INFORMATION PROVISION APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346924 titled 'INFORMATION PROVISION APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system that uses signal information and video data to predict the formation of vehicle queues near parking lot entrances, guiding vehicles to the optimal entrance.
- Signal information acquisition means gathers data about a traffic light on a road.
- Video acquisition means captures video footage near a parking lot entrance.
- Prediction means forecasts the likelihood of vehicle queues forming based on the video and signal data.
- Selection means chooses the best parking lot entrance for vehicles based on the prediction.
- Notification means informs vehicles of the selected entrance.
Key Features and Innovation: - Integration of signal information and video data for predicting vehicle queues. - Automated selection of parking lot entrances based on prediction results. - Real-time notification system for guiding vehicles to the optimal entrance.
Potential Applications: - Traffic management systems - Parking guidance systems - Smart city infrastructure
Problems Solved: - Reducing congestion near parking lot entrances - Improving traffic flow efficiency - Enhancing overall parking experience for drivers
Benefits: - Minimized wait times for vehicles - Reduced traffic congestion - Enhanced parking lot utilization
Commercial Applications: Optimizing parking lot operations for shopping malls, airports, and other high-traffic areas to improve customer satisfaction and revenue generation.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on smart parking systems, traffic prediction algorithms, and video-based traffic monitoring solutions.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in traffic prediction algorithms, video analytics for traffic management, and smart parking technologies for potential improvements to the system.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between different types of vehicles in the queue? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy of the prediction algorithm?
Original Abstract Submitted
signal information acquisition means acquires signal information about a traffic light installed on a road. video acquisition means acquires a video photographed near a first parking lot entrance facing the road. prediction means predicts whether or not a queue of waiting vehicles will be formed near the first parking lot entrance based on the video near the first parking lot entrance and the signal information. selection means selects, from among a plurality of the parking lot entrances including the first parking lot entrance, a parking lot entrance to which a vehicle is to be guided based on a result of the prediction performed by the prediction means. notification means notifies the vehicle of the parking lot entrance selected by the selection means.
