METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING A NON-DRIVING ACTIVITY OF A DRIVER IN RESPECT OF AN INTERRUPTIBILITY OF THE NON-DRIVING ACTIVITY IN THE EVENT OF A PROMPT TO TAKE OVER THE DRIVING FUNCTION, AND METHOD FOR RE-RELEASING A NON-DRIVING ACTIVITY FOLLOWING AN INTERRUPTION OF SAID NON-DRIVING ACTIVITY AS A RESULT OF A PROMPT TO TAKEOVER THE DRIVING FUNCTION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for classifying a non-driving activity of a driver in respect of an interruptibility of the non-driving activity, in the event of a prompt to take over the driving task, wherein the method firstly comprises a read-in step, in which a detection signal (118) and a first position signal (120) are read-in from a vehicle occupant monitoring device (106) of a vehicle (104), the detection signal (118) representing a detected object used for a non-driving activity of the driver, and the first position signal (120) representing a first position of the detected object. The method then has a receiving step, in which a takeover prompt signal (124) is received, the takeover prompt signal (124) representing a prompt for the driver to take over the driving function. The invention also has a calculation step, in which a second position of the detected object is calculated by using a second position signal (126), the second position signal (126) representing a final position of the object before the driver takes over the driving function and interrupts the non-driving activity. Lastly, the method has a determination step, in which an interruptibility level (132) in respect of an interruptibility of the non-driving activity is determined, the interruptibility level (132) representing a degree of visual and/or cognitive distraction of the driver by the non-driving activity.
