IMPACT ANALYSIS METHOD, FEATURE AMOUNT EXTRACTION METHOD, IMPACT ANALYSIS APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18022066 Titled 'IMPACT ANALYSIS METHOD, FEATURE AMOUNT EXTRACTION METHOD, IMPACT ANALYSIS APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a system that analyzes information from a sensor installed in a vehicle to determine the type of impact that has occurred. The system acquires an observed signal from the sensor, which is located at a specific position in the vehicle. The analysis unit then uses this signal to determine the type of impact that has occurred, such as a collision with an obstacle, driving over a curb, collision with a flying object, rubbing against an object, or being rubbed by an object. The output unit then provides the time and type of impact as a result of the analysis.


Original Abstract Submitted

Information regarding an impact occurring in a vehicle is analyzed from an observed signal by a sensor installed in the vehicle. An acquisition unit () acquires an observed signal by a sensor (S) installed at a predetermined position of the vehicle. The analysis unit () analyzes the type of impact at each time from the observed signal with respect to the impact occurring on the vehicle at a position different from the position at which the sensor (S) is installed in the vehicle. The type of impact includes at least one type of impact among impact from collision of an obstacle with the vehicle, impact from the vehicle driving over a curb, impact from collision of a flying object with the vehicle, impact from the vehicle rubbing against an object other than the vehicle, and impact from an object other than the vehicle rubbing against the vehicle. An output unit () outputs a result obtained by analyzing a time at which the impact occurs and the type of impact.
