INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304045 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a system that acquires data from a target vehicle, including information on warning light activations and driver operations, to determine if the vehicle has been submerged based on these occurrences.

• Acquires data on warning light activations and driver operations in a target vehicle.
• Determines if the vehicle has been submerged based on the frequency of warning light activations.
• Provides insights into potential submergence of the target vehicle.

Key Features and Innovation:

• Acquisition unit gathers data on warning light activations and driver operations.
• Determination unit analyzes the data to determine if the vehicle has been submerged.
• Focuses on the number of warning light activations as an indicator of submergence.

Potential Applications:

• Vehicle safety systems.
• Flood detection in vehicles.
• Accident investigation.

Problems Solved:

• Early detection of vehicle submergence.
• Improved understanding of warning light activations.
• Enhanced driver safety.

Benefits:

• Increased vehicle safety.
• Timely response to submergence incidents.
• Accurate assessment of warning light activations.

Commercial Applications:

Potential commercial applications for this technology include:

• Automotive industry for vehicle safety systems.
• Insurance companies for accident investigation.
• Emergency response teams for flood detection.

Questions about the Technology:

1. How does the system differentiate between warning light activations due to submergence and other factors? 2. What are the potential limitations of using warning light activations as an indicator of vehicle submergence?

Original Abstract Submitted

an acquisition unit that acquires target vehicle data including information on the activation of warning light displays in a predetermined target vehicle and/or predetermined operations by the driver of the target vehicle; and the number of activations of warning light displays acquired by the acquisition unit and/or the predetermined operations. and a determination unit that determines whether the activation of the warning light display and/or the occurrence of the predetermined operation is due to submergence of the target vehicle based on the number of occurrences of the warning light display.
