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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372180 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The control device described in the patent application is designed to propose steering adjustments to a driver in order to avoid a risk object on the side of the mobile object's traveling direction. The device includes a determiner that checks if the assumed reference position of the mobile object intersects a traveling road boundary, and a proposer that makes the proposal based on this determination.

  • Determiner checks if assumed reference position intersects traveling road boundary
  • Proposer suppresses proposal if reference position intersects boundary, makes proposal if it does not

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems.

Problems Solved

- Helps drivers avoid risk objects on the side of the road - Improves safety on the road by providing timely steering proposals

Benefits

- Enhances driver awareness and responsiveness - Reduces the risk of accidents and collisions

Potential Commercial Applications

"Collision Avoidance System for Autonomous Vehicles" could be a potential commercial application for this technology.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in the field of collision avoidance systems and driver assistance technologies may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology integrate with existing vehicle systems?

The patent application does not detail how the control device interacts with the vehicle's steering system or other safety features.

What testing has been done to validate the effectiveness of this control device?

The patent application does not mention any testing or validation procedures conducted to demonstrate the functionality and reliability of the proposed technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control device of an embodiment is a control device that makes a proposal for steering to avoid a risk object present on a traveling direction side of a mobile object to a driver of the mobile object and includes a determiner configured to determine, when it is assumed that the mobile object is caused to travel straight from a current position of the mobile object in a current traveling direction for a predetermined time, whether an assumed reference position of the mobile object intersects a traveling road boundary, and a proposer configured to suppress the proposal when it is determined that the reference position intersects the traveling road boundary, and makes the proposal when it is determined that the reference position does not intersect the traveling road boundary.
