Abstract
The driver monitoring device includes a processor configured to detect an opening/closing state of eyes of a driver of a vehicle based on a facial image in which a face of the driver is shown, judge whether the driver has fallen asleep based on the opening/closing state of the eyes, and judge whether the driver is talking. The processor is configured not to judge that the driver has fallen asleep while it is judged that the driver is talking.
