MONITORING SYSTEM, STORAGE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR MONITORING AND METHOD FOR MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18224303 titled 'MONITORING SYSTEM, STORAGE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR MONITORING AND METHOD FOR MONITORING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a monitoring system that can notify a driver in a tactually recognizable manner if their seat position is not within a recommended range for safe driving. The system includes a notifying unit and a processor that determines the seat position and sends a move request to adjust it if necessary.

  • The monitoring system includes a notifying unit capable of tactually notifying the driver of information.
  • The processor determines if the driver's seat position is within a recommended range for safe driving.
  • If the seat position is not within the recommended range, the system notifies the driver to adjust it.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to ensure that drivers are in a safe and comfortable position while driving.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent potential accidents caused by drivers sitting in unsafe positions while operating a vehicle.

Benefits

The system enhances driver safety by alerting them to adjust their seat position for optimal driving conditions.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Driver Safety with Seat Position Monitoring Technology"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to seat position monitoring systems in vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

What types of tactile notifications are used to alert the driver?

The patent application does not detail the specific tactile notifications employed by the notifying unit to communicate with the driver.


Original Abstract Submitted

A monitoring system has a notifying unit capable of notifying a driver of information in a tactually recognizable manner, and a processor configured to determine whether a seat position of a driver's seat in which a driver is sitting is within a recommended range that represents an extent of the seat position where the driver sitting in the driver's seat can drive a vehicle, and notify the driver of a move request requiring to adjust the seat position within the recommended range through the notifying control unit based on the determination that the seat position is not within the recommended range.
