CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326853 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a control device for a vehicle that allows a user to execute specific vehicle control functions based on their authority. The device acquires instructions from the user using two different operation units, one temporarily presented and one permanently presented, to ensure the user has the necessary authority before carrying out the instructions.
- The control device for a vehicle executes specific vehicle control functions based on user authority.
- Instructions are acquired from the user using two operation units - one temporarily presented and one permanently presented.
- The device displays the operation units differently based on user authority to prevent unauthorized instructions.
- Notifications are provided to the user if they attempt to give instructions without the required authority.
