DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18672928 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a driving assistance device that uses a processor and memory to detect a latent recognition region in a captured image from an external camera on a mobile body. The device then presents driving assistance information on a display device based on this detected region.

  • The driving assistance device includes a processor connected to a memory.
  • The processor detects a latent recognition region in a captured image from an external camera on a mobile body.
  • The captured image is of the traveling direction of the mobile body.
  • The latent recognition region is unconsciously recognized by a human in the entire imaging region of the captured image.
  • The processor presents driving assistance information on a display device based on the detected latent recognition region.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in advanced driver assistance systems to improve road safety. - It can also be integrated into autonomous vehicles for enhanced navigation capabilities.

Problems Solved: - Helps drivers by providing relevant driving assistance information based on unconscious recognition of specific regions in captured images. - Enhances overall driving experience and safety on the road.

Benefits: - Improved road safety through targeted driving assistance information. - Enhanced navigation and guidance for drivers. - Increased efficiency and convenience in driving.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driving Assistance System for Enhanced Safety and Navigation This technology can be utilized by automotive companies to develop advanced driver assistance systems for vehicles. It can also be integrated into autonomous vehicles to enhance their navigation capabilities, making them safer and more efficient on the road.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device detect the latent recognition region in the captured image?

  - The device detects the latent recognition region based on a predetermined feature value included in the captured image.
  

2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in autonomous vehicles?

  - The technology can significantly improve the navigation capabilities of autonomous vehicles, making them safer and more reliable on the road.


Original Abstract Submitted

A driving assistance device includes a processor connected to a memory. The processor detects a latent recognition region that is unconsciously recognized by a human in an entire imaging region of a captured image. The captured image is captured by an external camera that is provided in a mobile body. The captured image is an image of at least a traveling direction in which the mobile body travels. The latent recognition region is detected based on a predetermined feature value included in the captured image. The processor presents predetermined driving assistance information in a region on a display device. The region is estimated in accordance with the detected latent recognition region.
