AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for detecting living organisms inside vehicles, such as those using millimeter waves, are prone to false positives due to interference from vehicle vibrations and external noise, particularly in mechanical parking systems, and fail to accurately detect vital signs in cases of minimal movement or breathing.

Method used

An in-vehicle biological detection device using millimeter-wave sensors that emit and receive waves through vehicle windows, combined with an intermediate frequency amplifier and discrimination device, to amplify and distinguish vital signals like respiration, pulse, and body movement, while utilizing anti-reflective and vibration damping devices to reduce noise interference.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively distinguishes and amplifies vital signals, reducing interference from vehicle vibrations and external noise, enabling reliable detection of living organisms inside vehicles.

Abstract

The present invention provides an in-vehicle biological detection means that can reliably detect living beings inside a vehicle by reducing the influence of noise from non-living objects, even when there is wind, and by detecting signals from respiration, pulse, and body movement without them being masked by each other. [Solution] The system comprises an anti-reflection device 20, a vibration damping device 30, an in-vehicle millimeter-wave sensor 12, an intermediate frequency amplifier 14, and a discrimination device 16. The anti-reflection device 20 prevents the reflection of millimeter waves 7 on the outside of the vehicle 4. The vibration damping device 30 changes the vibration mode I of the pallet 6 on which the vehicle 4 is placed to a higher order, thereby changing the vibration frequency distribution of the vehicle. The in-vehicle millimeter-wave sensor 12 irradiates millimeter waves 7 into the vehicle through its windows and receives the reflected wave data 8. The intermediate frequency amplifier 14 amplifies the frequency components of respiration, pulse, and body movement from the reflected wave data 8 with different amplification factors and outputs an amplified signal 9. The discrimination device 16 determines the presence or absence of a living organism from the amplified signal 9.
