CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443346 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

The abstract of a patent application describes a vehicle control system that utilizes an imaging device to capture multiple images, which are then combined into a composite image displayed on a screen for user interaction.

  • The vehicle control system includes at least one imaging device attached to a vehicle.
  • The imaging device captures multiple images.
  • A control circuit processes the multiple images to generate a composite image.
  • The composite image is displayed on a display unit.
  • User operations on the display unit control the vehicle.

Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Surveillance systems

Problems Solved: - Enhanced visualization for vehicle control - Improved user interface for operating vehicles

Benefits: - Increased safety through better visualization - User-friendly interface for vehicle operation - Enhanced control and maneuverability

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Control System for Safer Driving This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for developing advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and surveillance systems. It can improve safety, user experience, and control in various vehicle applications.

Prior Art: There are existing vehicle control systems that use imaging devices for various purposes, but this specific combination of capturing multiple images and generating a composite image for user interaction may be a novel innovation.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of computer vision and artificial intelligence may lead to advancements in imaging technology for vehicle control systems, potentially enhancing the capabilities of this patented technology.

Questions about Vehicle Control System: 1. How does the control circuit process the multiple images to generate a composite image? 2. What are the key advantages of using a composite image for vehicle control compared to individual images?


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle control system includes at least one imaging device attached to a vehicle and that captures multiple images, and a control circuit that generates a composite image from the multiple images and displays the composite image on a display unit. The vehicle is operated according to a user operation on a portion of the display unit on which the composite image is being displayed.
