Vehicle
A vehicle includes a fatigue state detector, an information provider, and a processor. The fatigue state detector is configured to detect a fatigue degree of an occupant of the vehicle. The information provider is configured to provide various pieces of information related to traveling of the vehicle to the occupant. The processor is configured to change a frequency of providing the various pieces of the information by the information provider, depending on the fatigue degree of the occupant.
1. A vehicle comprising:
an information receiver configured to communicate with a mobile terminal of an occupant of the vehicle, and acquire information on the occupant from the mobile terminal;
a fatigue state detector configured to detect, based on the information from the mobile terminal, a fatigue degree of the occupant of the vehicle;
an information provider configured to provide various pieces of information related to traveling of the vehicle to the occupant;
a processor configured to change a frequency of providing the various pieces of the information by the information provider, depending on the fatigue degree of the occupant; and
a detector configured to detect a matter of interest to the occupant based on the information from the mobile terminal,
wherein the processor is configured to, when the fatigue degree of the occupant is equal to or greater than a threshold, select information related to the matter of interest to the occupant detected by the detector, and change the frequency of providing information other than the selected information.
2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the fatigue state detector is configured to detect the fatigue degree of the occupant before getting in the vehicle or during the traveling, based on the information from the mobile terminal of the occupant.
3. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, even when the fatigue degree of the occupant is equal to or greater than a threshold, refrain from changing a frequency of providing information related to safety of the traveling, and change a frequency of providing information categorized in another category other than the safety of the traveling.
4. The vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the information on the occupant from the mobile terminal includes biometric or activity data of the occupant, and
wherein the fatigue state detector is configured to detect the fatigue degree of the occupant based on the biometric or activity data of the occupant.
5. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the fatigue state detector is further configured to detect the fatigue degree of the occupant based on an elapsed driving time of the occupant in addition to the information on the occupant from the mobile terminal.
6. A vehicle comprising:
a fatigue state detector configured to detect a fatigue degree of an occupant of the vehicle;
an information provider configured to provide various pieces of information related to traveling of the vehicle to the occupant; and
a processor configured to change a frequency of providing the various pieces of the information by the information provider, when the fatigue degree of the occupant is equal to or greater than a threshold,
wherein the processor is further configured to, even when the fatigue degree of the occupant is equal to or greater than a threshold, refrain from changing a frequency of providing information related to safety of the traveling, and change a frequency of providing information categorized in another category other than the safety of the traveling.
7. The vehicle according to claim 6 , further comprising an information receiver configured to communicate with a mobile terminal of the occupant, and acquire information on the occupant from the mobile terminal,
wherein the fatigue state detector is further configured to detect the fatigue degree of the occupant based the information on the occupant from the mobile terminal.
8. The vehicle according to claim 7 ,
wherein the information on the occupant from the mobile terminal includes biometric or activity data of the occupant, and
wherein the fatigue state detector is configured to detect the fatigue degree of the occupant based on the biometric or activity data of the occupant.
9. The vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the fatigue state detector is further configured to detect the fatigue degree of the occupant based on an elapsed driving time of the occupant in addition to the information on the occupant from the mobile terminal.
10. The vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the information related to safety of the traveling includes at least one of information on accident-prone spots, information on sharp curves present ahead of the vehicle, weather alerts, traffic regulation information, traffic congestion information, and accident information.
11. A vehicle comprising circuitry configured to:
communicate with a mobile terminal of an occupant of the vehicle, and acquire information on the occupant from the mobile terminal;
detect a fatigue degree of the occupant of the vehicle based on the information from the mobile terminal;
provide various pieces of information related to traveling of the vehicle to the occupant;
change a frequency of providing the various pieces of the information, depending on the fatigue degree of the occupant; and
detect a matter of interest to the occupant based on the information from the mobile terminal,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to, when the fatigue degree of the occupant is equal to or greater than a threshold, select information related to the detected matter of interest to the occupant, and change the frequency of providing information other than the selected information.
