NOTIFICATION CONTROL DEVICE, NOTIFICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18371464 titled 'NOTIFICATION CONTROL DEVICE, NOTIFICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a control device that sets a moving area with a trajectory for a mobile object, controls an information provision device to notify the driver of objects in the surrounding and moving areas, and re-notifies the driver if needed.

  • The control device sets a moving area with a trajectory for a mobile object.
  • The information provision device notifies the driver of objects in the surrounding area.
  • The information provision device re-notifies the driver if objects are present in the moving area.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotics to enhance safety and awareness of surrounding objects.

Problems Solved

This technology helps drivers be aware of objects in their surroundings and moving areas, reducing the risk of accidents and collisions.

Benefits

The technology improves driver safety, reduces accidents, and enhances overall situational awareness on the road.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized in the automotive industry, transportation sector, and logistics companies to improve driver safety and efficiency.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of sensors and cameras in vehicles to detect objects in the surrounding area and provide alerts to the driver.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology differentiate between different types of objects in the surrounding and moving areas?

The technology likely uses object recognition algorithms and sensors to identify and classify different types of objects based on their size, shape, and movement patterns.

How does the re-notification process work if the driver does not see the object after the initial notification?

The re-notification process may involve continuous monitoring of the object's presence in the moving area and triggering alerts to the driver if the object remains in the trajectory path of the mobile object.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control device performs: setting a moving area including a trajectory along which a mobile object is scheduled to move with behavior of the mobile object and a surrounding area when the mobile object moves straight, turns right, or turns left; controlling an information provision device configured to provide a driver with information such that the driver is notified of presence of a first type of object when a first type of object is present in the surrounding area and the driver does not see the first type of object; and controlling the information provision device such that the driver is re-notified of the first type of object when the first type of object is present in the moving area and the driver does not see the first type of object after the driver has seen the first type of object through the notification.
