Abstract:
Various examples of a driver monitoring apparatus and a method of disabling a driver facing camera are disclosed. A driver monitoring controller receives video images of a driver and transmits control messages to a driver facing camera. The driver monitoring controller receives a signal indicating that the driver desires to disable the driver facing camera. The driver monitoring controller receives messages indicating a vehicle state. The control logic of the driver monitoring controller disables the driver facing camera by transmitting a control message to disable the driver facing camera in response to a control input indicating the driver desires to disable the driver facing camera and a vehicle state message indicating a vehicle state does not meet a predetermined condition. The control logic of the driver monitoring controller enables the camera automatically in response to a vehicle state message indicating the vehicle state meets the predetermined condition.

Claim (Index 1):
A driver monitoring controller for a vehicle comprising:\n a camera communications port for receiving video images of a driver and transmitting control messages to an associated driver facing camera; a control input for receiving a signal indicating that the driver desires to disable only the associated driver facing camera; a vehicle communications port for receiving and transmitting messages; and control logic in communication with the camera communications port, the control input and the vehicle communications port, wherein the control logic disables only the driver facing camera by transmitting a control message to disable the driver facing camera at the camera communications port in response to receiving the signal at the control input indicating the driver desires to disable only the driver facing camera and receiving a vehicle state message at the vehicle communications port indicating a vehicle state does not meet a predetermined condition.
