<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an occupant detecting device suitably detecting that an occupant is a child. <P>SOLUTION: It is determined that the occupant is the child (112) when an remarkable increase of a detected value RI from a rear inner load sensor is detected (106, 108) in a predetermined period (for t<SB>1</SB>seconds around a timing for turning on a buckle switch) from a predetermined timing linked to an ON detecting timing of the buckle switch. Furthermore, it is determined that the occupant is the child (112) when a load difference between the detected value RI of the rear inner load sensor and a detected value RO of a rear outer load sensor is more than a predetermined value C and is stably generated after the predetermined period passes from the predetermined timing linked to the ON detecting timing of the buckle switch. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
