DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109535 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The driving support apparatus described in the patent application is designed to detect objects and prevent collisions during driving. The controller in the apparatus can override collision control under certain conditions, such as during an erroneous operation. It can identify acceleration operations as erroneous in specific conditions and determine relaxation conditions based on the number of collision control executions or acceleration operation determinations in a trip.

  • The driving support apparatus includes a sensor for object detection and a controller for collision control.
  • The controller can override collision control during an erroneous operation.
  • Acceleration operations can be identified as erroneous under predetermined conditions.
  • Relaxation conditions are determined based on the number of collision control executions or acceleration operation determinations in a trip.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems.

Problems Solved

The technology helps prevent collisions and improve driving safety by detecting objects and executing collision control when necessary.

Benefits

The driving support apparatus enhances road safety, reduces the risk of accidents, and provides drivers with additional assistance during their trips.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, technology companies developing autonomous vehicles, and companies specializing in driver assistance systems.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include patents related to collision avoidance systems, object detection sensors, and autonomous driving technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does the driving support apparatus differentiate between normal and erroneous operations during driving?

The driving support apparatus uses predetermined conditions to determine if an operation is erroneous, such as acceleration operations under specific circumstances.

What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the collision control system in the driving support apparatus?

The driving support apparatus utilizes sensors for object detection and a controller for collision control, which work together to detect objects and prevent collisions effectively.


Original Abstract Submitted

a driving support apparatus comprises a sensor for detecting an object, and a controller for prohibiting a collision control when an override condition is satisfied. the controller executes the collision control in a case where the override condition is satisfied during an erroneous operation, determines that an acceleration operation is the erroneous operation in a case where a predetermined normal erroneous operation condition is satisfied, or in a case where a predetermined relaxation erroneous operation condition is satisfied when a predetermined relaxation condition is satisfied, and determines that the relaxation condition is satisfied when a number of executions of the collision control during the erroneous operation in one trip is greater than or equal to a first threshold number or when a number of determinations that the acceleration operation is the erroneous operation in one trip is greater than or equal to a second threshold number.
