LOG MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, LOG MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119765 titled 'LOG MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, LOG MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a log management apparatus for vehicles, which includes storing traveling log data and predicting memory capacity shortages based on the data size and remaining capacity.

• Acquiring remaining memory capacity at the current time
• Acquiring the vehicle's traveling plan
• Calculating predicted data size of future traveling log data
• Predicting memory capacity shortage based on data size and remaining capacity
• Increasing remaining capacity when shortage is predicted

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in the automotive industry for efficient management of vehicle data and memory capacity.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient management of memory capacity in vehicles 2. Predicting and preventing memory shortages in advance

Benefits

1. Improved data management for vehicles 2. Prevents data loss due to memory capacity shortages

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing memory usage in vehicles for improved performance and data storage capabilities.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems or methods for managing memory capacity in vehicles, but the specific approach of predicting shortages based on traveling log data may be unique to this patent application.

How does this technology impact vehicle performance?

This technology could potentially improve vehicle performance by ensuring that memory capacity is efficiently managed, preventing any slowdowns or data loss due to capacity shortages.

What are the potential cost savings for vehicle manufacturers implementing this technology?

By efficiently managing memory capacity and preventing shortages, vehicle manufacturers could save costs associated with data loss, maintenance, and potential system failures.

Original Abstract Submitted

a log management apparatus according to the present disclosure comprises a memory storing traveling log data of a vehicle and one or more processors. the one or more processors are configured to execute the following first to five processes. the first process is acquiring a remaining capacity of the memory at a current time. the second process is acquiring a traveling plan of the vehicle. the third process is calculating a predicted data size which is a size of the traveling log data predicted to be stored in the future in the traveling plan. the fourth process is predicting a capacity shortage of the memory in the traveling plan based on the predicted data size and the remaining capacity at the current time. the fifth process is a process of increasing the remaining capacity when the capacity shortage of the memory is predicted.
