VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123966 titled 'VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle system that can determine an electric power mode based on various inputs to ensure safe operation, particularly in emergency situations.

  • Input unit for receiving commands
  • First sensor for detecting brake signals
  • Second sensor for detecting motor output
  • Driving controller for motor control
  • Main controller for determining power mode
  • Emergency mode activated when brake signal is detected while motor is accelerating

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as electric cars, autonomous vehicles, and drones, to enhance safety and efficiency during operation.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures safe operation of the vehicle in emergency situations 2. Prevents accidents by automatically adjusting power mode based on sensor inputs

Benefits

1. Improved safety for passengers and pedestrians 2. Enhanced control and efficiency of the vehicle 3. Reduced risk of accidents and damage to the vehicle

Potential Commercial Applications

"Emergency Power Mode Determination System for Vehicles" can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, technology companies, and transportation services to enhance the safety features of their products and services.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems in the automotive industry that use sensors to detect brake signals and motor output to adjust power modes, but the specific combination of features described in this patent application may be unique.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between normal braking and emergency braking?

The system may use algorithms to analyze the rate of change in brake signal input and motor output to determine if the situation requires activation of the emergency power mode.

What happens if there is a malfunction in one of the sensors?

If one of the sensors malfunctions, the system may default to a safe mode or alert the driver to take manual control of the vehicle to prevent any potential safety hazards.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle includes an input unit, a first sensor provided to detect an input of a brake signal, a second sensor provided to detect an output of a driving motor, a driving controller provided to control the driving motor, and a main controller electrically connected to the input unit, the first sensor, the second sensor and the driving controller and configured to determine an electric power mode based on the input of the brake signal detected by the first sensor and the output of the driving motor detected by the second sensor when an input related to power off of the vehicle is received through the input unit while the vehicle is driving, wherein the main controller is configured to determine the electric power mode as an emergency mode when it is determined that the driving motor is accelerating while the input of the brake signal is being received.
