Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958919 titled 'Vehicle

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an embodiment vehicle that has an emergency light, detectors, a communication device, and a processor. The vehicle's processor is programmed to determine if the vehicle is in a normal state based on the detectors' information when the emergency light is turned on. If the vehicle is in a normal state, the processor determines the cause of the emergency light being turned on based on current location information received by the communication device. The processor then controls the communication device to transmit guide information related to the cause of the emergency light to an external device.

• The embodiment vehicle has an emergency light, detectors, a communication device, and a processor.
• The processor determines if the vehicle is in a normal state based on the detectors' information when the emergency light is turned on.
• If the vehicle is in a normal state, the processor determines the cause of the emergency light being turned on based on current location information received by the communication device.
• The processor controls the communication device to transmit guide information related to the cause of the emergency light to an external device.

Potential Applications

• Emergency response vehicles can use this technology to provide real-time information about the cause of their emergency lights being turned on to external devices such as dispatch centers or other emergency responders.
• Towing or roadside assistance vehicles can use this technology to transmit information about the cause of their emergency lights being turned on to a central system, allowing for more efficient coordination and response.
• Delivery or transportation vehicles can use this technology to communicate the cause of their emergency lights being turned on to a central system, enabling better tracking and management of their operations.

Problems Solved

• This technology solves the problem of limited information available to external devices when an emergency light is turned on in a vehicle.
• It addresses the challenge of determining the cause of an emergency light being turned on in a vehicle, especially in situations where the vehicle appears to be in a normal state.
• It provides a solution for transmitting relevant information about the cause of an emergency light being turned on to external devices, allowing for better coordination and response.

Benefits

• Improved situational awareness: External devices can receive real-time information about the cause of an emergency light being turned on, enabling better decision-making and response.
• Enhanced coordination: Central systems or dispatch centers can receive guide information related to the cause of an emergency light, allowing for more efficient coordination of resources.
• Increased efficiency: By transmitting relevant information, this technology enables faster and more accurate response, reducing response times and improving overall operational efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment vehicle includes an emergency light, a plurality of detectors, a communication device, and a processor configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a normal state based on detection information of the plurality of detectors when the emergency light is in a turned-on state, determine a turning-on cause of the emergency light based on current location information received by the communication device when it is determined that the vehicle is in the normal state, and control the communication device to transmit guide information corresponding to the determined turning-on cause of the emergency light to an external device.
