An apparatus and method for detecting an object in a vehicle may monitor start-up of the vehicle and a state of a door. The apparatus and method operate an interior detecting sensor of the vehicle in an infant detecting mode when an engine of the vehicle is turned off and the door is locked. The interior detecting sensor of the vehicle operates in an intrusion detecting mode when no infant is detected. Thus, an infant in the vehicle may be quickly and accurately detected, and an intruder in the vehicle may be detected for a long period of time using low power.

A pulse measurement system of a vehicle includes at least one vehicle device and a pulse measurement apparatus. The vehicle device is configured to recognize a user who rides in the vehicle and to provide information of the user. The pulse measurement apparatus is configured to recognize the user based on the information of the user received from the at least one vehicle device, to set a frequency band of a filter to a first frequency band or a second frequency band based on information of the recognized user, and to detect pulse information of the user based on a signal extracted from the signal reflected from the user by the filter when measuring a pulse of the user.

Pulse measurement apparatus, a method therefor, and a vehicle system therefor

A device and a method for detecting a stress level of a driver are provided. The device includes an electrocardiogram sensor for measuring an electrocardiogram of the driver using electrodes arranged on a steering wheel of a vehicle, and a controller that monitors the electrocardiogram of the driver, determines an invalid section in the electrocardiogram based on a shape of the electrocardiogram, and compensates for an electrocardiogram in the determined invalid section.

Device and method for detecting stress level of driver

A vehicle control system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a portable terminal that obtains a location of a driver, and a vehicle control device that determines whether to permit a delay of an occupant detection alert operation based on a location of a vehicle and the location of the driver, thereby minimizing an inconvenience of a driver due to the unnecessary occupant detection alert operation.

System and method for controlling vehicle

A sensor integration module for detecting vehicle interior information and an operation method thereof are provided. The sensor integration module includes: a first sensor enabled based on first operation information and providing a sensing result as first sensing information; a second sensor enabled based on second operation information and providing a sensing result as second sensing information; a first communication device that transmits and receives information with electronic devices in a vehicle; and a controller that generates the first and second operation information for selectively enabling the first and second sensors based on information provided from the first communication device and provides the first communication device with the result determined based on the first and second sensing information.

Sensor integration module for detecting a vehicle interior and an operation method thereof

A radar controller for a vehicle and a method therefore are provided. The radar controller includes a radar that detects a passenger located inside the vehicle and an obstacle located outside the vehicle and a controller that determines sensitivity and a detection speed corresponding to an operation mode of the radar and controls the radar to operate at the determined sensitivity and the determined detection speed.

Radar controller for vehicle and method thereof

An alcohol interlock control apparatus for a vehicle includes: a sensor configured to acquire a biosignal of an occupant that is seated in a driver's seat; and a controller configured to determine whether or not the occupant seated in the driver's seat has changed based on the biosignal of the occupant, and when changed, to determine whether the occupant is in a drunken state, and may identify a driver based on the biosignal of the occupant seated in the driver's seat without an additional device and cost, and may fundamentally block an improper alcohol measurement of an additional occupant instead of the driver.

Apparatus and method for controlling alcohol interlock of vehicle

A convenient device control apparatus for a vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The convenient device control apparatus includes a light source that emits light at a specified frequency and an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor that measures an EEG signal of a user. An EEG analyzer analyzes a frequency of the EEG signal measured by the EEG sensor and a controller operates a convenient device in the vehicle based on the frequency of the EEG signal analyzed by the EEG analyzer.

Convenient device control apparatus for vehicle and method thereof

An embodiment device for recording an image for a vehicle includes an image acquisition device configured to acquire an image of a region around the vehicle, a sensor device configured to acquire a bio-signal of a driver, the bio-signal comprising a signal carrying information selected from the group consisting of a heart rate, an electrocardiogram, a galvanic skin response (GSR), a body temperature, a voice, a facial expression, and a stress level and combinations thereof, and a controller configured to determine sections of the acquired image to be stored in a non-volatile memory based on the bio-signal and store images of the sections in the non-volatile memory.

Device and method for recording image for vehicle

A photoacoustic, noninvasive, and continuous blood glucose measurement device includes: a diode laser for irradiating a living body with a pulsed laser signal having a specific wavelength; and an ultrasound transducer for measuring a photoacoustic signal in a form of ultrasonic waves generated by a reaction of the living body with the pulsed laser signal.

Photoacoustic, noninvasive, and continuous blood glucose measurement device

An apparatus for detecting an alcohol component of a driver's breath includes an inlet that absorbs a driver's exhalation and a passenger's exhalation, respectively, a sensor that detects an alcohol component in the driver's exhalation or the passenger's exhalation, a driver valve controlled to be opened or closed to allow the driver's exhalation to be introduced into the sensor and a passenger valve controlled to be opened or closed to allow the passenger's exhalation to be introduced into the sensor, and a controller that determines whether a passenger is on board a vehicle and controls the driver valve and the passenger valve to be open or closed based on a determination result. Therefore, the driver's breath is distinguished from the passenger's breath and the influence of the passenger is removed to detect the alcohol component in the driver's breath, thereby accurately determining the driver's drinking state.
