Abstract
A driver monitoring device includes: a processor; and a memory. The memory stores instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the driver monitoring device to perform operations including: detecting an unbalanced posture of a driver based on an image of a driver's seat; determining whether the unbalanced posture is a habitual unbalanced posture of the driver; calculating an opening degree of at least one eye of the driver based on the image in a case in which it is determined that the unbalanced posture is other than the habitual unbalanced posture; determining whether it is a timing to give a notification in a case in which the vehicle is traveling and the opening degree is equal to or larger than a first threshold; and giving the notification to the driver in a case in which it is determined that it is the timing to give the notification.
