Premier League chief Richard Scudamore rejects Greg Dyke's proposal for increased homegrown quotas
FA Chairman Greg Dyke wants to increase the number of homegrown players in each Premier League squad from eight to 12
Premier League chief Richard Scudamore has rejected the proposal and has slammed Dyke's attempts to interfere
Scudamore insists that the Premier League should be left to its own devices
Just 33.2 per cent of players starting in matches during the Premier League’s opening weekend were eligible to play for England
Published: 18:05 EDT, 15 August 2015 | Updated: 14:35 EDT, 16 August 2015
Richard Scudamore has dismissed out of hand the idea that Football Association chairman Greg Dyke could force the Premier League to accept increased quotas of English and homegrown players.
Dyke has proposed that the minimum number of homegrown players in a top-flight 25-man first-team squad be increased from eight to 12 with the plans being phased in over four years, beginning next year.
There have been suggestions that Dyke might be prepared to use a ‘nuclear option’ and force the change through even in the face of expected Premier League opposition, but Scudamore ridiculed that idea.

Dyke (pictured) apparently might be prepared to use a ‘nuclear option’ and force the change
‘Greg was asked a direct question about that by one of the clubs at one of our meetings,’ said Scudamore, the Premier League executive chairman in an interview before the start of the season. ‘and he said, “No, we want to consult”. It never needs to be tested.
‘But the idea that the FA can put rules in our rule book is unthinkable. Because our rule book is our rule book. It’s how our clubs contract to deal with each other.

‘If the FA wish to put quotas into the FA Cup, that’s entirely their responsibility. It’s their competition. I think they should consult with the clubs that play in it, but that’s just a matter of courtesy.
‘There’s no way they can write a rule into our rule book regarding our competitions. We submit our rule book for sanction every year and they have to sanction our rule book. But they are sanctioning it for whether there is anything that is contrary to FIFA law or FA regulations. They can’t send our rule book back saying you need to put seven more rules in that cover X, Y and Z.’
Just 33.2 per cent of players starting in matches during the Premier League’s opening weekend were eligible to play for England, a 1.8 per cent drop from last season. It dropped to 27 per cent on Saturday, with just 36 English players out of 132 starters. And just three of those 36 were under the age of 21.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is another who has suggested English football needs to revamp its development of youngsters or risk losing an entire generation of players.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested that English football needs revamping at entry level
‘You have a generation of players who are lost between 18 and 20,’ said Wenger. ‘When a guy of that age feels he doesn’t move forward he loses motivation.
‘And I am a bit scared about that because in France they play in Division Three with their reserves so you get competition against adults. In England you have created the Under 21 league. I am not a fan because it is not the same as playing in competitive games.’
Wenger’s comments come in the wake of FA chief executive Martin Glenn pledging to invest a record £260million in grassroots football over the next four years, with one suggested solution to help combat the lack of English players in the Premier League being for youngsters to go abroad and gain experience.
‘Young players could go abroad or to Championship teams and play,’ Wenger added. ‘But if good English players go down to the Championship, that level goes up. You could have a B team in League Two or League One maybe. There is no ideal solution.’

This interview with Karen May, vice president for people development at Google, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.Q. You consulted for many companies before you joined Google full time. What are some common mistakes you’ve noticed in training programs for employees?A. One thing that doesn’t make sense is to require a lot of training. People learn best when they’re motivated to learn. If people opt in, versus being required to go, you’re more likely to have better outcomes.You can also influence people to come to training. If a group of people go through some kind of program and they like it, then you ask them to nominate someone who might find the program beneficial. If the invitation comes from a colleague or a manager, you have that kind of peer-to-peer influence that says: “I got something out of this. You might, too.” Then the people who come are motivated. They assume they’re going to get something out of it. You just create a much different vibe than, “I was told I have to show up to this thing.” Continue reading the main story
Q. How often does that have a positive outcome?A. People can do something with the feedback probably 70 percent of the time. And for the other 30 percent, they are either not willing to take it in, it doesn’t fit their self-image, they’re too resistant, in denial, or they don’t have the wherewithal to change it. And the reality is that most change happens in small increments. So if you’re watching to see if someone’s changing, you have to watch for the incremental change. It’s not a straight line.Q. Other insights about giving feedback?A. We do something in some learning programs with our leaders where we’ll put them in a fast-paced exercise and ask them to give feedback to each other, spur of the moment, based on the experience they’ve had together during the day that they’ve been together. I actually named it “speed-back” instead of “feedback.”We have people sit in chairs and they’re knee to knee. Then we start the speed-back and say, “You have three minutes to answer the question, ‘How have you experienced me during this learning program?’ ” Then the bell rings and the person giving feedback hears how the other perceived them. Many people say it’s some of the best feedback they’d ever received. We’ve experimented with different questions, like, “What advice would you give me based on the experience that you’ve had with me here?”
Q. You were an executive coach for many years. How many executives have you worked with one-on-one?A. I’d say more than 300.Q. Any broad patterns you’ve noticed?A. A common pattern I’ve heard is, “I’m doing what I’ve always done, and it used to work really well for me, but it’s not working anymore.” Often it happens when people get new responsibilities, and they approach their new role the same way they’ve been working, and rewarded, for years. Yet the new circumstances require a different set of behaviors.People are often promoted because they’re great at something, and that has helped them move into broader roles and responsibilities. But they haven’t necessarily learned all the skills they need to be effective in a broader role. So where I ended up helping people often was in relationships with others, and understanding the impact they have on the people around them, cultivating some empathy, learning to listen, learning to give other people the spotlight, learning to work collaboratively. It wasn’t usually from a lack of willingness to do those things, but they didn’t have a strong muscle.So you teach people capabilities around being effective with other people in the interest of getting something done. New clients might say, “I don’t want to just be nice.” But listening and empathy are actually effective strategies for influencing people and getting things done. You have to build the skill and do it because you see the value of it.

A fun, funny new chapter book series full of adorable pets and silly adventures! The next guest at the Pet Hotel is a tabby cat named Matilda. But Meg and Charlie are worried, because she doesn't want to play -- all she wants to do is hide and nap! What's wrong with Matilda? In the meantime, Elvis the cockatiel is causing trouble during his stay. He keeps stealing food from the kitchen, and he won't leave Matilda alone! Is he just a mischief maker, or does he know something about the tabby cat that Meg and Charlie don't?
Twins Meg and Charlie love living in the Pet Hotel that is owned by their great-great Aunt Saffron and managed by their parents. Meg has recently acquired a puppy of her own, and Charlie is yearning for a cat. The twins help with caring for the animal guests, making sure they have food and water and taking the dogs for walks. Elvis, a small cockatiel, screeches a line from his namesake's song, Hound Dog, and hops from place to place. Although an injured wing has fully healed, Elvis does not fly yet, and the twins are determined to get him back into the air. When Matilda, a pregnant cat, checks into the hotel, Elvis stays near her until he gets trapped in the dumb waiter. The only way out for him is by air, and he flies to the opening. Charlie adopts one of the kittens and all ends happily. Black-and-white illustrations contribute to the meaning and add humor. This book is a good choice for young animal-loving readers. Part of the "Pet Hotel" series. Reviewer: Phyllis Kennemer, Ph.D.

"I have goid wifi' so I can be leader," he paused." If the clan wants me to."
Icefire padded up to Cloudripple. "I think you should. No one would ever vote me, and other cats are much better than I. Commetstorm, you should, too." She meowed. "But-" Stormy meowed, but was cut off with a glare from his mother. Stormypaw looked at his paws in shame. "I agree with Cloudripple with all my heart. It would be nice to speak at the gathering, though. But, more cats know you." Icefire meowed to Cloudripple. (I totally agree with Cloudripple!)
Bbt. Hopefilly more will be on then
&spades SparrowSun limped into Camp warily, CatMint clumped between Her jowls. The Medicine Cat set down the Herbs, sneezing. &ades
(Aw, thanks, guys!)
Cloudripple looked down at her paws, not expecting that response. "Um, ok. If that's what the clan wants." She exchanged a glance with Cometstorm.
Bluefleet looked at Amberspirit. "What do you mean? You've always been here."
(Omg I seriously didn't expect that to happen!)
Yes! I agree! &hearts They would keep us alive! They active, and they have been here for a long time, so they about how HorseClan works. Anonymous
(Good luck Matty. :( ~Orion Anonymous
She looks over to Sparrowsun. "Good thing you found more catmint," she mewed. "We almost ran out." (Oh)
Yea, lol ive been waiting for her response!))
"I'd like to speak as well, but Cloudripple, you and Cometstorm would do much better than me." Amberspirit blinks. "I want what's best for the clan, and you and Cometstorm are those things right now, no matter how much I'd like to lead." Her voice lowers. "It's all I've ever wanted, but I have no right to. I abandoned HorseClan." Sadness glistens in her eyes, and memories swell like waves in them, sadness, happiness, and love.
This is long but please read it, its important!! <p> Hey guys, Blackfeather wa supposed to post amessge for me but it doesnt look like she did. We've been having really bad weather and our wifi hasn't been working at all. Things are looking clearer tonight so hopefully that was the end of that. It doesn't look like a lot of rping has been going on, which is the perfect way to get a clan inactive is just talking. So lets get back to rping, if you want to just talk to someone my suggestion is to get a book where you and said person can talk. I am going to find us a new camp, Amberspirit, no getting locked out! Lol! In the meantime, I think you'll all agree we need some new members so everyone who can, help advertise in the Erin Hunter books. Dont advertise in other clans, I hate that lol. Anyways, GET TO RPING!! pwees? <p>
Velvetstar stood up and shook out her silky white and black fur. "Who's up for ahunting patrol? Any apprintices want to go out training?" She asked, eager to get her clan running again. -Velvetstar-
"I dont know. I agree you should lead untill velvetstar returns, but are you sure i should be deputy? There are cats more experienced than me."
Rain paw.

the room I was put in was dirty with the traces of the previous guest everywhere.The receptionist was not able to resolve the issue and get me another room, though the hotel was half-empty. He also did not know who the manager was and how to contact him. After I checked out I was promised by the manager to get a refund for my stay, but it has been denied by the hotel when Hotels.com customer service called them about the issue. I was lied to by the hotel people that refund is coming from the booking site. Finally I had to open the dispute with my bank to get reimbursed for all physical and emotional damage I got through and all time spent.
The breakfast was not bad - costs are EUR 7.95 per person. Well worth it. Room was ok, parking was not available, we had to walk 7-10 minutes to get to our car. Room was not cleaned thoroughly. Some debris behind the lamp, hair on the sheets and on the headboard. Wifi worked fine. Okay for a 1 night stay,

A current scaling factor is determined on a periodic basis using qualitative device calibration techniques. The current scaling factor is used to monitor breathing and diagnose obstructive apneas. Furthermore, the optimal multiplicative and the current scaling factor are used to determine the current tidal volume.
RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/139,964 which was filed on Jun. 18, 1999.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a calibration procedure for a non-invasive tidal volume measurement device which uses the two compartmental lung model which provides an accurate estimate of tidal volume without limiting the ability of the device to detect obstructive apneas.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIG. 1, a breathing monitor for measuring tidal volume during respiration is disclosed including two sensors 12, 14 arranged on a torso of a subject 10 so that the sensors 12, 14 measure the contraction and expansion of the ribcage and the abdomen. The breathing monitor is based on the two compartment lung model. That is, the basis for measuring breathing is an approximation that the respiratory system moves in two degrees of freedom of motion, wherein one compartment of the two compartment lung is the rib-cage and the other compartment is the abdomen. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sensors 12, 14 comprise inductive plethysmographic transducers for measuring the excursions of the rib-cage and abdomen. However, instead of inductive plethysmograph transducers, the breathing monitor may include a jerkin plethysmograph, linear differential transformers, magnetometers, a bellows pneumograph, strain gauges, piezoelectric devices, impedance pneumographs, or inductance circumferential transformers. The sensors 12, 14 are connected to a controller 24 via scaling amplifiers 16, 18. Furthermore, an airway monitoring device 22 such as a spirometer is also connected to the controller 24 for measuring actual tidal volume.
M=V/(K(RC)+(AB)), where V is the average volume measured for each breath by the airway monitoring device 22.
K C =SD(AB)/SD(RC), wherein,

TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates generally to vehicles and more particularly to the provision of indicia regarding potentially hazardous conditions to the driver of a vehicle.
BACKGROUND Various distractions can divert the attention of a driver of a vehicle. Such distractions can be sourced from within a vehicle or from without and may last over a widely varying length of time. When such a distraction diverts a driver's attention at the same time as when a hazardous condition arises, accidents can result.
Various warning systems are known, and others are being developed, to alert a vehicle driver to the existence of potential hazards in the driving environment. For example, in-vehicle radar systems can detect and warn when a collision appears possible or likely. Image processing systems can detect and warn when a traffic signal has changed to a red color. Wireless warning beacons can provide a wireless signal indicating proximity of a given roadside hazard. In each of these examples, indicia in various forms are typically provided to the driver to warn of the corresponding condition.
Unfortunately, such indicia typically represent a variety of compromises. The degree of attention by which the indicia draw attention to themselves can be inappropriate to a given set of circumstances and variables. For example, under some circumstances, the indicia can be redundant to information of which the driver is already aware. When this happens, the indicia can be an annoyance to the driver and, worse, can be a diversion that may itself distract the driver from dealing with the circumstance at hand. Under other circumstances, such as when the driver is already operating under a considerable cognitive load (as can occur when the driver is significantly distracted by some other condition), the indicia may be ineffective to break the driver's distraction in sufficient time to permit appropriate preemptive actions to be taken or to otherwise deal with the hazardous condition.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above needs are at least partially met through provision of the visual attention influenced condition indicia apparatus and method described in the following detailed description, particularly when studied in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 comprises a flow diagram as configured in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 comprises a top plan schematic view of a vehicle driver and various exemplary gaze-directions of potential interest in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 comprises a block diagram as configured in accordance with an embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 4 comprises a flow diagram as configured in accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Generally speaking, pursuant to these various embodiments, the likely direction of visual attention of a predetermined person, such as, for example, a driver or passenger of a vehicle, is ascertained. Upon detecting a predetermined condition regarding the vehicle, a determination is made regarding indicia to be provided to an operator of the vehicle. This determination is made, at least in part, as a function of the likely direction of visual attention of the monitored person. So configured, for example, when an in-vehicle sensor detects that the vehicle is approaching an object, a determination can be made to not present any indicia regarding such condition upon determining that the driver's visual attention is already consistent with the location of the condition. On the other hand, if the in-vehicle sensor detects that the vehicle is approaching an object while the driver's visual attention is significantly diverted away from the locus of the sensed condition, appropriate indicia can then be provided. Depending upon the embodiment, a plurality of candidate indicia can be provided, with a subset of indicia being selected as a function of the driver's likely direction of visual attention, the potential severity of the sensed condition, and so forth.
Such an approach can be used with a wide variety of both in-vehicle sensors (including both sensors that detect conditions regarding the vehicle itself and sensors that detect conditions external to the vehicle) and external information sources, either alone or in combination with one another.
So configured, indicia regarding sensed conditions can be selected and/or modified to more likely assist the driver in a meaningful way. Annoying, distracting and/or nuisance alarms can be substantially reduced or eliminated. (For clarification, a nuisance alarm occurs when a driver is paying attention to a condition, but is presented with an alarm that is designed to attract his attention to that condition.) At the same time, the driver's attention can likely be regained during genuinely hazardous conditions through use of indicia that are likely to successfully regain and redirect the attention of the driver. Such compelling indicia, while inappropriate for use with every instance of occurrence of a given condition, can be usefully held in reserve for use during times when the driver's attention is urgently required.
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1, from time to time (and preferably on a relatively frequent basis), one determines 11 the likely direction of visual attention for a given individual or group of individuals (such as, for example, particular occupants of a vehicle such as the driver of the vehicle and/or a person serving as a co-pilot or navigator in that vehicle). In general, in a preferred approach, this determination provides information regarding a likely substantially current direction of visual attention of the predetermined person. Current information regarding the status of the person's gaze is preferred to ensure relevant and appropriate use of this information.
One then monitors (again on a relatively frequent basis) for one or more predetermined conditions regarding the vehicle to thereby permit detection 12 of the predetermined condition when it occurs. Such monitoring can be achieved with any or all in-vehicle sensors, non-vehicle external sensors, and/or external information sources. The predetermined condition can relate to a specific condition regarding or internal to the vehicle itself and/or to a specific condition that is external to the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, a wide variety of both internal and external conditions are monitored on a relatively continuous basis. To illustrate, some of the conditions that can be so monitored include (but are not limited to) impending collisions, unexpected lane changes, other vehicles on a potentially converging trajectory, road surface conditions, temperature, out-of-specification engine operating performance, and inappropriate speed or braking, to name a few.
When one detects 12 a given predetermined condition regarding the vehicle, a determination 13 is then made regarding a condition indicia to provide to, for example, the driver of the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, this determination 13 is made as a function, at least in part, of the likely direction of the monitored person's visual attention. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of candidate condition indicia is available wherein each of the candidate indicia corresponds to the particular detected predetermined condition. Some of these candidates can be relatively unassuming (and hence less likely to distract a driver who is otherwise aware of the condition and likely dealing with the condition in an informed fashion) while others can be relatively compelling (and hence more likely to draw the attention of a distracted driver who is not yet aware of the detected condition). Such indicia can utilize (either singly or in combination) visual, audible, and/or haptic mechanisms in varying degrees of application to differentiate one candidate from another. In addition, or instead, such candidate indicia can also differ from one another with respect to the substantive informational content provided. In a preferred embodiment, these candidates also include the option of not providing any indicia whatsoever in response to detecting a particular predetermined condition. The latter may be particularly appropriate when the predetermined condition does not comprise a significant or immediate risk to life or property and where the driver in any event appears to be aware of the condition as otherwise evidenced by the direction of the driver's gaze.
When making a condition indicia determination 13 as suggested above, in one embodiment, one can make a first determination as to when the likely direction of visual attention of the predetermined person at least substantially accords with a first evaluation criteria (such as, for example, when the likely field of view of the predetermined person likely includes at least a portion of the predetermined condition). To illustrate, relatively unassuming condition indicia or no indicia at all can be provided to the driver under such circumstances. When, however, the likely direction of visual attention of the predetermined person does not substantially accord with such a first evaluation criteria, a second, different determination can be made instead. For example, more compelling indicia can be used when the predetermined condition represents a significant and imminent risk to life or property and the driver's direction of gaze does not likely include the predetermined condition.
If desired, past history regarding the monitored individual's likely direction of visual attention can be stored and utilized when making the above determinations. By noting the location of the driver's gaze over a relatively recent period of time (such as, for example, one or two seconds), one can determine when the driver's gaze is moving and in which direction the gaze is moving. To illustrate, a driver may have been looking at their driver's side door mirror and is now in the process of returning their gaze to a forward direction. By noting a series of such determinations of the person's direction of gaze over a recent period of time, one can determine that, although the person is not presently likely looking at the predetermined condition of concern, the person is nevertheless likely to be looking in the correct direction in the immediate future. (Immediate future being a timeframe consistent with the timely redirection of the driver's attention to the potential condition or hazard.)
The monitored direction of gaze can be parsed as generally, or finely, as may be appropriate to a given application. Pursuant to one embodiment, a driver's direction of visual attention can be generally subdivided into six specific fields of view. With reference to FIG. 2, these six views for a given driver 20 include a forward view 21, a rear-view mirror view 22, a driver-side view 23, a passenger-side view 24, a driver-side rear view 25, and a passenger-side rear view 26. So configured, the more common and primary directions of a driver's gaze are generally segregated from one another to thereby permit the kinds of determinations as are suggested above.
Other configurations and parsing selections are of course possible. For example, side views can be combined to comprise a single field of view. Or, if desired, the suggested views can be subdivided further and/or other views can be added (such as a view to capture and represent when a driver is gazing downwardly at, for example, internal controls and/or displays). One simple embodiment would simply monitor for when the driver's gaze is forwardly directed, with any other condition being simply treated as being �non-forward.�
The above-described processes can be carried out in a variety of ways. Referring now to FIG. 3, one particular approach for use in a given vehicle 30, such as a terrestrial vehicle like an automobile, an indicia controller 31 can be comprised of a processing platform such as a microprocessor. Such a processing platform can of course comprise a single integrated entity or can be configured as a distributed processing platform as well understood in the art. In addition, the indicia controller 31 can comprise a dedicated platform that serves only the processes described herein or that shares its computational capacity with other functions and processes as well (such as, for example, engine control, navigation, and the like). In general, the indicia controller 31 serves to provide a platform for supporting the above-described determination of when a predetermined person is likely paying visual attention to one or more predetermined vehicle conditions (and/or, as suggested earlier, is likely, in the immediate or near future, to pay visual attention to the predetermined vehicle condition).
At least one direction-of-visual-attention sensor 32 operably couples to the indicia controller 31. In a preferred embodiment, at least one other such sensor 33 (and preferably more) also operably couples to the indicia controller 31. The number of such sensors required for a given application will depend upon a variety of circumstances and design requirements, including but not limited to the number and size of desired fields of view, the number of persons to be monitored, and the particular enabling technology utilized. A variety of such sensors are known in the art. Various eye-trackers (including, for example, retinal tracking) as are now known or that are developed hereafter are all suitable candidates to consider for use, with any particular eye-tracking technology being selected as a function of desired performance, anticipated operating conditions and environment, accuracy, sampling rate, desired cost and/or form factor requirements, and so forth. Given that such devices are already well known and understood in the art, further description will not be provided here for the sake of brevity and the preservation of focus.
The indicia controller 31 also operably couples to one or more condition sensors 34, 35. As already noted above, such sensors can monitor for various desired and predetermined conditions that include both the vehicle itself and the environment within which the vehicle operates. A wide variety of such sensors are presently known and/or are the subject of present development and commercialization efforts, including but not limited to:
vehicle speed sensor; vehicle heading sensor; vehicle location sensor; vehicle acceleration sensor; turn signal status sensor; headlight status sensor; cruise control status sensor; seat occupancy status sensor; radar-based sensor; lidar-based sensor; horn status sensor; brake status sensor; external temperature sensor; image processor.
In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the condition sensors can comprise a wireless communication platform that communicates, for example, with a roadside information service such as the Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) service currently being discussed by at least one standards forming body and being currently developed in the industry. So configured, the sensor could wirelessly receive information regarding a predetermined condition (such as impending weather conditions, upcoming road hazards, and so forth) from at least one non-vehicle source. In general, any presently known or hereafter developed sensor capable of detecting and/or otherwise providing information regarding a given condition can be consistently used with the platforms and processes described herein.
Lastly, the indicia controller 31 can operably couple to one or more human-machine interfaces (HMI) 36 that serve to present the selected condition indicia. Such an HMI 36 can include one or more displays, graphic elements, lights, or the like, as well as audible information (including alarm tones as well as pre-recorded verbal instructions) and haptic sensations (such as a vibrating steering wheel, a vibrating accelerator pedal, and the like). As with condition sensors, a wide variety of HMI's presently exist with many more being designed and released on a regular basis. And again, such presently known and hereafter developed HMI's are all appropriate to consider for use, alone or in combination with other HMI platforms, in a given application of these teachings.
So configured, such an apparatus can control the HMI 36 pursuant to a first mode of operation when the direction-of-visual-attention sensor 32 indicates that the predetermined person is likely to view a given predetermined vehicle condition (which predetermined vehicle condition correlates to a particular condition indicia) and pursuant to a second mode of operation when the direction-of-view-attention sensor 32 indicates that the predetermined person is not likely to view the predetermined vehicle condition. Additional modes of operation that correspond to yet other alternatives regarding the presentation of a given condition indicia can of course be added as desired and appropriate to a given application.
FIG. 4 depicts one illustrative embodiment that accords with the above configurations. The system monitors as suggested above to detect potential hazards 41. When no such hazards are detected, no actions regarding the provision of cautionary indicia are instigated 42. When a potential hazard is detected 41, however, the system determines 43 whether the driver appears to be looking in the direction of the detected hazard. For example, if the hazard comprises another vehicle approaching rapidly from the passenger side of the driver's vehicle, the system determines 43 whether the driver is presently looking (or, in some embodiments, has recently looked) in the direction of the potential hazard. When this determination 43 suggests that the driver is not viewing (or, in some embodiments, will not likely view in the near future) the potential hazard, a high level alarm is provided 44. For example, a particularly compelling audible, visible, and/or haptic presentation can be provided to likely draw the attention of the driver to the presence of the potential hazard.
When this determination 43 reveals, however, that the driver is likely viewing (or, in some embodiments, will likely view in the immediate or near future) the potential hazard, the system can determine whether the driver has taken an action 45 in apparent response to the potential hazard. For example, if the potential hazard comprises a rapidly approaching obstacle towards the front of the vehicle, the system can determine whether the driver has applied the vehicle's brakes, reduced the provision of gasoline to the engine, or taken some other prophylactic action such as, for example, steering to avoid the obstacle. When such an action has been detected, the system can determine to take no particular action 47 with respect to the provision of any cautionary warnings to the driver. When, however, no such action has yet been taken, the system can provide 46 a relatively low-level alert. For example, a low-level audible alarm can be provided or a relatively less-compelling graphic indicator can be provided on a heads-up, high-heads down, or other display for the driver. This lower level of cautionary warning accords with the previously determined information that the driver is already likely aware of the potential hazard.
Some other examples consistent with these embodiments now follow.
EXAMPLE 1 The driver of the vehicle activates his or her driver-side turn signal while the vehicle is in motion. On-board sensors detect the presence of another vehicle on that side of the driver's vehicle. A determination is made as to whether the driver is likely aware of the other vehicle by ascertaining whether the driver is presently looking in a direction that would likely encompass the other vehicle (or, in some embodiments, whether the driver will likely look in that direction within some reasonably relevant period of time). When not true, a compelling alert can be provided to the driver to alert the driver as to the presence of this other vehicle. When true, a more diminutive alert or no alert may be provided.
EXAMPLE 2 While a given driver navigates his vehicle at a substantially constant speed, an on-board sensor detects an obstacle rapidly approaching from the rear of the vehicle. A determination is made as to whether the driver is looking (or, in some embodiments, is likely to look in the near future) in his or her rear view mirror such that the presence of the rapidly approaching object is likely known to the driver. When not true, a compelling alert indicia can again be provided to the driver regarding this sensed condition. When true, however, and when the system can sense that an appropriate response has not yet been made (such as accelerating, steering so as to avoid the approaching object, or such other action as may be appropriate to monitor) a relatively diminutive cautionary indicia regarding this condition can be provided, or no alert may be provided.
So configured, it can be readily appreciated that the various embodiments described above all provide a significant and effective mechanism for facilitating effective use of the ever-increasing number of condition monitors, sensors, and other information sources as are available or will soon be generally available on modern vehicles while substantially avoiding the provision of likely redundant and/or annoying information to a driver. Cautionary and/or instructional indicia that correspond to a given vehicle condition regarding the vehicle and/or external influences likely to impact the vehicle can be provided in a metered fashion that accords with the likelihood that the driver is, or is not, already likely aware of the given condition.
