DRIVING DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, DRIVING DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM, DRIVING DIAGNOSTIC METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18307007 titled 'DRIVING DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, DRIVING DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM, DRIVING DIAGNOSTIC METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a driving diagnostic unit that analyzes the reverse operation of a vehicle based on specific time durations and threshold values. Here are the key points:

  • The driving diagnostic unit focuses on the reverse operation of a vehicle.
  • It calculates the duration during which the vehicle speed remains below a certain threshold.
  • The duration is measured in two time periods: before and after a switching time.
  • The switching time is when the shift lever of the vehicle is moved to the R (Reverse) range.
  • The unit compares the duration to a maximum value and a second threshold value.
  • If the duration exceeds the maximum value or is below the second threshold value, driving diagnostics are performed.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: The driving diagnostic unit can be integrated into vehicles to provide real-time analysis and feedback on reverse operations.
  • Fleet management: Companies with large vehicle fleets can utilize this technology to monitor and improve the reverse driving skills of their drivers.
  • Driver training: Driving schools can incorporate this technology to assess and provide feedback on students' reverse driving abilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of objective assessment: The driving diagnostic unit provides an objective analysis of reverse driving performance, eliminating subjective judgments.
  • Safety concerns: By monitoring and analyzing reverse operations, this technology can help identify potential safety risks and prevent accidents.
  • Skill improvement: The unit's feedback and diagnostics can assist drivers in improving their reverse driving skills.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced safety: By identifying and addressing potential issues in reverse driving, this technology contributes to overall road safety.
  • Cost savings: Improved reverse driving skills can reduce the likelihood of accidents and associated repair costs.
  • Efficient training: Driving schools and fleet managers can use the unit's diagnostics to tailor training programs and focus on specific areas of improvement.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a driving diagnostic unit that performs driving diagnostics related to a reverse operation of a vehicle based on a maximum value of a duration and a second threshold value, the duration being a time during which a vehicle speed of the vehicle in at least one of a time period between a first time before a switching time at which a shift lever of the vehicle is moved from a shift position other than an R range to the R range by a predetermined time and the switching time and a time period between a second time after the switching time by a predetermined time and the switching time continues to be a first threshold value or less.
