VEHICLE COMMUNICATION CONTROL DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200182 titled 'VEHICLE COMMUNICATION CONTROL DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle communication control device that interacts with multiple vehicles. The device consists of a database created from data collected from the vehicles and a control unit that manages the acquired data based on information about the state of the own vehicle obtained from the vehicles and the completeness of the database.

  • The device communicates with multiple vehicles and collects data from them.
  • The collected data is used to generate a database.
  • The control unit of the device manages the acquired data.
  • The control unit considers the state of the own vehicle and the completeness of the database while controlling the acquired data.

Potential Applications:

  • Fleet management systems: The device can be used to monitor and control a fleet of vehicles, optimizing their performance and efficiency.
  • Traffic management: The collected data can be utilized to analyze traffic patterns and make informed decisions for traffic control and congestion management.
  • Vehicle diagnostics: The device can gather vehicle data to diagnose and identify potential issues, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing breakdowns.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of real-time vehicle data: The device solves the problem of limited access to real-time data from multiple vehicles by collecting and managing data from a plurality of vehicles.
  • Incomplete database: The control unit considers the completeness of the database, ensuring that the acquired data is reliable and comprehensive.

Benefits:

  • Improved vehicle performance: By analyzing data from multiple vehicles, the device can identify patterns and optimize vehicle performance, leading to improved fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
  • Enhanced traffic management: The collected data can aid in traffic management strategies, reducing congestion and improving overall traffic flow.
  • Proactive maintenance: The device enables proactive maintenance by identifying potential issues in vehicles, reducing breakdowns and improving safety.
