INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400669 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

The abstract describes an information processing method by an information processing apparatus that involves detecting when a predetermined operation for a vehicle has been forgotten and taking appropriate actions based on the situation.

  • Acquiring positional information for both the vehicle and the user terminal.
  • Determining if the user terminal is not in the vicinity of the vehicle.
  • Acquiring vehicle information when the user terminal is not nearby.
  • Notifying the user terminal if the vehicle is in an abnormal state.
  • Notifying the user terminal if the vehicle is not in an abnormal state but the operation has been forgotten.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle monitoring and user notifications. - Fleet management systems for tracking and alerting drivers. - Smart transportation systems for enhancing safety and efficiency.

Problems Solved: - Addressing the issue of forgotten operations for vehicles. - Improving communication between vehicles and user terminals. - Enhancing overall vehicle monitoring and management.

Benefits: - Increased safety for drivers and passengers. - Improved efficiency in vehicle operations. - Enhanced user experience with seamless notifications.

Commercial Applications: Title: Vehicle Operation Reminder System This technology can be used in automotive companies, fleet management services, and smart city initiatives to improve vehicle monitoring and user communication, leading to safer and more efficient transportation systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system differentiate between an abnormal state and a normal state of a vehicle?

  - The system uses vehicle information to determine the state of the vehicle and whether the operation has been forgotten.

2. What types of notifications can be sent to the user terminal in case of a forgotten operation?

  - Notifications can include alerts, messages, or reminders to the user terminal based on the status of the vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing method by an information processing apparatus includes acquiring, upon detecting that a predetermined operation for a vehicle has been forgotten, positional information for the vehicle and positional information for a user terminal, acquiring, upon determining that a position of the user terminal is not in a vicinity of a position of the vehicle, vehicle information for the vehicle, and not notifying, when the vehicle is determined from the vehicle information to be in an abnormal state, the user terminal that the predetermined operation has been forgotten, or notifying, when the vehicle is determined from the vehicle information to be not in an abnormal state, the user terminal that the predetermined operation has been forgotten.
