CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101112 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control device for a vehicle that includes a travel control unit for speed control and a proposal unit for restarting the speed control function after it has been interrupted by a braking operation.
- The travel control unit automatically controls the speed of the vehicle.
- The proposal unit suggests restarting the speed control function when the driver stops the vehicle while the speed control function is interrupted.
- The driver can agree to the restart proposal by terminating the braking operation.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, cruise control systems, and advanced driver assistance systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of seamlessly restarting the speed control function after it has been interrupted by a braking operation.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved driver convenience, enhanced safety, and smoother operation of the vehicle.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include automotive manufacturers, technology companies developing autonomous vehicles, and companies specializing in driver assistance systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that automatically resume speed control after a braking operation, but the specific feature of proposing a restart to the driver may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the proposal unit communicate with the driver to suggest restarting the speed control function? 2. Are there any safety mechanisms in place to prevent the speed control function from restarting if the driver does not agree to the proposal?
Original Abstract Submitted
a control device for a vehicle includes a travel control unit configured to provide a speed control function for automatically controlling a speed and configured to interrupt an operation of the speed control function in response to a braking operation element of the vehicle being operated by a driver during the operation of the speed control function, and a proposal unit configured to provide a restart proposal to the driver to restart the operation of the speed control function when the driver stops the vehicle while the operation of the speed control function is interrupted. when the driver agrees with the restart proposal, the travel control unit restarts the operation of the speed control function and keeps the vehicle stopped by the speed control function. the agreement with the restart proposal is made by the driver terminating an operation of the braking operation element.
