TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA patent applications published on May 11th, 2023

Summary of the patent applications from TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA on May 11th, 2023

Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha has recently filed several patents related to various aspects of autonomous driving, vehicle control, power storage devices, and sensor technology. These patents aim to improve the efficiency, safety, and comfort of vehicles, as well as enhance the performance and reliability of autonomous driving systems.

In one patent application, Toyota focuses on the interaction between the autonomous driving system and the air conditioner control system in a specific section of the road. The invention aims to ensure uninterrupted operation of the air conditioner when the driving mode switches from autonomous to manual, preventing potential discomfort or health issues caused by sudden changes in temperature.

Another patent application describes a vehicle travel control device that ensures a vehicle follows a target trajectory during automated driving and travel assist control. The device gives more importance to the first target trajectory, even if a second target trajectory is generated during automated driving or when a priority condition is met. This technology improves accuracy and precision in vehicle travel control, enhancing safety and reliability in autonomous driving.

Toyota has also filed a patent for a parking assist system that uses wireless communication to register and display the external appearance image of a power transmission unit of a wireless power supply device on a parking space image. This technology provides visual guidance for accurate positioning of the power transmission unit during parking, improving accuracy and ease of parking while enhancing safety.

Another patent application describes a configuration for a Vehicle Platform (VP) that allows for the installation of an Autonomous Driving System (ADS). The configuration includes a Vehicle Controller Interface Box (VCIB) that serves as a communication interface between the base vehicle and the ADS. This technology addresses the challenge of integrating an ADS into a VP, improving communication efficiency and overall performance in autonomous driving systems.

Toyota has also filed patents related to evaluating electric power storage devices, controlling driving force during the transition between manual and automated driving modes, and incorporating force sensors into sensor devices and robots.

Notable Applications:

• Autonomous vehicles with air conditioning systems.
• Road sections where autonomous driving is switched to manual driving.
• Advanced driver assistance systems.
• Vehicle navigation systems.
• Parking assist systems in vehicles.
• Wireless power supply devices with parking assist capabilities.
• Integration of an Autonomous Driving System (ADS) into a Vehicle Platform (VP).
• Electric vehicles.
• Portable electronics.
• Renewable energy storage.
• Robotic applications that require precise sensing of contact with objects.
• Medical devices that need to detect and measure forces applied to specific areas.
• Industrial automation where force sensing is necessary for safety and control.
