Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle user monitoring arrangement and a vehicle user monitoring method.

[0002] In modern automotive engineering, precise and continuous health monitoring of vehicle occupants often remains an unresolved challenge. Previous approaches frequently fail due to the need for the secure and seamless integration of health monitoring devices into vehicle systems.

[0003] One object of the present invention can be seen as providing an improved vehicle user monitoring arrangement and an improved vehicle user monitoring method.

[0004] This problem is solved by a vehicle user monitoring arrangement with the features of claim 1, and by a vehicle user monitoring method with the features of claim 10. According to the invention, the following is provided:

[0005] Vehicle user monitoring arrangement for monitoring the health status of a vehicle user, comprising a health measurement device for recording health parameters of the vehicle user, a digital key designed to electronically pair the health measurement device with the vehicle, and a control unit designed to perform predefined vehicle operations depending on the recorded health status of the vehicle user.

[0006] Furthermore, a vehicle user monitoring procedure is provided for monitoring the health status of a vehicle user, comprising the following steps: recording health parameters of the vehicle user by means of a health measuring device, electronically pairing the health measuring device with the vehicle by means of a digital key, performing predefined vehicle operations depending on the recorded health status of the vehicle user by means of a control unit.

[0007] The vehicle user monitoring system according to the invention represents an innovative solution that monitors the health of vehicle users while driving and reacts to detected health parameters. Key components of this system are a health measurement device, a digital key, and a control unit that work together to ensure the safety and well-being of the vehicle user.

[0008] The health monitoring device plays a fundamental role by continuously recording important health data of the vehicle occupant, such as heart rate and blood pressure. This data is crucial for assessing the occupant's current state of health. However, the true innovation of this system lies in the function of the digital key, which is responsible for the secure and efficient electronic pairing of the health monitoring device with the vehicle.

[0009] The electronic pairing according to the invention refers to the process by which the vehicle user's health monitoring device is securely and seamlessly connected to the vehicle system. This involves the use of a digital key specifically designed to electronically pair or connect the health monitoring device to the vehicle. This digital key enables encrypted data transmission between the two systems, ensuring that the collected health data can be securely and continuously transmitted to the vehicle in real time. Pairing occurs automatically when the user enters the vehicle, allowing health monitoring to begin immediately without the need for manual intervention.This method ensures high user-friendliness and contributes to safeguarding the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive health data, while simultaneously enabling reliable communication with the vehicle control unit.

[0010] The digital key according to the invention serves as a central element for the secure and efficient electronic pairing of the health monitoring device with the vehicle. The digital key also allows the vehicle to be unlocked and / or started. This key can be configured according to the CCC (Car Connectivity Consortium) Specifications Release 3.0, which define modern security standards and protocols for digital vehicle access control. The CCC Specifications Release 3.0 enable the digital key to ensure highly secure, encrypted communication between the health monitoring device and the vehicle. This not only ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the transmitted health data but also enables a fast and reliable connection, thus increasing user convenience.The digital key thus acts as a link between the external device and the vehicle, while simultaneously meeting the highest security standards that correspond to the requirements of modern connected vehicles.

[0011] Electronic pairing using a digital key offers several advantages. Firstly, it ensures secure communication between the health monitoring device and the vehicle by encrypting the transmitted data and thus protecting it from unauthorized access. This is particularly important because health information is among the most sensitive data, requiring a high level of protection. Secondly, the digital key enables fast and reliable data transmission, which is crucial for being able to react immediately in the event of an emergency.

[0012] Once the data has been securely transmitted, the control unit intervenes, which is specifically designed to perform precisely predefined vehicle operations based on the recorded health data. These operations can range from warnings and adjusting the vehicle speed to emergency procedures, depending on the severity of the recorded health conditions. This proactive approach to vehicle control significantly contributes to increased road safety and can be lifesaving in critical situations.

[0013] The control unit according to the invention could be technically designed as a mobile device that stores and manages the digital key and can at least partially take over the control of the vehicle. This mobile device could, for example, be designed as a smartphone or a special handheld device that has a secure app or software solution integrating the digital key according to CCC Specifications Release 3.0. In addition to storing and managing the digital key, the control unit could be able to communicate directly with the vehicle's control systems and perform a variety of functions. These include, for example, slowing down or stopping the vehicle in the event of critical medical conditions, adjusting the climate control, modifying navigation instructions, and triggering emergency calls or notifications to emergency contacts.This technical implementation makes it possible to combine vehicle control and health monitoring in a mobile, user-friendly device that can be used flexibly and easily carried along.

[0014] In one possible configuration, the control unit could be at least partially integrated into the vehicle, ensuring seamless and robust interaction with the vehicle systems. In this variant, the control unit would be housed as a central control unit within the vehicle itself, directly connected to the various sensors, the health monitoring device, and the vehicle systems. This integrated control unit could feature a powerful processing unit capable of processing the data provided by the digital key, as well as the vehicle user's recorded health parameters, in real time.

[0015] By integrating the system into the vehicle, functions such as automatically slowing down or stopping the vehicle, adjusting the climate control, changing the navigation route to a nearby medical facility, and triggering emergency calls could be controlled directly. This vehicle integration enables a direct connection to critical vehicle systems such as the engine control unit, brakes, and communication module, thereby minimizing response times in the event of a critical medical emergency.

[0016] Additionally, the control unit could have an interface that allows it to communicate with mobile devices or external systems, for example, for remote monitoring or control by the vehicle user via an app. This hybrid design, in which the control unit is both integrated into the vehicle and connected to external devices, offers a flexible and secure solution for monitoring the vehicle user's health and carrying out necessary vehicle operations.

[0017] Modern vehicles and health monitoring devices are often equipped with advanced communication technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra-Wideband (UWB). These technologies enable energy-efficient and precise data transmission over short distances. The availability of BLE and UWB in vehicles and health devices significantly simplifies the integration of the invention described herein, as it enables seamless and secure communication between the vehicle user's health monitoring devices and the vehicle. This compatibility allows the vehicle user monitoring arrangement according to the invention to be implemented without extensive additional hardware or software modifications, making the setup and operation of the monitoring functions more efficient and user-friendly.

[0018] Overall, the vehicle occupant monitoring system offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring drivers' health, further advancing technological integration in the automotive sector while simultaneously ensuring greater road safety.
