VEHICULAR DRIVING GUIDANCE METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958128 titled 'VEHICULAR DRIVING GUIDANCE METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can analyze driving route traffic information and determine if a traffic event requires a change in driving route or lane. It can also determine the severity level of the event based on driving time increase and accident risk, and display relevant information on a display device.
- The electronic device includes a communication module, processor, and memory.
- It obtains driving route traffic information of a connected vehicle.
- The device analyzes the information to determine if a traffic event requires a change in driving route or lane.
- It determines the severity level of the event based on driving time increase and accident risk.
- The device controls a display device to show line change information, lane change information, or a traffic sign corresponding to the severity level.
Potential Applications
- Navigation systems in vehicles can use this technology to provide real-time traffic event information and suggest alternate routes or lane changes.
- Transportation management systems can utilize this technology to monitor and manage traffic flow, improving overall efficiency and safety.
Problems Solved
- This technology addresses the problem of drivers being unaware of traffic events that may require a change in driving route or lane.
- It helps drivers make informed decisions to avoid traffic congestion or potential accidents.
Benefits
- The electronic device provides real-time traffic event information, allowing drivers to make timely decisions and potentially avoid delays or accidents.
- By suggesting alternate routes or lane changes, the device can help optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.
- The display of relevant information on a display device enhances driver awareness and safety.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include: a communication module comprising communication circuitry, a processor operatively coupled to the communication module, and a memory storing instructions operatively coupled to the processor. The instructions, when executed, may cause the processor to: obtain driving route traffic information of a first driving route of a vehicle connected to the electronic device, analyze the first driving route traffic information and determine a traffic event occurrence requiring a change in a driving route or a driving lane of the vehicle connected to the electronic device, based on the traffic event occurring, determine a severity level of the traffic event based on a driving time increase and an accident risk, and control a display device to display at least one of line change information, lane change information and a traffic sign corresponding to the severity level on a display device.
