the driver is recognizing the notification object to be on; and a suppression mechanism.
