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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109554 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a control device that performs different processes based on the proximity of a risky object to a mobile object. It proposes driving operations to avoid the risky object to the driver, unless the driver has already taken action to reduce the risk.

  • The control device performs different processes based on the proximity of a risky object to a mobile object.
  • It proposes driving operations to avoid the risky object to the driver, unless the driver has already taken action to reduce the risk.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and other mobile objects to enhance safety and avoid collisions with risky objects.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in preventing accidents and collisions by providing timely warnings and proposing driving operations to avoid risky objects.

Benefits

The technology improves safety for mobile objects by alerting drivers and proposing actions to avoid risky objects, ultimately reducing the risk of accidents.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into autonomous vehicles, drones, and other mobile objects to enhance safety features and prevent accidents.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be collision avoidance systems in autonomous vehicles, which also aim to prevent accidents by detecting and avoiding obstacles in the vehicle's path.

Unanswered Questions

How does the control device determine the index value indicating the degree of closeness to a risky object?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific method or technology used by the control device to calculate the index value.

What types of risky objects are considered by the control device?

The abstract does not specify the characteristics or types of risky objects that the control device is designed to detect and avoid.


Original Abstract Submitted

a control device is configured to perform: performing a first process when an index value indicating a degree of closeness to a risky object which is present in front of a mobile object is less than a first threshold value; performing a second process when the index value is equal to or greater than the first threshold value and less than a second threshold value greater than the first threshold value; and performing a third process and the second process when the index value is equal to or greater than the second threshold value. the third process includes a fourth process of proposing a driving operation for avoiding the risky object to a driver. the fourth process is not performed when the driver has performed an action for reducing or releasing an operation of an operator instructing an accelerating operation for accelerating the mobile object.
