BLIND SPOT DETECTION CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483999 titled 'BLIND SPOT DETECTION CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a blind spot detection control apparatus for a vehicle that judges whether an object detected in the blind spot zone is an alert object and warns the driver accordingly.
- The apparatus compares detection parameters of the current target object with those of a reference moving object from a previous detection cycle to determine if the object is an alert object.
Potential Applications
- Automotive safety systems
- Driver assistance technology
Problems Solved
- Improving driver awareness of objects in blind spots
- Enhancing overall vehicle safety
Benefits
- Reducing the risk of accidents
- Providing timely warnings to drivers
Potential Commercial Applications
Improving Blind Spot Detection Technology in Vehicles
Possible Prior Art
There are existing blind spot detection systems in vehicles that use sensors to detect objects in blind spots and alert the driver. However, the specific method of comparing detection parameters of current and reference objects may be a novel aspect of this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between different types of objects in the blind spot zone?
The patent application does not provide details on how the apparatus distinguishes between various objects in the blind spot zone.
What is the accuracy rate of the apparatus in identifying alert objects in the blind spot zone?
The patent application does not mention the accuracy rate of the apparatus in determining whether an object is an alert object.
Original Abstract Submitted
A blind spot detection control apparatus for a vehicle, configured for judging whether an object detected during a detection cycle in blind spot zone of the vehicle is an alert object, for outputting a result of judgement to a warning which warns a driver of vehicle that an object is present in blind spot zone based on judging that object detected in blind spot zone is an alert object, wherein apparatus is configured to judge whether an object detected in blind spot zone is an alert object by comparing detection parameters relating to a current target object detected in blind spot zone during a current detection cycle with detection parameters relating to a reference moving object corresponding to a target object detected in blind spot zone at least during a previous detection cycle.
