VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942375 titled 'VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle with a display that emits light to the ground surface. The vehicle also has a communicator that receives movement signals from an external terminal, and a controller that determines the vehicle's moving area based on these signals. The controller further identifies a danger area and a safety area within the moving area, and controls the display to emit light to these areas.

• The vehicle has a display that emits light to the ground surface.
• A communicator receives movement signals from an external terminal.
• A controller determines the vehicle's moving area based on the received movement signals.
• The controller identifies a danger area and a safety area within the moving area.
• The display is controlled to emit light to the danger area and the safety area.

Potential Applications

• Enhancing visibility and safety of the vehicle in low-light conditions.
• Signaling potential danger areas to pedestrians or other vehicles.
• Assisting with navigation and guiding the vehicle in complex environments.

Problems Solved

• Lack of visibility and safety in low-light conditions.
• Difficulty in signaling potential danger areas to others.
• Challenges in navigating and maneuvering in complex environments.

Benefits

• Improved visibility and safety for the vehicle and its surroundings.
• Enhanced communication of potential danger areas to pedestrians or other vehicles.
• Easier navigation and maneuvering in complex environments.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes a display configured to emit light to a ground surface, a communicator configured to receive a movement signal of the vehicle through communication with an external terminal, and a controller communicatively connected to the communicator and configured to determine a moving area of the vehicle based on the received movement signal of the vehicle, determine a danger area and a safety area included in the moving area, and control the display to emit light to the danger area and the safety area.
