VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942375 titled 'VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle with a display that emits light to the ground surface. The vehicle also has a communicator that receives movement signals from an external terminal, and a controller that determines the vehicle's moving area based on these signals. The controller further identifies a danger area and a safety area within the moving area, and controls the display to emit light to these areas.

  • The vehicle has a display that emits light to the ground surface.
  • A communicator receives movement signals from an external terminal.
  • A controller determines the vehicle's moving area based on the received movement signals.
  • The controller identifies a danger area and a safety area within the moving area.
  • The display is controlled to emit light to the danger area and the safety area.

Potential Applications

  • Enhancing visibility and safety of vehicles in low-light conditions.
  • Providing visual cues to pedestrians and other vehicles about the moving area of the vehicle.
  • Assisting autonomous vehicles in communicating their intentions and movements to surrounding entities.

Problems Solved

  • Lack of visibility and awareness of a vehicle's moving area in low-light conditions.
  • Difficulty for pedestrians and other vehicles to anticipate the movements of a vehicle.
  • Limited communication capabilities of autonomous vehicles to convey their intentions and movements.

Benefits

  • Improved safety for vehicles and pedestrians by providing visual cues about the vehicle's moving area.
  • Enhanced communication between autonomous vehicles and their surroundings.
  • Increased visibility of vehicles in low-light conditions, reducing the risk of accidents.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes a display configured to emit light to a ground surface, a communicator configured to receive a movement signal of the vehicle through communication with an external terminal, and a controller communicatively connected to the communicator and configured to determine a moving area of the vehicle based on the received movement signal of the vehicle, determine a danger area and a safety area included in the moving area, and control the display to emit light to the danger area and the safety area.
