INFORMATION COLLECTION CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446207 titled 'INFORMATION COLLECTION CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information collection control device for autonomous vehicles that collects information about objects in the vehicle's surroundings.
- The device uses a sensor to detect objects and an identification unit to analyze the detection information and identify different types of objects.
- For each identified object, the device acquires its location and occupied area.
- A time-interval setting unit determines how often the device acquires the location and occupied area of the objects.
- A score calculation unit calculates the size of the overlap between the occupied areas of the same object acquired before and after the set time interval.
- Based on the calculated overlap size, a priority determination unit determines the priority for transmitting the information to the driving assistance control device.
Original Abstract Submitted
In an information collection control device for a vehicle capable of autonomous driving, configured to collect information about objects when the vehicle, during autonomous driving, receives driving assistance from a driving assistance control device, an identification unit analyses detection information detected by a sensor that monitors surroundings of the vehicle to identify a plurality of types of objects. An acquisition unit acquires, for each object identified by the identification unit, a location and an occupied area of the object. A time-interval setting unit sets a time interval for the acquisition unit acquiring the location and the occupied area. A score calculation unit calculates a size of an area of overlap between the occupied areas of the same object acquired before and after the set time interval. A priority determination unit determines a priority for transmission to the driving assistance control device based on the calculated size of the area of overlap.
