VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18090559 titled 'VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a system where a vehicle's headlight operation mode is controlled based on the driver's settings and user input. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system has a Vehicle Processor (VP) that receives light operation mode requests from an Advanced Driver Kit (ADK) when the driver sets the mode to "OFF" or "AUTO".
  • If the user performs a light operation, the VP changes the headlight operation mode accordingly.
  • If the user does not perform any light operation, the VP changes the headlight operation mode based on the light operation mode request received from the ADK.

Potential Applications:

  • Automotive industry: This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, to improve the control and efficiency of headlight operation modes.

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistent headlight operation: This technology solves the problem of inconsistent headlight operation modes by automatically adjusting the mode based on user input and driver settings.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety: By automatically adjusting the headlight operation mode, this technology ensures that the vehicle's headlights are always in the appropriate mode, enhancing visibility and safety on the road.
  • User convenience: The system eliminates the need for manual adjustment of headlight operation modes, providing convenience to the driver.
  • Energy efficiency: By optimizing the headlight operation modes based on user input and driver settings, this technology helps conserve energy and improve fuel efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

When a first driver setting mode indicates an “OFF mode” or an “AUTO mode,” a VP accepts a light operation mode request from an ADK. When an operation is performed by a user, the VP changes an operation mode of a headlight in accordance with the operation by the user. When the operation by the user has not been performed, the VP changes the operation mode of the headlight in accordance with the light operation mode request.
