Abstract:
An occupant detection apparatus includes a wave motion sensor and an controller. The wave motion sensor provided to be upper than the seat in the vehicle, performing transmission of wave motion towards a predetermined range which includes a head part of the occupant at least, performing reception of the wave motion that is reflected. The controller calculates, as a result value, at least either a first value or a second value based on the transmission and the reception of the wave motion by the wave motion sensor; the first value is a receiving intensity and the second value is either a period of time or a distance. The controller determines either (i) that the seat is occupied by the occupant or (ii) that the seat is empty or occupied by a physical body other than the occupant, based on comparison of the result value with a threshold value.

Claim (Index 22):
The occupant detection apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein:\n the first range is located in front of the second range in the longitudinal direction in the vehicle.
