INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18246037 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for collecting data about the travel environment of a moving vehicle, such as an automated driving vehicle. The system includes a data collection unit, a driving assistance processing unit, and a determination unit.
- The data collection unit collects observation information about the travel environment of the vehicle.
- The driving assistance processing unit uses the data collected by the data collection unit to generate control information and perform driving control.
- The determination unit compares the observation information with external information acquired from an external device via a communication unit and determines a matching degree between them.
If the determination unit determines that the matching degree between the observation information and the external information is low, the driving assistance processing unit takes certain actions.
- The driving assistance processing unit outputs a downward shift control request of the automated driving level or a shift request to manual driving.
- The system executes downward shift control processing of the automated driving level or shift processing to manual driving based on the user's selection.
Overall, the system aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of driving control by comparing observation information with external information and taking appropriate actions when there is a low matching degree.
Original Abstract Submitted
A data collection unit that acquires observation information of a travel environment of a moving apparatus such as an automated driving vehicle, a driving assistance processing unit that generates control information based on data collected by the data collection unit and performs driving control, and a determination unit that compares the observation information acquired by the data collection unit with external information acquired from an external device via a communication unit and determines a matching degree. In a case where the determination unit determines that a matching degree between the observation information and the external information is low, the driving assistance processing unit outputs a downward shift control request of an automated driving level or a shift request to manual driving, and executes downward shift control processing of the automated driving level or shift processing to the manual driving on the basis of selection of the user.
