INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461670 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an information processing device that calculates a feature related to a driver's driving behavior, specifically focusing on reducing risks when turning right or left in a small radius. The device identifies predetermined risky situations and calculates driving behavior information to mitigate these risks based on the driver's steering wheel, accelerator, and brake operations.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device calculates a feature related to driving of a driver. The information processing device includes a processor that calculates the feature, and a transmission unit that transmits the calculated feature to an outside. The processor identifies whether there is a predetermined situation in which a risk occurs when turning right or left in a small radius, and calculates, when the predetermined situation is identified, information on a driving behavior for reducing the risk that is identified from information related to at least one of a steering wheel operation, an accelerator operation, and a brake operation of the driver, as the feature.
