A method and system for monitoring a user's intoxication including receiving a set of signals, derived from a set of samples collected from the user at a set of time points; providing a sobriety task to the user proximal to a time point of the set of time points; generating a performance dataset characterizing performance of the sobriety task by the user; receiving a supplementary dataset characterizing a demographic profile of the user and/or a physiological state of the user; determining a set of values of an intoxication metric, derived from the set of signals; generating a predicted temporal profile of the intoxication metric for the user based upon the set of values, the set of time points, and the supplementary dataset; generating an analysis of the user's sobriety based upon the performance dataset and the predicted temporal profile; and providing a notification to the user based upon the analysis.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) implements a health protocol that may reduce pathogen transmission between users of the AV. The AV is equipped with a thermal sensor that captures a body temperature of a user. The AV compares the user’s temperature to a threshold temperature, and if the user’s temperature exceeds the threshold temperature, the AV performs checks to ensure that the user’s planned trip follows current regulations or recommendations. For example, the AV confirms that the user is traveling between the user’s home and a healthcare facility. If the trip is permitted, the AV enables the user to enter the AV. The AV may include a disinfectant system for disinfecting the passenger compartment or surfaces after the user exits the AV.

A surface of a vehicle component can be dynamically deformable surface. The dynamically deformable surface can be configured to undergo deformations to dynamically form a dynamic button or other user interface element on demand. The dynamically deformable surface can include one or more biosensors. When a user engages the dynamic button with a portion of the body, the one or more biosensors can acquire user biodata. The user biodata can be used by the vehicle as input for various purposes. For instance, the vehicle can operate as a health-monitoring and/or comfort monitoring system. As a result of these arrangements, buttons and other user interface elements can appear and disappear depending on the need and/or application, providing a cleaner vehicle cockpit interface and greatly expanding the possibilities of where such buttons can be located at and how many things can be controlled by the driver using physical interfaces.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an antenna module, a communication module configured to control the antenna module, and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module, wherein the at least one processor transmits a ultra-wide band (UWB) signal including a first data frame, receives, based on the transmitted first data frame, a reflected first data frame, obtains a first channel impulse response by using the reflected first data frame, acquires information by using the channel impulse response, and receives a UWB signal including a second data frame from an external electronic device in response to the transmitted first data frame.

An automated driving vehicle (200) includes a communication device (220), a biometric information acquirer (240), and an automated driving controller (250). The communication device (220) is configured to transmit biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquirer (240) to an external device and receives a response signal including attribute information for the transmitted biometric information. The automated driving controller (250) is configured to execute automated driving according to route information formed on the basis of the attribute information included in the received response signal.

A driving assistance system and a driving assistance method are provided. The driving assistance system includes a physiological information sensing system, an external physical symptom detection system, and a processing device. The physiological information sensing system is configured to sense physiological information of a driver. The external physical symptom detection system is configured to detect an external physical symptom of the driver. The processing device is coupled to the physiological information sensing system and the external physical symptom detection system. When the physiological information of the driver and the external physical symptom of the driver are abnormal, the processing device initiates an emergency procedure.

A method for controlling a vehicle can include determining a driver state based on physiological response of an operator and navigational irregularities from observed driving patterns. The physiological response may indicate observed driver stress based on bodily responses that can include respiration, heart rate, ocular movement, or other stress indicators. The method further includes determining a vehicle route having a trip start position, a path to a present position, and a trip destination, and identifying a navigation irregularity based on the vehicle route, the driver state, and a historic record driving patterns. The method may include displaying a navigation assistant output on a heads-up Human Machine Interface (HMI) based on the navigation irregularity and the physiological response of the user. The system may provide user-selectable navigation assistance including placing a phone call to a family member for navigation guidance, providing turn-by-turn navigation guidance via the heads-up HMI, and/or other measures.

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for identifying impairment using measurement devices.

A biological information displaying apparatus according to an embodiment includes a picture obtaining apparatus and a processor. The picture obtaining apparatus obtains a picture signal of a predetermined site of a subject as a moving image. The processor generates a hue moving image by extracting a luminance or an image-based photoplethysmogram (iPPG) related to a pulse wave for each pixel of the moving image and assigning a hue in accordance with a value of luminance information or iPPG information. The processor displays the generated hue moving image such that the hue moving image is superimposed on an image of the subject.

A pilot-monitoring safety system is disclosed. The system comprises a head worn display including one or more heart rate sensors configured to generate heart rate measurements of a user of the head worn display, and one or more eye trackers configured to generate eye-gaze measurements of the user of the head worn display. The system further comprises a pilot-monitoring computing device configured to determine a health state of the user based on at least the heart rate measurements and the eye-gaze measurements, and responsive to the health state indicating a dangerous condition of the user, present an alert to the user using the head worn display. The system further comprises an autopilot computing device configured to, responsive to a predetermined time period elapsing without a response to the visual alert from the user, automatically control an aircraft.
