INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486460 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND VEHICLE
The information processing device described in the patent application acquires detection information such as the vehicle speed of the own vehicle and the inter-vehicle distance from another vehicle ahead. It then displays a graphical image on a display unit in the vehicle representing the inter-vehicle time required for the own vehicle to reach the position of the other vehicle. The display control unit changes the display of the graphic image when there is a significant variation in the vehicle speed or inter-vehicle distance.
- Acquisition unit acquires detection information including vehicle speed and inter-vehicle distance.
- Display unit shows a graphical image representing inter-vehicle time.
- Display control unit changes display based on variations in vehicle speed or distance exceeding a threshold.
Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Traffic management systems - Fleet management solutions
Problems Solved: - Enhances driver awareness of surrounding vehicles - Improves safety by providing real-time information on inter-vehicle distance
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Better decision-making for drivers - Enhanced driving experience
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Vehicle Display System for Enhanced Safety" This technology can be used in automotive industry for developing advanced driver assistance systems, contributing to safer roads and improved traffic flow.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve driver awareness on the road? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on traffic management systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
The information processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires detection information detected by a detection unit including the vehicle speed of the own vehicle and the inter-vehicle distance from another vehicle running ahead of the own vehicle in the traveling direction of the own vehicle; displaying on a display unit in the vehicle a graphical image representing information about the inter-vehicle time required for the own vehicle to reach the position where the other vehicle is located, which is derived using the acquired detection information; a display control unit that changes display of the graphic image when a magnitude of variation in at least one of the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance included in the information exceeds a predetermined threshold.
