Abstract

Sound signals that are not audible are generated by one or more speakers disposed in the vehicle. Reflected sound signals from a driver or a passenger of the vehicle that are not audible are received by one or more microphones disposed in the vehicle. A behavior-induced acoustic pattern is detected based on the reflected ultrasound signals. The behavior-induced acoustic pattern is analyzed to recognize a behavior of the driver or the passenger of the vehicle. A response or an alert is generated according to the recognized behavior of the driver or the passenger in the vehicle.
