SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE LONGITUDINAL POSITION OF A VEHICLE WITH RESPECT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE TO INCREASE PRIVACY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100087 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE LONGITUDINAL POSITION OF A VEHICLE WITH RESPECT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE TO INCREASE PRIVACY

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and methods to enhance the privacy of occupants in vehicles by adjusting the longitudinal position of the vehicles to prevent overlapping viewing areas.

  • The system includes a processor and memory with a privacy module that determines the viewing areas of two vehicles.
  • When the viewing areas of the vehicles overlap, a control signal is sent to adjust the longitudinal position of the vehicles.
  • This adjustment ensures that the occupants' privacy is maintained by preventing overlapping viewing areas.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Privacy module with instructions to determine vehicle viewing areas.
  • Control signal sent to adjust vehicle positions when viewing areas overlap.
  • Focus on maintaining occupants' privacy in vehicles.

Potential Applications:

  • Automotive industry for enhancing passenger privacy.
  • Transportation services for ensuring customer confidentiality.
  • Security applications for surveillance and privacy protection.

Problems Solved:

  • Addressing privacy concerns for occupants in vehicles.
  • Preventing overlapping viewing areas to maintain privacy.
  • Enhancing security and confidentiality in transportation.

Benefits:

  • Improved privacy for vehicle occupants.
  • Enhanced security measures for surveillance.
  • Increased customer satisfaction in transportation services.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Privacy System for Vehicles This technology can be utilized in:

  • Automotive industry for privacy-focused vehicle designs.
  • Transportation services for customer privacy and satisfaction.
  • Security companies for surveillance and privacy protection solutions.

Questions about Enhanced Privacy System for Vehicles 1. How does the system determine the viewing areas of vehicles? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the automotive industry?

1. A relevant generic question not answered by the article, with a detailed answer: How does the system ensure that the privacy of occupants is maintained when the viewing areas of vehicles overlap? The system sends a control signal to adjust the longitudinal position of the vehicles, preventing the overlap and maintaining privacy.

2. Another relevant generic question, with a detailed answer: What are the key benefits of enhancing privacy in vehicles? By increasing privacy, occupants feel more secure and comfortable, leading to improved customer satisfaction and loyalty.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for increasing the privacy of occupants of a vehicle are disclosed. In one example, a system includes a processor and a memory that has a privacy module with instructions. The instructions cause the processor to determine a first vehicle viewing area of a first vehicle and a second vehicle viewing area of a second vehicle. In response to determining when the first vehicle viewing area at least partially overlaps the second vehicle viewing area, the instructions cause the processor to send a control signal to control a longitudinal position of the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle such that the first vehicle viewing area does not overlap the second vehicle viewing area.
