COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR SWITCHING A CONTROL FUNCTION OF A VEHICLE BETWEEN A DRIVER AND AN AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED CONTROL METHOD OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479923 titled 'COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR SWITCHING A CONTROL FUNCTION OF A VEHICLE BETWEEN A DRIVER AND AN AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED CONTROL METHOD OF A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The computer-implemented method described in the patent application allows for the switching of a control function of a vehicle between a driver and an at least partially automated control method based on a stored driver profile and the state of the driver, vehicle, and control method.
- The method records a driver profile which includes information about the state of the driver, vehicle, and control method.
- The control function is switched between the driver and the automated control method depending on the driver profile and the current state of the driver, vehicle, and control method.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles
- Fleet management systems
- Driver assistance systems
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Improving safety by ensuring the most suitable control method is used at all times
- Enhancing driver comfort and convenience by automating certain control functions
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Increased efficiency in vehicle control
- Enhanced adaptability to different driving conditions
- Improved overall driving experience for the user
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be commercially applied in:
- Automotive industry
- Transportation and logistics sector
- Technology companies developing autonomous systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of driver profiles in vehicle settings to customize preferences such as seat position, climate control, and entertainment options.
Unanswered Questions
How does the method ensure the accuracy and reliability of the driver profile data?
The patent application does not provide details on the mechanisms used to verify and update the driver profile information to ensure its accuracy over time.
What are the potential privacy implications of storing and using driver profile data in this manner?
The patent application does not address the potential privacy concerns related to collecting and storing sensitive driver information for control function switching purposes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method for switching a control function of a vehicle between a driver and an at least partially automated control method for controlling the vehicle. In the method, a stored driver profile is recorded, wherein a state of the driver and/or a state of the vehicle and/or a state of the control method are recorded, wherein a switch of the control function between the driver and the control method is carried out depending on the driver profile and depending on the state of the driver and/or the state of the vehicle and/or the state of the control method.
