DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE, VEHICLE, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111515 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE, VEHICLE, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a driving support device for vehicles that includes a detection unit to determine the vehicle's current position, an acquisition unit to gather data for updating driving support functions, and a control unit to manage the update process based on the acquired data. The control unit can initiate updates while the vehicle's ignition is on if it determines that the update needs to be completed before the driving support function may be activated based on the current position of the vehicle.
- Detection unit to determine the vehicle's current position
- Acquisition unit to gather data for updating driving support functions
- Control unit to manage the update process based on acquired data
- Updates can be initiated with the vehicle's ignition on if needed before driving support function activation
