Description:AS ATTACHED , Claims:AS ATTACHED

I/We Claim:
1. A method comprising:
monitoring a sensor data obtained from a motion sensor installed
within a vehicle, wherein the sensor data includes a motion attribute of the
5 vehicle;
detecting initiation of a turn by the vehicle, on determining a first
instance when the value of the motion attribute is greater than a first
threshold value;
determining a first degree of turn based on the value of motion
10 attribute till the value of motion attribute remains greater than the first
threshold value;
on determining the value of the motion attribute to be between a
predefined range for a predetermined time, detecting completion of turn;
comparing the first degree of turn with a threshold degree value; and
15 on determining the first degree of turn to be greater than or equal to
the threshold degree value, deactivating a turn indicator of the vehicle.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method comprises:
on determining the value of the motion attribute to be between the
predefined range for the predetermined time, monitoring a speed value
20 obtained from a speed sensor;
compare the speed value with a threshold speed value;
on determining the speed value greater than the threshold speed
value, detecting the completion of the turn.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method comprises:
25 on determining the value of the motion attribute not present within
the predefined range for the predetermined time, continue monitoring the
sensor data;
based on the continued monitoring, on determining a second
instance when the value of the motion attribute becomes greater than the first threshold value, determining a second degree of turn till the value of the
motion attribute remains greater than the first threshold value; and
accumulating the second degree of turn with the first degree of turn
to obtain an accumulated degree of turn.
5 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the method comprises:
comparing the accumulated degree of turn with the threshold degree
value; and
on determining the accumulated degree of turn to be greater than or
equal to the threshold degree value, deactivating the turn indicator.
10 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the predefined range is
defined between a second threshold value and a third threshold value,
wherein the second threshold value is greater than the third threshold value,
wherein the second threshold value is less than or equal to the first threshold
value.
15 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the motion sensor is an
Inertial Measurement unit (IMU) comprising an accelerometer and a
gyroscope, wherein the motion attribute indicates vehicle’s movement along
X, Y, Z-axes.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method further
20 comprises:
processing the obtained sensor data based on a turn detection model
to detect initiation of turn and completion of turn, wherein the turn detection
model is configured to learn user behavior and adjust the predefined
thresholds based on the learned user behavior; and
25 based on the detection of completion of turn, deactivating the turn
indicator.
8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the turn detection model
is trained based on a training information comprising gyroscope values,
accelerometer values, speed of the vehicle, and throttle given by the user
30 based on data obtained during historical rides of the user, wherein the turn detection model is configured to consider maneuver of the historical rides of
the user based on the GPS location and features of the road recorded by a
camera device installed on the vehicle during the turn.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method comprises:
5 detecting activation of the turn indicator by the driver before making
the turn.
10. A control unit, wherein the control unit is to:
monitor a sensor data obtained from a motion sensor installed within
a vehicle, wherein the sensor data includes a motion attribute of the vehicle;
10 detect initiation of a turn by the vehicle, on determining a first
instance when the value of the motion attribute is greater than a first
threshold value;
determine a first degree of turn based on the value of motion attribute
for a time period till the value of motion attribute remains greater than the
15 first threshold value;
on determining the value of the motion attribute to be between a
predefined range for a predetermined time, detect completion of the turn;
compare the degree of turn with a threshold degree value; and
on determining the first degree of turn to be greater than or equal to
20 the threshold degree value, deactivate a turn indicator of the vehicle.
