Abstract

A driving warning method applied to a vehicle-mounted device is provided. The method includes detecting a moving object and a moving direction of the moving object by using at least one external sensor when a vehicle is moving. A driving behavior of a driver of the vehicle is monitored by using at least one internal sensor when the moving object and the moving direction of the moving object are detected. Once the moving direction of the moving object is not parallel to a moving direction of the vehicle and a sight direction of the driver does not cross the moving direction of the moving object, a first warning is transmitted.

Claims (42)

1. A driving warning method applied to a vehicle-mounted device, the driving warning method comprising:

detecting a moving object and a moving direction of the moving object by using at least one external sensor when a vehicle is moving;

monitoring a driving behavior of a driver of the vehicle by using at least one internal sensor when the moving object and the moving direction of the moving object are detected, wherein the driving behavior of the driver comprises a sight direction of the driver; and

transmitting a first warning when the moving direction of the moving object is not parallel to a moving direction of the vehicle and the sight direction of the driver does not cross the moving direction of the moving object,

determining whether the vehicle and the moving object are in a same lane according to a determining result of whether an angle of an azimuth of the moving object is within a preset angle range.

2. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a second warning when the moving direction of the moving object is parallel to the moving direction of the vehicle and the sight direction of the driver does not cross the moving direction of the moving object.

3. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first warning is different from the second warning.

4. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling the vehicle to decelerate or brake when the first warning is transmitted.

5. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the monitoring the driving behavior of the driver of the vehicle comprises:

capturing a video of the driver; and

identifying the driving behavior of the driver based on the video of the driver.

6. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the monitoring the driving behavior of the driver is performed when a distance between the moving object and the vehicle is less than a preset value.

7. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:

adjusting the preset value according to a driving speed of the vehicle.

8. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether the vehicle and the moving object are in a same lane by using a high-precision map of the vehicle-mounted device.

9. The driving warning method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a type of the moving object based on an image captured by the at least one external sensor using an image recognition algorithm.

10. A vehicle-mounted device comprising:

a storage device;

at least one processor; and

the storage device storing one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

detect a moving object and a moving direction of the moving object by using at least one external sensor when a vehicle is moving;

monitor a driving behavior of a driver of the vehicle by using at least one internal sensor when the moving object and the moving direction of the moving object are detected, wherein the driving behavior of the driver comprises a sight direction of the driver; and

transmit a first warning when the moving direction of the moving object is not parallel to a moving direction of the vehicle and the sight direction of the driver does not cross the moving direction of the moving object,

determine whether the vehicle and the moving object are in a same lane according to a determining result of whether an angle of an azimuth of the moving object is within a preset angle range.

11. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

transmit a second warning when the moving direction of the moving object is parallel to the moving direction of the vehicle and the sight direction of the driver does not cross the moving direction of the moving object, wherein the first warning is different from the second warning.

12. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least one external sensor and the at least one internal sensor are separated arranged and are oppositely arranged.

13. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least one external sensor is integrated with the at least one internal sensor, and the at least one external sensor is 180 degrees relative to the at least one internal sensor.

14. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the monitoring the driving behavior of the driver of the vehicle comprises:

capture a video of the driver; and

identify the driving behavior of the driver based on the video of the driver.

15. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the monitoring the driving behavior of the driver is performed when a distance between the moving object and the vehicle is less than a preset value.

16. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising:

adjust the preset value according to a driving speed of the vehicle.

17. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

determine whether the vehicle and the moving object are in a same lane by using a high-precision map of the vehicle-mounted device.

18. The vehicle-mounted device as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

identify a type of the moving object based on an image captured by the at least one external sensor using an image recognition algorithm.
