INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18203786 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processor that helps identify the position of a vehicle on a traveling lane and an oncoming lane at an intersection. It includes various units to acquire information, calculate vehicle position, determine the section location, and extract driving characteristic parameters.

  • The first information acquisition unit acquires section position information for identifying the position of a vehicle on a traveling lane and an oncoming lane at an intersection.
  • The second information acquisition unit stores the history of driving characteristic parameters when traveling through the intersection.
  • The driver's vehicle position calculation unit calculates the driver's vehicle position information when traveling through the intersection.
  • The section determination unit determines whether the driver's vehicle position is located on the first section or the second section.
  • The extraction unit extracts a specific driving characteristic parameter corresponding to the determined section from the history information.

Potential Applications

  • Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Traffic management systems
  • Intersection safety systems

Problems Solved

  • Difficulty in accurately identifying a vehicle's position at an intersection
  • Lack of historical data on driving characteristics at intersections
  • Inefficient extraction of relevant driving characteristic parameters

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in identifying a vehicle's position at an intersection
  • Enhanced understanding of driving characteristics at intersections
  • Efficient extraction of specific driving characteristic parameters for analysis and decision-making


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processor includes: a first information acquisition unit that acquires section position information for identifying the position of a first section on a traveling lane and the position of a second section on an oncoming lane; a second information acquisition unit that stores, as history information, the history of driving characteristic parameters when traveling through the intersection; a driver's vehicle position calculation unit that sequentially calculates the driver's vehicle position information when traveling through the intersection; a section determination unit that determines which of the first section and the second section the driver's vehicle position is located; and an extraction unit that extracts a specific driving characteristic parameter corresponding to at least one of the first section and the second section from the history information based on the result of the determination by the section determination unit.
