MOTION MANAGER, CONTROL DEVICE OF BRAKE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101086 titled 'MOTION MANAGER, CONTROL DEVICE OF BRAKE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a motion manager mounted on a vehicle that receives motion requests from individual applications, arbitrates these requests, and generates operation requests to be output to a brake control unit based on the arbitration result. The processor uses stored type information of an actuator to generate the operation request.

  • Motion manager on a vehicle with a processor and memory
  • Receives motion requests from individual applications
  • Arbitrates the received motion requests
  • Generates operation requests for a brake control unit based on arbitration result
  • Uses stored type information of an actuator to generate operation requests

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and controlling motion requests from various applications in a vehicle or similar system.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved coordination of motion control tasks, optimized use of vehicle resources, and enhanced safety through precise control of actuators.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in the automotive industry, manufacturing plants, and logistics companies for efficient and reliable motion control systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing motion control systems in vehicles or industrial automation that do not have the advanced arbitration and type information features described in the patent application.

What are the specific types of actuators controlled by the brake control unit in this system?

The specific types of actuators controlled by the brake control unit in this system are not explicitly mentioned in the abstract. However, based on the description of the technology, it can be inferred that the actuators could include brakes, throttle control, steering mechanisms, or other components related to vehicle motion control.

How does the processor arbitrate between multiple motion requests from individual applications?

The abstract mentions that the processor arbitrates the received motion requests, but it does not provide details on the specific arbitration process. It would be interesting to know the criteria or algorithms used by the processor to prioritize and select motion requests for further processing and output to the brake control unit.


Original Abstract Submitted

a motion manager that is mounted on a vehicle includes a processor and a memory. the processor receives a motion request that corresponds to an application from individual applications. the processor arbitrates the received motion request. the processor generates, based on an arbitration result, an instruction value of an operation request to be output to a brake control unit. the memory stores, in advance, type information of an actuator to be controlled by the brake control unit. the processor generates the instruction value of the operation request using the type information.
