LOST ARTICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM IN VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17742120 titled 'LOST ARTICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM IN VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for managing lost articles in a vehicle using cameras and sensors.

  • The method involves using a first camera or sensor to detect a passenger or an article in the vehicle, which is located at a certain distance from the passenger's seated point.
  • A second camera or sensor, located at a different distance from the seated point, is used to detect the passenger or article.
  • A third detection information is generated by detecting the background, excluding the passenger and the article.
  • A lost status prediction model is provided to determine if an article has been lost based on the detection information.
  • If it is determined that an article has been lost, a lost article confirmation request is displayed on multiple display devices in the vehicle.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Public transportation systems can use this method to track and manage lost articles, improving customer satisfaction.
  • Rental car companies can implement this method to quickly locate and retrieve lost items, reducing customer inconvenience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This method eliminates the need for manual searching and tracking of lost articles in a vehicle, saving time and effort.
  • It provides a systematic approach to managing lost articles, reducing the chances of items being permanently lost or misplaced.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency in locating and retrieving lost articles, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
  • Reduced costs associated with lost articles, such as replacement or compensation.
  • Enhanced passenger experience by providing a reliable system for managing lost items.


Original Abstract Submitted

A lost article management method in a vehicle includes: generating first detection information by detecting a passenger or an article by using a first camera or first sensor installed in the vehicle and separated by a first distance from a seated point of the passenger; generating second detection information by detecting the passenger or the article by using a second camera or second sensor installed in the vehicle and separated by a second distance from the seated point; generating third detection information by detecting a background excluding the passenger and the article; providing a lost status prediction model; determining whether an article has been lost from the first detection information to the third detection information; and displaying a lost article confirmation request on a plurality of display devices installed in the vehicle when it is determined that the article has been lost.
