Prototype device project according to the European Patent: “Device for detecting reduced vigilance condition” EP 04460032.8-2215 (WP/2/20030), publication EP 1 501 061 B1

Aim of project
Prototype device project. The invention is a device for detecting reduced vigilance condition in case of individuals who may cause dangerous situations, particularly drivers, life-saving teams. The device consists of a transmitter (light-emitting diode LED IR) and a receiver (photo-detectors) connected to the electro-acoustic transducer. Illumination of photo-detectors is interrupted by eyelid drop in reduced vigilance condition. The result of it changes output photo-detectors voltage and activates the alarm signal.

Expected results
Design and construction of prototype device with the given functions;

A reaction of the device to slow eyelid drop;

The device should be reliable and non-invasive for the user.
