SERVER, VEHICLE DETECTION SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE DETECTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096101 titled 'SERVER, VEHICLE DETECTION SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE DETECTION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a server with a control unit that determines whether a parked vehicle is being used as a shelter based on an image captured by a camera.

  • The control unit in the server analyzes the first image obtained by imaging the vehicle and its surroundings.
  • The determination of whether the vehicle is being used as a shelter is based on the analysis of the first image.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in parking lots, public spaces, and security systems to monitor and detect unauthorized use of vehicles as shelters.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in identifying if a parked vehicle is being used as a shelter, which can be crucial for security and safety purposes in various environments.

Benefits

- Enhanced security measures - Improved monitoring of parked vehicles - Potential for quick response to unauthorized activities

Potential Commercial Applications

"Vehicle Shelter Detection Technology for Enhanced Security Systems"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing technologies or systems that use image analysis for monitoring parked vehicles, but specific prior art related to determining vehicle use as a shelter would need to be researched further.

Unanswered Questions

How does the control unit differentiate between a vehicle being used as a shelter and other activities around the vehicle?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or algorithms used by the control unit to make this determination.

What are the potential privacy implications of using this technology in public spaces?

The abstract does not address any privacy concerns that may arise from monitoring and analyzing images of parked vehicles in public areas.


Original Abstract Submitted

a server includes a control unit. the control unit determines whether a parked vehicle is used as a shelter based on a first image which is included in an image captured by a camera and which is obtained by imaging the vehicle and surroundings of the vehicle.
