VEHICLE CONTROLLER AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18478319 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROLLER AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle controller that can detect dangerous driving behavior and elevated moods of the driver to intervene and settle the driver's mood for safer driving.
- Processor detects driving state of the vehicle
- Determines if dangerous driving behavior is present
- Checks if driver's mood is elevated
- Performs vehicle control to settle driver's mood when necessary
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and autonomous vehicles, to improve road safety by addressing dangerous driving behaviors influenced by the driver's mood.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of dangerous driving behavior caused by elevated moods of drivers, which can lead to accidents and injuries on the road.
Benefits
- Enhanced road safety - Prevention of accidents caused by dangerous driving behavior - Improved driver well-being and mood regulation
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be integrated into vehicle safety systems, fleet management solutions, and driver monitoring systems to offer safer driving experiences and reduce the risk of accidents.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be driver monitoring systems that detect fatigue or distraction but may not specifically address the driver's mood and its impact on driving behavior.
What are the specific methods used to detect dangerous driving behavior in the vehicle controller?
The specific methods used to detect dangerous driving behavior in the vehicle controller are not detailed in the abstract. It would be interesting to know if the system relies on sensors, algorithms, or a combination of both to identify risky driving actions.
How does the vehicle controller settle the mood of the driver?
The abstract mentions that the vehicle controller performs vehicle control to settle the mood of the driver when necessary. It would be beneficial to understand the techniques or interventions used by the system to influence and regulate the driver's mood effectively.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle controller for a vehicle includes a processor to: detect a driving state of the vehicle; determine whether a predetermined dangerous driving is included in the detected driving state; determine, when determining that the predetermined dangerous driving is included in the detected driving state, whether a mood of a driver of the vehicle is elevated; and perform, when determining that the mood of the driver is elevated, vehicle control to settle the mood of the driver.
