FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the occupant diagnosis apparatus 12 in the first embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the operation of the passenger diagnosis apparatus 12 will be described with reference to FIG.
The passenger 2 turns on a switch (not shown) of the passenger diagnosis device 12 after getting on the vehicle 1 (ST01). When the switch is turned on, the control means 8 determines whether or not the engine is started based on a signal from the engine detection sensor 9 (ST02). If it is determined that the engine has been started, the control means 8 next determines whether or not the vehicle 1 is traveling based on a signal from the vehicle speed detection sensor 10 (ST03). Further, as the passenger diagnosis device 12 is switched on, detection of the amount of ultraviolet rays by the ultraviolet sensor 6 is started.

If it is determined that the vehicle 1 is traveling, the control means 8 outputs an operation command to the in-vehicle camera 5 to take an image of the passenger 2 in the initial state on the day (ST04). At this time, the in-vehicle camera 5 is operated in a mode in which the skin condition of the passenger 2 is finely observed. The captured image data is stored in a database in the control means 8.
Further, while the vehicle 1 is traveling, it is determined whether or not the amount of ultraviolet rays detected by the ultraviolet sensor 6 has exceeded a predetermined value (ST05). The operation command is output to the occupant 2 and the skin condition of the passenger 2 is photographed (ST06).

The photographed image data is sent to the control means 8, and the control means 8 finely analyzes the skin condition of the passenger 2 based on the image data photographed in the internal image analysis unit (ST07). The analysis here is performed by comparing with the initial state data of the day taken in step ST04 or with the state data stored in the database in the past, and when the state changes (for example, wrinkles or spots have occurred). Data), the analyzed data is stored in the database as the latest data (ST08).
If the amount of ultraviolet rays detected by the ultraviolet sensor 6 does not exceed a predetermined value in step ST05, the process proceeds to step ST07 and the image data photographed in step ST04 is analyzed.

Next, the control means 8 determines whether or not the operation of the vehicle 1 is finished by the passenger 2 and the engine is turned off based on a signal from the engine detection sensor 9 (ST09). If the engine is not stopped, the control means 8 determines that the vehicle 1 continues to travel, returns to step ST05, and determines again whether the amount of ultraviolet rays exceeds a predetermined value.
If it is determined in step ST09 that the engine is stopped, the control means 8 teaches advice according to the result analyzed in step ST07 (for example, a cosmetic that hides a stain when the stain increases and a makeup method using the same). Is output from the speaker 11 toward the passenger 2 (ST10).

  According to the above-described configuration, when the vehicle 1 is boarded, even if the passenger 2 is unknowingly exposed to a large amount of ultraviolet rays and the skin condition changes, the passenger diagnostic device 12 can operate the passenger 2. Since the skin condition of the vehicle is accurately grasped and managed, and the optimum advice corresponding to the skin condition is given, the passenger 2 can easily know his / her skin condition and a countermeasure for the vehicle 1. It is possible to cope with changes in the skin condition even during movement by.

  In addition, according to the above-described configuration, when the amount of ultraviolet rays that the passenger 2 takes exceeds a predetermined value, that is, photographing is performed by the in-vehicle camera 5 according to the amount of ultraviolet rays, it is accurate according to the weather on the day of driving. Passenger diagnosis can be performed. In addition, since the amount of ultraviolet rays for operating the in-vehicle camera 5 can be arbitrarily set, if the skin is weak against ultraviolet rays, a predetermined value is set lower to more accurately change the skin condition. Can be caught.

In 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure which image | photographs the skin state of the passenger 2 with the vehicle-mounted camera 5 each time the ultraviolet-ray irradiated in the vehicle interior of the vehicle 1 exceeds predetermined value during driving | running | working of the vehicle 1. However, as a modification of the first embodiment, for example, the amount of ultraviolet rays exceeding a predetermined value detected by the ultraviolet sensor 6 is integrated, for example, when a rider 2 finishes driving, a switch (not shown) is pressed, It is good also as a structure which image | photographs with the vehicle-mounted camera 5 at the time of pressing of a switch.
According to this configuration, it is possible to record changes in the state of the skin according to the total amount of ultraviolet rays, to give advice according to the equivalent amount of ultraviolet rays recorded in the past, and to determine the number of times of shooting by the in-vehicle camera 5. The amount of data can be reduced.
