VEHICLE STATE GRASPING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324153 titled 'VEHICLE STATE GRASPING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a system that detects abnormal tire pressure in a vehicle and notifies the administrator when the tire pressure returns to normal without any tire replacement or repair operations. The administrator can then provide warning information to the current driver of the vehicle.
- The system detects abnormal tire pressure in a vehicle.
- It determines when the tire pressure returns to normal without any tire replacement or repair operations.
- It notifies the administrator terminal device about the abnormality.
- The administrator terminal device provides warning information to the current driver of the vehicle.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Fleet management systems: This technology can be used in fleet management systems to monitor tire pressure and notify administrators about abnormal tire conditions.
- Vehicle rental companies: Rental companies can use this technology to ensure that customers do not drive vehicles with abnormal tire pressure, reducing the risk of accidents and damage.
- Transportation companies: Companies involved in transportation can utilize this technology to maintain optimal tire pressure in their vehicles, improving fuel efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Timely detection of abnormal tire pressure: The system allows for the early detection of abnormal tire pressure, preventing potential accidents or damage caused by driving with underinflated or overinflated tires.
- Efficient communication with administrators: The system automatically notifies the administrator terminal device about abnormal tire conditions, ensuring that the appropriate actions can be taken promptly.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety: By detecting and notifying about abnormal tire pressure, this technology helps prevent accidents and damage caused by driving with improper tire pressure.
- Cost savings: Timely detection of abnormal tire pressure can prevent tire damage and reduce maintenance costs. Additionally, maintaining optimal tire pressure improves fuel efficiency, resulting in cost savings for vehicle owners.
- Enhanced fleet management: This technology provides administrators with real-time information about tire conditions, allowing for better fleet management and proactive maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
After the air pressure of the tire of the vehicle has decreased to a predetermined abnormal value, the system management server determines that the vehicle has returned to a normal value without performing a tire replacement operation or a tire repair operation (for example, there is a driver that continuously drives the vehicle by replenishing air without performing a tire replacement even if the tire is punctured), and transmits abnormality notification information to the administrator terminal device. Thus, the warning information is provided to the current driver of the vehicle by the operation of the administrator terminal device by the administrator.
