DRAWING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985905 titled 'DRAWING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a drawing apparatus that is mounted on a vehicle and uses light to draw various patterns on a road surface as the vehicle moves forward. The apparatus includes a storage unit to store multiple drawing patterns, a communication unit to receive updates on these patterns, and a processor to update the storage content based on the received information.

  • The drawing apparatus is mounted on a vehicle and uses light to create drawings on the road surface.
  • It can draw multiple patterns on the road as the vehicle advances.
  • The apparatus includes a storage unit to store these drawing patterns.
  • A communication unit allows the apparatus to receive updates on the drawing patterns.
  • A processor is used to update the storage content based on the received update information.

Potential Applications

  • Road marking and signage: The apparatus can be used to create temporary road markings or signage for construction zones, detours, or special events.
  • Advertising and promotions: The apparatus can be used to display temporary advertisements or promotional messages on the road surface.
  • Traffic control: The apparatus can be used to create temporary traffic control signs or symbols on the road surface.

Problems Solved

  • Flexibility and adaptability: The apparatus allows for easy and quick changes to the drawing patterns, enabling temporary markings or messages to be created as needed.
  • Cost-effective: The apparatus eliminates the need for physical road markings or signs, reducing the cost of installation and maintenance.
  • Temporary solutions: The apparatus provides a temporary solution for road markings or signage that can be easily removed or changed when no longer needed.

Benefits

  • Versatility: The apparatus can create a wide range of drawing patterns, allowing for various applications and messages to be displayed.
  • Efficiency: The ability to update the drawing patterns using the received information ensures that the apparatus always has the latest designs.
  • Mobility: Being mounted on a vehicle, the apparatus can easily move to different locations, providing flexibility in where the drawings are created.
