Patent ID: 7333006

Claim:
A vehicle driving support device provided at a first vehicle and a second vehicle respectively so as to be paired in order to set off an alarm on the basis of information exchanged between the first vehicle and the second vehicle comprising: an image input means provided at the front of a first driver of the first vehicle for inputting an image including the first driver's face or provided at the front of a second driver of the second vehicle for inputting an image including the second driver's face; a face angle detecting means for detecting a face angle of the first driver on the basis of the image including the first driver's face inputted by the image input means or detecting a face angle of the second driver on the basis of the image including the second driver's face inputted by the image input means; a traveling direction detecting means detecting a traveling direction of the first vehicle or detecting a traveling direction of the second vehicle; a face direction detecting means for detecting a face direction of the first driver on the basis of the traveling direction of the first vehicle detected by the traveling direction detecting means and the face angle of the first driver detected by the face angle detecting means or detecting a face direction of the second driver on the basis of the traveling direction of the second vehicle detected by the traveling direction detecting means and the face angle of the second driver detected by the face angle detecting means; an inter vehicle communicating means for exchanging information between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the information including a signal indicating the face direction of the first driver detected by the face direction detecting means and a signal indicating the face direction of the second driver detected by the face direction detecting means; a determining means for comparing the signal indicating the face direction of the first driver and the signal indicating the face direction of the second driver inputted by the inter vehicle communicating means, and determining whether or not the first driver of the first vehicle faces the second driver of the second vehicle, and further determining the face direction of the first driver is aligned with the face direction of the second driver; and a warning means for setting off an alarm when the determining means determines that the face direction of the first driver and the face direction of the second driver are not aligned.
