DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109552 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The driving assistance device described in the patent application includes a recognizer to identify the surrounding situation of a vehicle, a decider to determine whether to prompt the driver to accelerate or decelerate based on the situation, and a notification controller to emit a notification sound to alert the driver of the decision.

  • The device recognizes the surrounding situation of a mobile object.
  • It decides whether the driver should accelerate or decelerate based on the situation.
  • The notification controller triggers a speaker to emit a notification sound to prompt the driver accordingly.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and smart transportation systems.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances driver safety by providing real-time prompts based on the surrounding situation. 2. Improves traffic flow by optimizing acceleration and deceleration actions.

Benefits

1. Increased driver awareness and responsiveness. 2. Potential reduction in accidents and traffic congestion.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Smart Driving Assistance Technology for Safer Roads"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing systems that provide driving assistance based on surrounding conditions, but the specific method of using continuously changing notification sounds for prompting drivers may be unique to this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device differentiate between acceleration and deceleration prompts?

The device likely uses algorithms and sensors to analyze the surrounding situation and determine the appropriate action for the driver.

What is the range of notification sounds that can be emitted by the speaker?

The patent application mentions continuously changing the structure of the sound, but the specifics of this range are not provided.


Original Abstract Submitted

according to an embodiment, a driving assistance device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a mobile object, a decider configured to decide whether or not to prompt a driver of the mobile object to perform acceleration or deceleration on the basis of the surrounding situation, and a notification controller configured to cause a speaker to output a notification sound for prompting the driver of the mobile object to perform the acceleration or deceleration on the basis of a decision result. the notification sound is a notification sound obtained by continuously changing a structure of a sound.
