VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18420304 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle control system that allows a vehicle to operate in an operation waiting state based on the positioning of communication devices within specific areas of the vehicle.
- Vehicle control system with operation waiting state:
* Includes a vehicle with an operation device, a first communication device, and a second communication device. * When the first communication device is in a first area containing the vehicle's position, the vehicle operates in an operation waiting state. * If the second communication device is in a smaller second area within the first area, the vehicle remains in the operation waiting state. * When both communication devices are in their respective areas, the second communication device generates a notification indicating the vehicle is in the operation waiting state.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, fleet management systems, and smart transportation networks.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient vehicle control system operation. 2. Enhanced communication between vehicle components.
Benefits
1. Improved safety and efficiency in vehicle operations. 2. Enhanced user experience with seamless communication.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing vehicle fleet operations for transportation companies.
Possible Prior Art
There are existing vehicle control systems that use communication devices to coordinate vehicle operations, but the specific configuration described in this patent application may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system handle communication device malfunctions? 2. What are the potential cybersecurity risks associated with this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle including an operation device; a first communication device; and a second communication device. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a first area containing a position of the vehicle, the vehicle operates in an operation waiting state in which the operation device is allowed to receive an operation. In a case in which the second communication device is positioned in a second area contained in the first area and smaller than the first area, the vehicle operates in the operation waiting state. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in the first area and the second communication device is positioned in the second area, the second communication device generates a notification indicating that the vehicle is in the operation waiting state.
