A system to identity and monitor contents and/or parts of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, by processing the signal received from the contents or parts using one or more techniques, includes neural networks or other pattern recognition systems and technologies including ultrasonic and electromagnetic radiation. The received signal is a combination of the reflection of a transmitted signal, the reflection of some natural signal within the vehicle, and also some signal emitted naturally by the object. A signal is emitted by transducer 132 and characteristic signals received by multiple transducers 131, 133. A neural network is trained to distinguish between adults, children, children in seats, plants, groceries and the like on the basis of these signals. Information obtained by the identification and monitoring system is then used to affect the operation of some other system in the vehicle such as the airbag, entertainment system, heating and air conditioning system, or the system to darken portions of the mirrors or windscreen. The system will automatically inform the emergency services of the number of people involved and the position of the car (by use of the GPS) in the event of a collision. <IMAGE> |
