Abstract
A trunk locked-in person saving apparatus without using a mechanical lever. The trunk locked-in person saving apparatus includes: a pyroelectric sensor for detecting behavior of a person who is accidentally locked in a trunk; a detection apparatus for detecting a fact that a person is locked in the trunk based on a detection signal from the pyroelectric sensor; and a trunk opener for releasing a latch condition of the trunk. When the detection apparatus detects that a person is locked in the trunk, the detection apparatus controls the trunk opener to release the latch condition of the trunk.
