ABSTRACT:
A dual function sleep preventing system comprises a micro optic eyelid monitor, a micro optic tilting monitor, a signal combination circuits and an alarming unit. The eyelid monitor is placed in the vicinity of an eye by an appropriate mounting device when in use, using an emitter to transmit modulated appropriate light signals towards the eye, and using optic sensors to sense the influenced light by the eyelid, to detect the movement of eyelid. The tilting monitor comprises an optic tilt switch set on the side head of a user, using a micro optic monitor to detect a small ball's rolling in a closed tube system inside the switch when tilting. Both the monitors are connected to a signal combination circuits, which has an input signal filtering device, a switch part and a counter. The filtering device sets an appropriate time delay range to pick up dangerous long symptoms, base on signal length and the difference between a monitor signal's appearing time and another monitor's. The counter circuits records the times of those signals' occurrence. When finding such a symptom, the combination circuits will stimulate a pre-alarming immediately to detect the sleepy state of a user. A fully alarming will follow if the user has no response after a limited waiting time, or if the times of repeating pre-alarming reaches a criteria value set in the counter.
