VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18582955 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
The processor, under circumstances where both the first and second conditions that decelerate the own vehicle are met, and deceleration control triggered by the establishment of the first condition is being preferentially executed, controls the image display. This happens when the first target involved in the establishment of the first condition is located outside a specific area extending forward from the own vehicle, which is a part of the detection area of the forward sensor and set as an area visible to the driver. Simultaneously, if the second target involved in the establishment of the second condition is located inside this specific area, the processor displays the second information about the second target on the image display device and does not display the first information about the first target.
- The processor controls the image display based on the location of targets in relation to the own vehicle.
- Deceleration control is preferentially executed when the first condition is met.
- The first target must be located outside a specific area visible to the driver for the first information not to be displayed.
- The second target must be located inside this specific area for the second information to be displayed.
- The system enhances driver awareness by selectively displaying information about targets based on their location.
Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Automotive safety technology - Traffic management systems
Problems Solved: - Improving driver awareness of surrounding targets - Enhancing safety measures in vehicles - Optimizing information display for better decision-making
Benefits: - Increased driver safety - Enhanced situational awareness - Improved response to potential hazards
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for Enhanced Safety This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to integrate advanced safety features into vehicles, appealing to safety-conscious consumers and potentially reducing accidents on the road.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve driver awareness compared to traditional systems? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
The processor, under circumstances where both the first and second conditions that decelerate the own vehicle are met, and deceleration control triggered by the establishment of the first condition is being preferentially executed, controls the image display. This happens when the first target involved in the establishment of the first condition is located outside a specific area extending forward from the own vehicle, which is a part of the detection area of the forward sensor and set as an area visible to the driver. Simultaneously, if the second target involved in the establishment of the second condition is located inside this specific area, the processor displays the second information about the second target on the image display device and does not display the first information about the first target.
