DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190454 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The driving support device described in the patent application includes a support controller, a storage device for storing prerequisite controls, and a system controller. The support controller acquires information about prerequisite controls and the system state, determines if the system state is enabled for each prerequisite control, requests driver approval to change the system state if needed, and then starts the driving support control.

  • The driving support device has a support controller, storage device, and system controller.
  • The support controller acquires information about prerequisite controls and the system state.
  • It determines if the system state is enabled for each prerequisite control.
  • If needed, it requests driver approval to change the system state.
  • Once approval is obtained, it changes the system state and starts the driving support control.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various driving support systems, such as lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance systems.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

the driving support device includes; a support controller; a storage device configured to store a definition of at least one prerequisite control; and a system controller configured to perform the at least one prerequisite control, wherein the support controller includes; acquiring information of a prerequisite control and a system state corresponding to the driving support control in response to an operation of a driver of a vehicle for starting the driving support control; determining whether the system state is enabled or disabled for each prerequisite control corresponding to the driving support control; requesting the driver to approve a change of the system state for the prerequisite control related to the system state determined not to match; and in response to obtaining approval from the driver, changing a system state of the prerequisite control related to the system state determined not to match and starting the driving support control.
