Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 12:
13. An operation method of a sensor integration module for detecting vehicle interior information, the operation method comprising:
identifying a current situation as a driver riding situation, a driving situation, an alighting situation, a parking situation, an intrusion detection situation, and a vehicle accident situation;
selectively enabling a first sensor and a second sensor depending on the identified result;
receiving sensing information provided from the first sensor and the second sensor being selectively enabled; and
notifying a passenger that he or she does not wear his or her seat belt, performing a command corresponding to a gesture of the passenger, determining whether there is a remaining passenger, determining whether there is intrusion, determining whether there is an intruder, determining a location and motion of the intruder, determining whether there is a passenger, or determining a location and motion of the passenger based on the provided sensing information,
wherein identifying the current situation as the driver riding situation, the driving situation, the alighting situation, the parking situation, the intrusion detection situation, and the vehicle accident situation includes
determining the current situation as the driver riding situation, when receiving information indicating that opening of a vehicle door is detected from a first communication device,
determining the current situation as the driving situation, when receiving information indicating that a vehicle is turned on from the first communication device,
determining the current situation as the alighting situation, when receiving information indicating that the vehicle is turned off and that the vehicle door is locked from the first communication device,
determining the current situation as the parking situation, when receiving information indicating that impact or vibration is detected in the vehicle after a predetermined time after the vehicle is turned off from the first communication device,
determining the current situation as the intrusion detection situation, when receiving information indicating that the vehicle door in a lock state is abnormally opened from the first communication device, and
determining the current situation as the vehicle accident situation, when receiving information indicating that impact or vibration greater than a predetermined amount of impact or vibration is detected from the first communication device, and

wherein selectively enabling the first sensor and the second sensor depending on the identified result includes
enabling only the first sensor when the driver riding situation or the driving situation is determined,
enabling only the second sensor when the parking situation is determined, and
enabling the first sensor and the second sensor when the alighting situation, the intrusion detection situation, or the vehicle accident situation is determined.
