VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366228 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a vehicle control system that stops fuel supply to certain cylinders while supplying fuel to others during engine operation, with a compensating process to maintain output levels.

• Stopping process stops fuel supply to certain cylinders and supplies fuel to remaining cylinders during engine operation.
• Compensating process increases output of remaining cylinders to offset decrease in output from stopped cylinders.
• System control circuit adjusts output levels based on engine rotation speed and crankshaft torque.

1. 1. 1. Potential Applications

• Automotive industry for improving engine efficiency and performance.
• Industrial machinery for optimizing fuel consumption and output levels.

1. 1. 1. Problems Solved

• Maintains engine performance during cylinder deactivation.
• Increases overall efficiency by adjusting output levels based on engine conditions.

1. 1. 1. Benefits

• Improved fuel efficiency.
• Enhanced engine performance.
• Reduced emissions.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle control system, a vehicle control method, and a storage medium are provided. A stopping process stops fuel supply to one or more stopping cylinders and supplies fuel to one or more remaining cylinders during a load operation of an engine. During execution of the stopping process, a compensating process compensates for a decrease in output of the one or more stopping cylinders due to the execution of the stopping process by increasing output generated by combustion in the one or more remaining cylinders. The system control circuit causes, when the engine rotation speed of the engine is the same, the output after being increased by the compensating process to decrease as a shaft torque of the crankshaft of the engine increases.
