DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349268 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The driving support apparatus described in the patent application is designed to detect objects and prevent collisions by overriding collision control under certain conditions. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The apparatus includes a sensor to detect objects and a controller to prevent collisions under normal conditions.
  • The controller can override collision control if certain conditions are met during an erroneous operation.
  • It can determine if an acceleration operation is the erroneous operation based on predetermined conditions.
  • It can also determine if a relaxation condition is satisfied based on the number of collision control executions during the erroneous operation.

Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Advanced driver assistance systems

Problems Solved: - Preventing collisions during erroneous operations - Enhancing safety on the road

Benefits: - Increased safety for drivers and pedestrians - Reduced risk of accidents

Potential Commercial Applications: - Automotive industry - Transportation companies

Possible Prior Art: - Similar collision prevention systems in autonomous vehicles - Advanced driver assistance systems with collision avoidance features

Unanswered Questions:

1. How does the apparatus differentiate between normal and erroneous operations? 2. What specific conditions trigger the override of collision control?


Original Abstract Submitted

A driving support apparatus comprises a sensor for detecting an object, and a controller for prohibiting a collision control when an override condition is satisfied. The controller executes the collision control in a case where the override condition is satisfied during an erroneous operation, determines that an acceleration operation is the erroneous operation in a case where a predetermined normal erroneous operation condition is satisfied, or in a case where a predetermined relaxation erroneous operation condition is satisfied when a predetermined relaxation condition is satisfied, and determines that the relaxation condition is satisfied when a number of executions of the collision control during the erroneous operation in one trip is greater than or equal to a first threshold number or when a number of determinations that the acceleration operation is the erroneous operation in one trip is greater than or equal to a second threshold number.
