VEHICLE OUTSIDE MONITORING APPARATUS, MONITORING SERVICE CENTER, AND VEHICLE OUTSIDE MONITORING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18272760 titled 'VEHICLE OUTSIDE MONITORING APPARATUS, MONITORING SERVICE CENTER, AND VEHICLE OUTSIDE MONITORING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a vehicle outside monitoring apparatus capable of appropriately dealing with an attention-requiring state when a specific target object other than the subject vehicle or target person is in the attention-requiring state.
- Monitoring target information acquisition unit: Acquires monitoring target information of at least one monitoring target located around a subject vehicle.
- Periphery information acquisition unit: Acquires periphery information around the subject vehicle.
- Attention-requiring state determination unit: Determines whether or not the monitoring target is in an attention-requiring state based on the monitoring target information and the periphery information.
- Controller: Controls the subject vehicle so that it avoids the attention-requiring state when the attention-requiring state determination unit determines that the monitoring target is in the attention-requiring state.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, surveillance systems, and security systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in avoiding potential accidents or dangerous situations by detecting attention-requiring states of monitoring targets.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved safety, enhanced monitoring capabilities, and better decision-making for vehicle control.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing surveillance systems that monitor surroundings for potential threats or dangers.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between different types of attention-requiring states?
The apparatus uses a combination of monitoring target information and periphery information to determine the attention-requiring state, but it is not specified how it distinguishes between different types of attention-requiring states.
What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the attention-requiring state determination?
While the abstract mentions the determination of the attention-requiring state, it does not detail any specific measures or algorithms used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of this determination.
Original Abstract Submitted
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a vehicle outside monitoring apparatus capable of appropriately dealing with an attention-requiring state when a specific target object other than the subject vehicle or target person is in the attention-requiring state. A vehicle outside monitoring apparats according to the present disclosure includes: a monitoring target information acquisition unit acquiring monitoring target information of at least one monitoring target located around a subject vehicle; a periphery information acquisition unit acquiring periphery information around the subject vehicle; an attention-requiring state determination unit determining whether or not the monitoring target is in an attention-requiring state based on the monitoring target information and the periphery information; and a controller controlling the subject vehicle so that the subject vehicle avoids the attention-requiring state when the attention-requiring state determination unit determines that the monitoring target is in the attention-requiring state.
