METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546319 titled 'METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for operating a motor vehicle with a vehicle communication arrangement fixed to the body, where signals from a user device are received to monitor the distance between the user device and the vehicle during operation. A safety operating state is activated if the distance exceeds a predefined threshold value.
- User device emits signals
- Signals received by vehicle communication arrangement
- Distance between user device and vehicle monitored
- Safety operating state activated if distance exceeds threshold
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles
- Fleet management systems
- Driver assistance systems
Problems Solved
This technology helps to:
- Improve safety on the road
- Prevent accidents due to distractions
- Enhance communication between user device and vehicle
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Increased safety for drivers and passengers
- Real-time monitoring of user device proximity
- Enhanced control over vehicle operation
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Automotive industry
- Transportation companies
- Insurance companies
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Vehicle proximity sensors
- Driver monitoring systems
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact user privacy?
This technology raises concerns about user privacy as it involves monitoring the distance between the user device and the vehicle. Companies implementing this technology need to address privacy issues and ensure user data is protected.
What are the potential limitations of this technology?
Some potential limitations of this technology could include:
- Interference with other electronic devices

- Compatibility with different user devices
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for operating a motor vehicle having at least one vehicle communication arrangement fixed to the body. Signals are emitted by a user device, which can be handled independently of the motor vehicle and can be assigned or is assigned to a driver of the motor vehicle, and are received by the vehicle communication arrangement. A distance between the user device and the motor vehicle is monitored on the basis of the received signals. Provision is made for the distance to be monitored during operation of the motor vehicle and for a safety operating state of the motor vehicle to be activated when a distance exceeding a predefined threshold value is detected.
