SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17892061 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle control system described in this patent application aims to improve driver comfort by allowing remote control of door opening in situations where it is not possible to open the door remotely. Here are the key points:
- The system includes a portable terminal that sends a door open command to a vehicle.
- A vehicle control device in the vehicle updates the maximum value of the door opening amount and determines the current door opening amount based on surrounding environment information.
- The vehicle control device then transmits both the maximum value and the current door opening amount to a server.
- The server compares the current door opening amount with the maximum value and decides whether to allow remote vehicle departure based on this comparison.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Vehicle control systems in cars, trucks, and other vehicles.
- Fleet management systems for monitoring and controlling multiple vehicles remotely.
Problems solved by this technology:
- In situations where the door cannot be opened remotely, such as when the vehicle is parked in a tight space or in a crowded area, this system allows for remote control of the door opening.
- It eliminates the need for the driver to physically access the vehicle to open the door, providing convenience and comfort.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved driver comfort and convenience by enabling remote control of door opening.
- Enhanced safety by allowing the driver to assess the surrounding environment before opening the door remotely.
- Potential time and energy savings by eliminating the need for the driver to physically access the vehicle to open the door.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control system may include a portable terminal that transmits a door open command of a vehicle, a vehicle control device that updates a maximum value of a door opening amount of the vehicle, determines a current door opening amount based on surrounding environment information, and transmits the maximum value of the door opening amount and the current door opening amount, and a server that compares the current door opening amount with the maximum value of the door opening amount, and determines whether to perform a remote vehicle departure depending on the comparison result. The vehicle control system may improve driver comfort by controlling the door opening through a remote vehicle departure in a situation where the door cannot be opened remotely.
