VEHICLE REMOTE OPERATION APPARATUS, VEHICLE REMOTE OPERATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240329647 titled 'VEHICLE REMOTE OPERATION APPARATUS, VEHICLE REMOTE OPERATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
The vehicle remote operation apparatus described in the patent application includes a location acquisition unit, a remote operation unit, and a transmission unit.
- The location acquisition unit gathers location information that indicates the vehicle's whereabouts.
- The remote operation unit responds to remote operation requests from a user terminal linked to the vehicle by executing the requested operation.
- The transmission unit, upon acquiring location information of a first vehicle, sends information related to an operation of a second vehicle that was performed in response to a remote operation request from a user terminal associated with the second vehicle within a predetermined range, including the location of the first vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Fleet management systems - Vehicle tracking and control services - Remote vehicle diagnostics and maintenance
Problems Solved: - Enables remote operation of vehicles for various purposes - Facilitates communication between different vehicles within a specific range
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in managing vehicle operations - Enhanced safety and security measures for vehicle owners - Streamlined communication between vehicles and user terminals
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Fleet Management with Vehicle Remote Operation Technology" This technology can be utilized by companies with large vehicle fleets to optimize operations, improve maintenance processes, and enhance overall efficiency. It can also be integrated into existing telematics systems to provide real-time data and control capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the location acquisition unit determine the precise location of the vehicle? 2. What security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized remote operations on vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle remote operation apparatus comprises: a location acquisition unit which acquires location information indicating a location of a vehicle; a remote operation unit which, in response to a remote operation request from a user terminal associated with the vehicle, causes the vehicle to perform an operation requested by the remote operation request; and a transmission unit which, when the location acquisition unit acquires a location information of a first vehicle, transmits, to a user terminal associated with the first vehicle, information related to an operation of a second vehicle that has been performed in response to a remote operation request from a user terminal associated with the second vehicle in a predetermined range including a location of the first vehicle.
