APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING SAFETY OPERATION INDEX, AND METHOD USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233569 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING SAFETY OPERATION INDEX, AND METHOD USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a safety operation index calculation device and method that analyze driving data to identify dangerous driving behavior, classify it into groups, update safety operation indexes for drivers, and designate a defensive driving group.

  • The apparatus includes processors and memory to execute instructions for data analysis.
  • Driving data is collected and dangerous driving behavior is identified based on predetermined criteria.
  • The data is classified into groups, with a defensive driving group designated as the largest group.
  • Safety operation indexes for drivers are updated based on the remaining group of driving data.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for developing driver safety systems, insurance companies for risk assessment, and fleet management for monitoring driver behavior.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in identifying and addressing dangerous driving behavior, improving overall road safety, and providing personalized feedback to drivers for better performance.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced driver safety, reduced accidents, improved risk management, and potentially lower insurance premiums for safe drivers.

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology could include driver monitoring systems, insurance telematics, fleet management solutions, and safety training programs for drivers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing driver monitoring systems that track driving behavior but may not specifically focus on updating safety operation indexes based on group classification of driving data.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle data privacy and security concerns?

The patent abstract does not mention how the device ensures the protection of sensitive driving data and the privacy of drivers. It would be important to understand the measures in place to safeguard this information.

Are there any limitations to the accuracy of classifying driving data into groups?

The abstract does not address any potential challenges or limitations in accurately categorizing driving behavior into different groups. It would be essential to know the reliability and precision of this classification process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A safety operation index calculation device and a method are disclosed. An apparatus may in close one or more processors and memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to extract, from driving data collected for drivers whose safety operation indexes are higher than a threshold value, driving data that may be determined as dangerous driving; classify, based on predetermined criteria, the extracted driving data into a plurality of groups; designate a group, of the plurality of groups, having a size larger than remaining groups of the plurality of groups, as a defensive driving group; and update the safety operation indexes for the drivers based on at least a portion, of the extracted driving data, corresponding to the remaining group.
