INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446560 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

An information processing apparatus is configured to determine and avoid collision hazards

  • The apparatus can detect when a moving body approaches a collision hazard area
  • It acquires a unique identifier list linked to the collision factor in the hazard area
  • The apparatus controls the moving body to avoid collision based on the stored information

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles to prevent collisions with obstacles or other vehicles on the road.

Problems Solved

This technology helps to reduce the risk of accidents and collisions by proactively avoiding potential hazards in the environment.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased safety for pedestrians, drivers, and passengers, as well as improved efficiency in traffic flow.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology is in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles that use sensors to detect obstacles and apply brakes or steering to avoid collisions.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus determine the level of collision risk based on the information stored in the unique identifier list?

The abstract mentions that the apparatus performs control to avoid collision based on the level of collision risk, but it does not specify the exact method or algorithm used for this determination.

What types of collision factors are considered in the unique identifier list?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific types of collision factors that are stored in the unique identifier list, leaving room for interpretation on what these factors could be.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus is configured to determine that a moving body has approached a collision hazard area, which is an area in which there is a possibility of collision with a collision factor, acquire a unique identifier list that is stored by associating information of the collision factor with a unique identifier linked to a space in which the collision factor exists, in a case in which it has been determined that the moving body has approached the collision hazard area, and perform control to the moving body so as to avoid a collision with the collision factor, according to the level of collision risk, based on the information of the collision factor that has been stored in the unique identifier list.
