METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPERATING A PERIPHERAL DEVICE OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17948042 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPERATING A PERIPHERAL DEVICE OF A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes systems and methods for operating a peripheral device of a vehicle. Control circuitry determines if the peripheral device is connected to a vehicle controller and receives operational settings for the device. The vehicle controller is then used to control the peripheral device based on the received settings.

  • Control circuitry determines connection of peripheral device to vehicle controller
  • Operational settings received for peripheral device
  • Vehicle controller used to control peripheral device based on settings

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and robotics where precise control of peripheral devices is required.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently controlling peripheral devices of a vehicle by utilizing a vehicle controller and receiving operational settings.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency, precise control of peripheral devices, and potential for automation in various applications.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the automotive industry for controlling various vehicle components such as lights, sensors, or actuators.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing systems for controlling peripheral devices in vehicles using separate controllers or manual settings.

What are the specific operational settings that can be received for the peripheral device?

The specific operational settings that can be received for the peripheral device may include parameters such as speed, direction, intensity, timing, or any other relevant settings needed for controlling the device.

How does the control circuitry determine the connection of the peripheral device to the vehicle controller?

The control circuitry may determine the connection of the peripheral device to the vehicle controller through various methods such as communication protocols, physical connections, or sensor feedback to detect the presence of the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are described for operating a peripheral device of a vehicle. Control circuitry determines whether the peripheral device is connected to a vehicle controller. Control circuitry receives operational settings for the peripheral device, e.g., in response to determining that the peripheral device is connected to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller is used to control the peripheral device using the received operational settings.
