==APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH OPERATING SWITCH LINKED TO TOUCH PANEL OF DIGITAL SIDE MIRROR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18218406 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH OPERATING SWITCH LINKED TO TOUCH PANEL OF DIGITAL SIDE MIRROR SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an apparatus for controlling a vehicle, specifically focusing on deactivating a touch mode of a touch panel in the digital side mirror system when the vehicle is in a driving state, and controlling the vehicle's functions through an operating switch.

* First determination unit to determine if the vehicle is in a driving state
* First controller to deactivate touch mode of the touch panel in the digital side mirror system when the vehicle is in a driving state
* Second determination unit to determine if the vehicle is in a switch mode for controlling functions through the operating switch
* Second controller to control the driver to perform a function selected from a menu through the operating switch when the vehicle is in the switch mode

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for improving safety and convenience features in vehicles.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Ensuring driver focus and attention while the vehicle is in motion by deactivating touch controls.
2. Streamlining control of vehicle functions through a centralized operating switch.

== Benefits ==
1. Enhanced safety for drivers and passengers.
2. Simplified and intuitive control interface for vehicle functions.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Enhancing the features of digital side mirror systems in modern vehicles for improved user experience and safety.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Similar technologies may exist in the automotive industry for controlling vehicle functions based on the vehicle's state, but the specific implementation described in this patent application may be novel.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

== How does this technology impact driver distraction levels? ==
The article does not delve into specific studies or data on how this technology affects driver distraction levels.

== What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world driving scenarios? ==
The article does not address any potential limitations or challenges that may arise when implementing this technology in actual driving situations.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a processor; a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the processor; and the one or more programs include instructions for: a first determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state; a first controller configured to deactivate a touch mode of the touch panel provided in the digital side mirror system when the vehicle is determined to be in the driving state; a second determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a switch mode for controlling the function of the vehicle through the operating switch; and a second controller configured to control a driver to perform a function from a menu selected through the operating switch when the vehicle is determined to be in the switch mode.
