Abstract:
1. A helmet apparatus for automated vehicle heading alert, capable of being installed on headwear of a driver of a vehicle, comprising: a carrier, detachable from the headwear; a plurality of light emitting elements, installed on the carrier, comprising a left light emitting element and a right light emitting element; a gyroscopic device, installed on the carrier, and comprising at least one gyroscope, used for detecting an operation of the vehicle and outputting a series of gyroscope signals corresponding to the operation; a signal-processing and decision-making (SPDM) processor which receives the gyroscope signals to form a series of operation signals, processes the operation signals, performs a discriminant decision-making procedure, generates consecutively discriminant signals corresponding to the operation signals, and drives accordingly either the right light emitting element or the left light emitting element to turn on, turn off, or flash; and a power supply device, used for supplying power required by at least of the right light emitting element and the left light emitting element, the gyroscopic device, and the SPDM processor; wherein the SPDM processor comprises: a digital signal processing and filtering unit, used for performing filter processing on the operation signal; and a discrimination and processing unit, comprising a memory, a logic operation processor, and an input/output (I/O) port, wherein the left light emitting element and the right light emitting element are electrically connected to the I/O port, the memory has the discriminant decision-making procedure therein, used for generating the discriminant signals and driving accordingly at least one of the left light emitting element and the right light emitting element through the I/O port.
