PRESENTATION CONTROL DEVICE, AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CONTROL DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18389938 titled 'PRESENTATION CONTROL DEVICE, AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CONTROL DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a presentation control device for autonomous driving functions in a vehicle. The device can detect when a switch from a driving assist control to an autonomous traveling control becomes possible, as well as monitor if a lane change by the autonomous driving function requires driver monitoring. It can also provide notifications when a switch to autonomous control is possible during a lane change under the driving assist control.

  • Grasping switch from driving assist to autonomous control
  • Monitoring lane change for driver monitoring requirement
  • Providing notifications for switch to autonomous control during lane change

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Problems Solved

1. Ensures smooth transition from manual driving to autonomous driving. 2. Enhances safety by notifying drivers of control changes during critical maneuvers.

Benefits

1. Improved driver awareness and control. 2. Enhanced safety features for autonomous driving. 3. Seamless integration of different driving modes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing autonomous driving systems in vehicles for improved safety and user experience.

Possible Prior Art

No prior art information available at this time.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device differentiate between driving assist and autonomous control modes?

The device likely uses sensors and algorithms to detect the level of driver involvement required for each mode.

What types of notifications are provided to the driver during a lane change under the driving assist control?

Notifications could include visual or auditory alerts indicating the possibility of switching to autonomous control.


Original Abstract Submitted

A presentation control device, which controls presentation of information relating to autonomous driving function of a vehicle, is configured to: grasp whether a switch from a driving assist control, which requires a periphery monitoring by a driver as an obligation, to an autonomous traveling control, which does not require the periphery monitoring by the driver as the obligation, becomes possible; grasp whether a lane change by the autonomous driving function is being performed in a state which requires the periphery monitoring by the driver as the obligation; and during a control period of lane change by the driving assist control, in response to the switch to the autonomous traveling control becomes possible, perform a switch possible notification indicating that the switch to the autonomous traveling control becomes possible during the control period.
