TERMINAL AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17990524 titled 'TERMINAL AND VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle system that includes a display, an electronic device, a control panel, a communicator, and a processor. The processor is configured to identify a first item on the control panel that has the same function as an item on the control panel of another vehicle. It then controls the display to show a control panel image of the vehicle and the other vehicle, with the same emoticon displayed on the identified item in both images.

  • The vehicle system includes a display, electronic device, control panel, communicator, and processor.
  • The processor identifies a first item on the control panel that has the same function as an item on the control panel of another vehicle.
  • The display is controlled to show a control panel image of the vehicle and the other vehicle.
  • The same emoticon is displayed on the identified item in both control panel images.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Vehicle manufacturers can use this technology to create a standardized control panel interface across different vehicle models.
  • Fleet management companies can use this technology to easily compare and control the functions of different vehicles in their fleet.
  • Car rental companies can use this technology to provide a consistent user experience across their vehicle fleet.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistencies in control panel layouts and functions across different vehicles can lead to confusion and difficulty in operating the vehicle.
  • Comparing and controlling the functions of different vehicles can be time-consuming and complex.
  • Standardizing the control panel interface can improve user experience and reduce the learning curve for operating different vehicles.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Users can easily understand and operate the control panel of different vehicles, as they have a consistent layout and function.
  • Fleet managers can efficiently manage and control the functions of different vehicles in their fleet.
  • Standardizing the control panel interface can improve safety by reducing distractions and confusion while driving.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes: a display; an electronic device; a control panel including a plurality of items and configured to receive control information for controlling at least one function performed in the electronic device through at least one of the plurality of items; a communicator configured to perform communication with a server; and a processor. The processor is configured to identify a first item having a same function among the plurality of items of the control panel of the vehicle and a plurality of items of a control panel provided in another vehicle, based on manual guide information of the vehicle and manual guide information of the other vehicle received through the communicator. The processor is configured to control the display to display a control panel image of the vehicle and a control panel image of the other vehicle and to display a same emoticon with respect to the identified first item on each of the control panel image of the vehicle and the control panel image of the other vehicle.
