Abstract:
An alert control apparatus includes a first obtaining unit that obtains first information about a gaze or face orientation of a driver, a distracted driving determiner that outputs a detection signal when detecting distracted driving, a second obtaining unit that obtains second information indicating whether an intersection is recognized, a third obtaining unit that obtains third information about a change in a vehicle traveling direction, an alert disabling unit that outputs a disabling signal disabling the detection signal in response to the intersection recognized and the traveling direction change detected, and an alert controller that outputs an instruction signal for an alert device to generate an alert in response to the detection signal output without the disabling signal, and outputs no instruction signal in response to the detection signal output with the disabling signal.

Claim (Index 1):
An alert control apparatus, comprising:\n a first obtaining unit configured to obtain first information about a gaze or a face orientation of a driver of a vehicle; a distracted driving determiner configured to determine whether the driver is engaging in distracted driving based on the gaze or the face orientation of the driver indicated by the first information and a determination condition for detecting distracted driving, and output a detection signal when detecting distracted driving; a second obtaining unit configured to obtain second information indicating whether an intersection is recognized ahead of the vehicle in a traveling direction; a third obtaining unit configured to obtain third information about a change in the traveling direction of the vehicle; an alert disabling unit configured to output a disabling signal for disabling the detection signal output from the distracted driving determiner in response to the intersection being recognized and the change in the traveling direction being detected based on the second information and the third information; and an alert controller configured to output an instruction signal for an alert device to generate an alert in response to the detection signal being output without the disabling signal being output, and configured to output no instruction signal in response to the detection signal being output with the disabling signal being output.
