Abstract

The present disclosure provides a vehicle control device, a vehicle control method and a head-up display apparatus. The vehicle control device includes: an extraction circuit used to extract brain wave signals of a user; and a control circuit used to determine whether the user is in an unsafe driving state according to the brain wave signals, and perform at least one of operations including issuing a warning reminder and controlling vehicle deceleration when determining that the user is in the unsafe driving state.

Claims (13)

1. A vehicle control device comprising:

a brain wave extractor configured to extract brain wave signals of a user; and

a vehicle safety control circuit configured to determine whether the user is in an unsafe driving state according to the brain wave signals, and perform at least one of operations including issuing a warning reminder and controlling vehicle deceleration when determining that the user is in the unsafe driving state;

wherein the vehicle safety control circuit is further configured to, according to the brain wave signals, determine whether a proportion of θ waves in the brain wave signals exceeds a θ wave threshold, whether a proportion of β waves in the brain wave signals exceeds a β wave threshold, or whether a proportion of γ waves in the brain wave signals exceeds a γ wave threshold;

when determining that the proportion of θ waves in the brain wave signals exceeds the θ wave threshold, the proportion of β waves in the brain wave signals exceeds the β wave threshold, or the proportion of γ waves in the brain wave signals exceeds the γ wave threshold, the vehicle safety control circuit performs at least one of operations including issuing the warning reminder and controlling vehicle deceleration;

wherein the vehicle control device further comprises a push circuit configured to push an operation instruction for the user;

wherein the vehicle safety control circuit is further configured to determine whether the user is concerned about the operation instruction according to the brain wave signals of the user; when determining that the user is concerned about the operation instruction, the vehicle safety control circuit issues an instruction for performing corresponding operation;

wherein the vehicle safety control circuit is further configured to, after the push circuit pushes the operation instruction for the user, determine whether a proportion of α waves in the brain wave signals of the user exceeds a α wave threshold according to the brain wave signals of the user; and determine that the user is concerned about the operation instruction, when the proportion of α waves in the brain wave signals of the user exceeds the α wave threshold.

2. The vehicle control device of claim 1 , wherein the θ wave has a frequency of 4 Hz-7 Hz as well as an amplitude of 5 μV-20 μV; the β wave has a frequency of 14 Hz-30 Hz as well as an amplitude of 100 μV-150 μV; and the γ wave has a frequency of 30 Hz-80 Hz.

3. The vehicle control device of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle safety control circuit is further configured to calculate a time period during which the user is in the unsafe driving state; when the time period during which the user is in the unsafe driving state exceeds an unsafe time threshold, the vehicle safety control circuit controls a vehicle to stop.

4. The vehicle control device of claim 1 , wherein the operation instruction includes at least one of a vehicle turning instruction, a speed instruction, a call connection instruction, a backlight brightness adjustment instruction or a music play instruction.

5. The vehicle control device of claim 4 , wherein the θ wave has a frequency of 4 Hz-7 Hz as well as an amplitude of 5 μV-20 μV.

6. The vehicle control device of claim 1 , wherein the brain wave extractor includes an electrode cap.
