VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18371122 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
The vehicle control method described in the patent application involves a process where an initial warning state is triggered when a door is locked in a pre-warning state, leading to the output of a first warning alarm after the vehicle's ignition is turned off. Subsequently, an escalation warning state is entered upon the end of the first warning alarm, resulting in the output of a second warning alarm for a second time interval. Both warning alarms are activated based on the detection of a passenger inside the vehicle.
- The method involves a multi-stage warning system based on the status of the vehicle's doors and the presence of passengers.
- The first warning alarm is activated after the vehicle's ignition is turned off, alerting the driver to potential risks.
- The second warning alarm is triggered after the first warning alarm ends, providing an escalated alert to the driver.
- The warnings are designed to enhance safety and security measures for both the driver and passengers.
- The system aims to prevent accidents or incidents by ensuring the driver is aware of the situation inside the vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Vehicle security systems - Fleet management solutions
Problems Solved: - Lack of awareness about the presence of passengers in a vehicle - Potential security risks due to unlocked doors - Accidents or incidents caused by negligence or oversight
Benefits: - Improved safety for drivers and passengers - Enhanced security measures for vehicles - Prevention of potential accidents or incidents
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Safety and Security System This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to integrate advanced warning systems in vehicles, catering to the growing demand for enhanced safety features in the automotive industry. Fleet management companies can also benefit from this innovation to ensure the safety of their drivers and vehicles.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between a passenger and an object left inside the vehicle? 2. Can the warning alarms be customized or adjusted based on specific user preferences?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of automotive safety and security systems may lead to advancements in warning systems for vehicles, potentially improving the effectiveness and efficiency of such technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control method includes entering an initial warning state based on a door being locked in a pre-warning state to output a first warning alarm for a first time interval after an ignition of a vehicle is turned off, and entering an escalation warning state based on end of the first warning alarm and outputting a second warning alarm for a second time interval, wherein the first and second warning alarms are output based on detection of a passenger in the vehicle.
