REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464549 titled 'REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a technique for a remote control apparatus that communicates with a vehicle to drive or assist it. The apparatus includes a display device and processors that acquire images from the vehicle camera, display the images, predict the vehicle's emergency stopping position when communication is lost, and display an object indicating the predicted position.
- Acquiring images from the vehicle camera
- Displaying images on the display device
- Predicting the vehicle's emergency stopping position
- Displaying an object indicating the predicted position
- Calculating reliability of communication with the vehicle
- Changing the appearance of the object based on communication reliability
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, remote control systems for industrial machinery, and surveillance systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in predicting the emergency stopping position of a vehicle when communication is lost, improving safety and control in remote driving scenarios.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced safety, improved control over remotely operated vehicles, and better decision-making capabilities in emergency situations.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include autonomous vehicle systems, remote control systems for drones, and surveillance systems for security purposes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be remote control systems for drones or other unmanned aerial vehicles that use similar techniques for predicting emergency situations.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle communication delays or interruptions?
The abstract does not provide information on how the system deals with communication delays or interruptions that may affect the prediction of the vehicle's emergency stopping position.
What are the limitations of the object indicating the predicted position?
The abstract does not mention any potential limitations of the object displayed on the screen to indicate the predicted position of the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure proposes a technique regarding a remote control apparatus for remotely driving or assisting a vehicle by communicating with the vehicle. The remote control apparatus comprises a display device and one or more processors. The one or more processors is configured to execute acquiring an image captured by a vehicle camera and traveling state information of the vehicle, displaying the image on the display device, predicting a position where the vehicle emergently stops when communication with the vehicle is lost based on the traveling state information, and displaying an object indicating the predicted position on the display device to be superimposed on the image. The displaying the object on the display device includes calculating a reliability of the communication with the vehicle, and changing an appearance of the object such that noticeability of the object is lower as the reliability is higher.
