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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101067 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control apparatus that sets a remote operation permitted range for a vehicle based on its movement information and restricts remote operation input from a user terminal if the vehicle is outside this range.

  • The first obtaining unit gathers position information of the vehicle.
  • The setting unit establishes a remote operation permitted range for the vehicle using movement information from a predetermined period.
  • The second obtaining unit collects information indicating specific remote operations performed by a user.
  • The controlling unit limits remote operation input if the vehicle's position is outside the permitted range.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for remote vehicle operations, such as starting the engine or adjusting settings from a user terminal.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent unauthorized remote operations on a vehicle by restricting input when the vehicle is outside the permitted range.

Benefits

- Enhanced security for remote vehicle operations - Improved control over vehicle functions from a user terminal

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Vehicle Security with Remote Operation Control Technology"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to remote control systems for vehicles, but this specific combination of setting a permitted range based on movement information and restricting remote operations outside this range may be novel.

What are the technical specifications of the control apparatus described in the patent application?

The technical specifications of the control apparatus, such as the sensors used to obtain position information and movement data, the communication protocols between the user terminal and the vehicle, and the algorithms for setting the permitted range and restricting remote operations, are not detailed in the abstract.

How does this technology compare to existing remote control systems for vehicles?

This technology appears to offer a more secure and controlled approach to remote vehicle operations by dynamically setting a permitted range based on the vehicle's movement and restricting operations outside this range. Existing systems may not have this level of dynamic control and security.


Original Abstract Submitted

there is provided with a control apparatus. a first obtaining unit obtains position information of a vehicle. a setting unit sets a remote operation permitted range of the vehicle on a basis of movement information of the vehicle in a first predetermined period based on the position information. a second obtaining unit obtains information indicating that a specific operation for a remote operation input to the vehicle from a user terminal is performed. a controlling unit restricts the remote operation input from the user terminal to the vehicle in a case where a position of the vehicle at a time of obtaining the information is outside the remote operation permitted range. the movement information includes the position information of the vehicle and a visit situation to the position in the first predetermined period.
