INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092395 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can detect when a moving body is approaching a collision hazard area, acquire a unique identifier list associated with the collision factor in that area, and control the moving body to avoid a collision based on the level of collision risk.

  • Information processing apparatus for collision avoidance:
 - Detects moving body approaching collision hazard area
 - Acquires unique identifier list linked to collision factor
 - Controls moving body to avoid collision based on risk level

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotics to prevent collisions with obstacles or other vehicles.

Problems Solved

1. Preventing accidents and collisions in high-risk areas. 2. Enhancing safety measures for moving bodies in hazardous environments.

Benefits

1. Improved safety for pedestrians and vehicles. 2. Efficient collision avoidance system. 3. Reduced risk of damage and injuries.

Potential Commercial Applications

Implementing this technology in self-driving cars, delivery drones, and industrial robots could increase their safety and reliability, making them more attractive to consumers and businesses.

Possible Prior Art

One potential prior art could be collision avoidance systems used in autonomous vehicles or drones, which may have similar functionalities to the described information processing apparatus.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus determine the level of collision risk?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how the apparatus calculates the level of collision risk based on the information stored in the unique identifier list.

What types of collision factors are considered in the unique identifier list?

It is not clear from the abstract what specific collision factors are included in the unique identifier list and how they are categorized for collision avoidance control.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing apparatus is configured to determine that a moving body has approached a collision hazard area, which is an area in which there is a possibility of collision with a collision factor, acquire a unique identifier list that is stored by associating information of the collision factor with a unique identifier linked to a space in which the collision factor exists, in a case in which it has been determined that the moving body has approached the collision hazard area, and perform control to the moving body so as to avoid a collision with the collision factor, according to the level of collision risk, based on the information of the collision factor that has been stored in the unique identifier list.
