DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109583 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The driving assistance device described in the abstract is designed to prompt a driver of a mobile object to avoid contact with an object detected by an object detection device. The device determines the steering direction for avoiding contact with the object and causes an actuator to output force to the steering operator to execute the steering maneuver.
- The device includes a storage medium for computer-readable instructions and a processor connected to the storage medium.
- The processor executes the instructions to prompt the driver to avoid contact with detected objects by steering in a specific direction.
- An actuator outputs force to the steering operator to assist in executing the steering maneuver.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles
- Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
- Collision avoidance systems
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Preventing collisions with objects in the path of a vehicle
- Assisting drivers in making quick and accurate steering decisions
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved safety on the road
- Reduced risk of accidents and collisions
- Enhanced driver assistance and control
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be utilized in:
- Automotive industry for vehicle safety features
- Transportation and logistics companies for fleet management
- Insurance companies for risk assessment and mitigation
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles
- Steering assist systems in autonomous vehicles
Unanswered Questions
How does the device determine the appropriate steering direction for avoiding contact with the object?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the method used by the device to determine the steering direction for avoiding contact with the detected object. This could involve algorithms based on object position, speed, and trajectory.
What type of objects can be detected by the object detection device?
The abstract does not specify the types of objects that can be detected by the object detection device. It would be important to understand the range and capabilities of the detection system in different driving scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
a driving assistance device includes a storage medium configured to store computer-readable instructions, and a processor that is connected to the storage medium, in which the processor executes the computer-readable instructions to determine to prompt a driver of a mobile object to avoid contact with an object detected by an object detection device whose detection range is at least on a traveling direction side of the mobile object according to steering, and a steering direction for avoiding contact with the object, and when it is determined to prompt the driver of the mobile object to avoid contact with the object according to steering, cause an actuator capable of outputting force to a steering operator to execute outputting, first, a force to reach a first target force in the same direction as the steering direction in a first period to maintain the state, and causing, then, a force output in a second period longer than the first period to reach zero.
