PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an occupant detection system and occupant detection method that makes it possible to improve occupant detection sensitivity and can precisely detect an occupant.SOLUTION: An occupant detection system (100) in accordance with the present invention is an occupant detection system that detects an occupant who operates equipment loaded on a vehicle, and includes: a first electrode unit (110) that is disposed in the equipment; a second electrode unit (120) that is disposed in a vehicle compartment of the vehicle so that the second electrode unit can be electrically connected to the first electrode via the body of the occupant when the occupant operates the equipment; a signal generation unit (130) that generates a first alternating-current (AC) signal, feeds the signal to the first electrode unit, generates a second AC signal whose phase is reverse to that of the first AC signal, and feeds the signal to the second electrode unit; and a signal discrimination unit (140) that discriminates the signals which are transmitted to the first electrode unit and second electrode unit respectively, from each other. |
