DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240132074 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The driving support apparatus described in the patent application performs deceleration control of the vehicle by setting an actuation sensitivity, executing deceleration control based on the sensitivity, and detecting brake operations by the driver.

  • Sensitivity setting unit: Sets actuation sensitivity of deceleration control
  • Deceleration execution unit: Executes deceleration control based on actuation sensitivity
  • Brake operation detection unit: Detects brake operation by the driver
  • Actuation sensitivity adjustment: Changes sensitivity based on control execution count and driver operation count

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and vehicle safety systems.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances vehicle safety by optimizing deceleration control sensitivity. 2. Improves driver experience by adjusting sensitivity based on driving behavior.

Benefits

1. Increased safety on the road. 2. Enhanced driving comfort and control. 3. Potential reduction in accidents and collisions.

Potential Commercial Applications

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

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include patents related to vehicle deceleration control systems, driver assistance technologies, and brake operation detection systems.

What are the technical specifications of the sensitivity setting unit in the driving support apparatus?

The technical specifications of the sensitivity setting unit include the ability to adjust the actuation sensitivity based on the control execution count and driver operation count. The unit must be capable of dynamically changing the sensitivity to optimize deceleration control.

How does the deceleration execution unit ensure accurate and efficient deceleration control?

The deceleration execution unit ensures accurate and efficient deceleration control by executing the control based on the set actuation sensitivity. It must be able to respond quickly to changes in sensitivity and adapt to different driving conditions to provide smooth and safe deceleration.


Original Abstract Submitted

the driving support apparatus performs deceleration control of the vehicle. the driving support apparatus includes: a sensitivity setting unit configured to set an actuation sensitivity of a deceleration control; a deceleration execution unit configured to execute the deceleration control based on the actuation sensitivity; and a brake operation detection unit configured to detect a brake operation by a driver. the sensitivity setting unit changes the actuation sensitivity based on a control execution count which is the number of executions of the deceleration control and a driver operation count which is the number of operations of the brake operation.
