An occupant protection device of a vehicle includes a table that is assigned to a vehicle seat. The table is actively movable into an occupant protection position when a collision or a danger of a collision of the vehicle is recognized. In the occupant protection position, an upper body of an occupant of the vehicle seat is supported by the table against a displacement caused by a collision.

Occupant protection device for a vehicle, vehicle having at least one occupant protection device, and method for operating an occupant protection device

A method for operating an occupant protection device of a vehicle involves triggering an occupant protection mechanism, in the event of an imminent detected collision for the vehicle or of a detected collision of the vehicle. The triggering also depends upon detected image data of at least one interior camera of the vehicle and the triggering can be suppressed based on the detected image data of the interior camera.
