VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE CONTROL PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464920 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE CONTROL PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The vehicle control system described in the patent application allows for remote cancellation of commands sent to a vehicle, as well as adjusting the vehicle's control based on communication delay time between the vehicle and the remote assistance apparatus.

  • The vehicle control system sets a cancellable period during which commands can be cancelled by the remote assistance apparatus.
  • The system acquires and considers the communication delay time between the vehicle and the remote assistance apparatus.
  • It adjusts the control amount of the vehicle related to speed based on the communication delay time, as long as the current time is within the cancellable period and the communication delay time meets certain criteria.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, remote vehicle assistance services, and fleet management systems.

Problems Solved

1. Remote cancellation of commands sent to vehicles. 2. Adjusting vehicle control based on communication delay time.

Benefits

1. Improved safety and control of vehicles. 2. Enhanced efficiency in remote vehicle assistance. 3. Better management of fleet operations.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing vehicle performance in real-time, enhancing remote vehicle assistance services, and improving overall fleet management efficiency.

Possible Prior Art

One potential prior art could be systems that allow for remote control or monitoring of vehicles, but the specific feature of adjusting vehicle control based on communication delay time may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle different types of commands or control adjustments?

The patent abstract does not specify if the system can differentiate between various types of commands or control adjustments and how it prioritizes them.

What measures are in place to ensure the security and integrity of the communication between the vehicle and the remote assistance apparatus?

The abstract does not mention any security protocols or encryption methods to protect the communication between the vehicle control system and the remote assistance apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

The vehicle control system, in response to transmission of a command from a remote assistance apparatus to a vehicle, sets a cancellable period during which the command can be cancelled by the remote assistance apparatus. Also, the vehicle control system acquires a communication delay time between the vehicle and the remote assistance apparatus. The vehicle control system adjusts a control amount of the vehicle related to a speed in accordance with the communication delay time on condition that current time is within the cancellable period and the communication delay time is equal to or greater than a predetermined time.
