Abstract:
Distracted driving determination reflects changes in the traveling direction of the vehicle. A distracted driving determination apparatus includes a first obtaining unit obtaining first detection information indicating a gaze or face orientation of a driver, a determiner determining whether the driver is engaging in distracted driving based on the gaze or face orientation of the driver indicated by the first detection information and a first determination condition for detecting distracted driving, a second obtaining unit obtaining second detection information indicating a rotational angle velocity about a vertical axis or lateral acceleration of a vehicle, and a condition changer changing the first determination condition to a second determination condition different from the first determination condition to use the second determination condition in the duration for which the rotational angle velocity or the lateral acceleration failing to satisfy a predefined criterion is being detected based on the second detection information.

Claim (Index 7):
A distracted driving determination method performed by a distracted driving determination apparatus mounted on a vehicle, the method comprising:\n obtaining, with the distracted driving determination apparatus, a first detection information indicating a gaze or a face orientation of a driver; determining, with the distracted driving determination apparatus, whether the driver is engaging in distracted driving based on the gaze or the face orientation of the driver indicated by the first detection information and a first determination condition defined for detecting distracted driving; obtaining, with the distracted driving determination apparatus, second detection information indicating a rotational angle velocity about a vertical axis or lateral acceleration of a vehicle; and changing, with the distracted driving determination apparatus, the first determination condition to a second determination condition different from the first determination condition to use the second determination condition in the duration for which the rotational angle velocity or the lateral acceleration failing to satisfy a predefined criterion is being detected based on the second detection information.
