INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101068 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a controller that identifies a first user of a vehicle from a group of users and transmits parking information to the first user's terminal while withholding it from other users in the group.

  • The controller is configured to identify the first user of a vehicle among multiple users.
  • It transmits parking information to the first user's terminal when the vehicle is parked.
  • The parking information is not sent to terminals of other users in the group.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in parking management systems, car sharing services, and vehicle tracking solutions.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive parking information and ensures that only the designated user receives relevant updates.

Benefits

- Enhanced security and privacy for vehicle owners - Efficient communication of parking details to the right user - Improved user experience and convenience in vehicle usage

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Vehicle Parking Information Transmission System for User Privacy Protection"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems that transmit vehicle location information to users, but the specific feature of selectively sending this information to a designated user while excluding others may be novel.
