IN-VEHICLE DEVICE, METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, DRIVING ASSISTANCE SERVER, AND DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18575886 titled 'IN-VEHICLE DEVICE, METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, DRIVING ASSISTANCE SERVER, AND DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD
The abstract describes an in-vehicle device that utilizes wireless communication to receive driving support information from an external server. The device includes an operation determination unit that decides whether the device can act as a substitute for the external server and a support information transmission device that transmits usable driving support information to other in-vehicle devices when the determination is positive.
- Wireless communication device for receiving driving support information
- Driving support device for providing driving support based on received information
- Operation determination unit to decide if the device can act as a substitute for an external server
- Support information transmission device for sharing driving support information with other in-vehicle devices
- Utilizes wireless communication technology for data exchange
Potential Applications: - Enhancing driving safety by providing real-time driving support information - Improving overall driving experience by sharing relevant data with other in-vehicle devices
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of receiving and sharing driving support information - Reducing reliance on external servers for driving support data
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in accessing driving support information - Enhanced collaboration between in-vehicle devices for improved driving experience
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced In-Vehicle Driving Support System" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for developing advanced driving support systems that enhance safety and convenience for drivers. It can also be integrated into smart vehicles to improve communication and data sharing capabilities.
Questions about In-Vehicle Driving Support System: 1. How does this technology improve driving safety?

Original Abstract Submitted
An in-vehicle device includes: a wireless communication device; a driving support device for performing driving support for a vehicle by using driving support information received from an external server through the wireless communication device; an operation determination unit configured to, in response to having received a distribution request for driving support information from another in-vehicle device, perform determination as to whether or not the in-vehicle device is to operate as a substitute for the external server; and a support information transmission device configured to, when the determination by the operation determination unit is positive, transmit driving support information of the vehicle usable by the in-vehicle device to the other in-vehicle device through the wireless communication device.
