CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118101 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The control apparatus described in the patent application is designed to select mobility services for a user based on various factors such as physical condition, schedule, weather, and day of the week. The controller acquires travel request information from the user's terminal apparatus, selects candidate services, conducts a route search, and transmits the results back to the user.

• Factors considered for selecting mobility services:

   - Physical condition information
   - Schedule information
   - Weather information for scheduled travel date and time
   - Day of the week information for the scheduled travel date

• Process:

   - Acquire travel request information
   - Select candidate services
   - Conduct route search
   - Transmit results to the user's terminal apparatus

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems that provide route planning based on user preferences, but the incorporation of physical condition, schedule, weather, and day of the week information for service selection may be a novel aspect of this technology.

How does the controller prioritize the different factors when selecting candidate services?

The patent application does not specify the weighting or prioritization of physical condition, schedule, weather, and day of the week information in the selection process.

What types of mobility services are included in the plurality of services available for selection?

The patent application does not provide details on the specific types of mobility services that are considered and selected for the user.

Original Abstract Submitted

a control apparatus includes a controller. the controller is configured to, upon acquiring travel request information indicating a travel request of a user from a terminal apparatus of the user, select at least one candidate service from among a plurality of mobility services based on at least one piece of information from among physical condition information on the user, schedule information on the user, weather information for a scheduled travel date and time, and day of week information for the scheduled travel date, acquire a result of a route search using the at least one candidate service, and transmit the result to the terminal apparatus.
