Danger sensing apparatus of vehicle and control method thereof

Abstract

A danger sensing apparatus includes a data collecting unit disposed at each of a side rear-view mirror of the vehicle and an inner portion of the vehicle to collect image data of a side region of the vehicle and a situation of a door region of the inner portion of the vehicle as data; a data analyzing unit analyzing the data collected from the data collecting unit to analyze a danger object approaching an outer side of the vehicle and the situation of the door region of the inner portion of the vehicle; and a controlling unit controlling operations of a drive train of the vehicle and the door based on a signal analyzed from the data analyzing unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:
 a data collecting unit to collect image data of a side region of the vehicle as data;   a data analyzing unit analyzing the data collected from the data collecting unit to analyze a danger object approaching an outer side of the vehicle; and   a controlling unit controlling operation of closing a door based on a signal analyzed from the data analyzing unit.   
     
     
         2 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the controlling unit controls the operation of the door so that the door is not opened, when it is determined that the date analyzed from the data analyzing unit corresponds to the danger situation in which the danger object approaches the vehicle, at the time of stop of the vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 1 , further comprising a data outputting unit outputting an alarm according to a danger situation based on the data collected from the data collecting unit and the data analyzed from the data analyzing unit. 
     
     
         4 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the data analyzing unit includes:
 a data receiver receiving the data transmitted from the data collecting unit;   a danger analyzer analyzing the data received in the data receiver to analyze the danger object approaching the side of the vehicle; and   a control signal generator generating a control signal based on the data analyzed from the danger analyzer.   
     
     
         5 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 4 , wherein the control signal generated from the control signal generator is preferential to a manual operation. 
     
     
         6 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 4 , wherein the danger analyzer analyzes whether or not the danger object is present and a speed at which the danger object approaches the side of the vehicle, in the data received in the data receiver. 
     
     
         7 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the data collecting unit further collects image data of a situation of a door region of inner portion of the vehicle as the data, wherein the data analyzing unit further analyzes the data collected from the data collecting unit to analyze whether or not an object interposed between an entrance of the vehicle and the door is present. 
     
     
         8 . The danger sensing apparatus of a vehicle of  claim 7 , wherein the controlling unit further controls the operation of the drive train so that the vehicle is not driven, when it is determined that the data analyzed from the data analyzing unit corresponds to the situation in which the object is interposed between the entrance and the door. 
     
     
         9 . A control method of danger sensing of a vehicle, comprising:
 (a) collecting image data of a side region of the vehicle as data;   (b) analyzing whether or not a danger object approaching an outer side of the vehicle at the time of stop of the vehicle; and   (c) controlling operation of closing a door based on a signal analyzed in step (b).   
     
     
         10 . The control method of  claim 9 , wherein the step (b) includes:
 receiving the image data;   analyzing whether or not the danger object approaching the side of the vehicle is present to determine a danger situation is generated; and   generating a control signal in the case in which it is determined that the danger situation is generated.   
     
     
         11 . The control method of  claim 10 , wherein the control signal is preferential to a manual operation. 
     
     
         12 . The control method of  claim 9 , wherein the step (c) includes:
 controlling the operation of the door so that the door is not opened, when it is determined that a danger situation is generated in which the danger object approaches the vehicle, at the time of stop of the vehicle.
