DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529357 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE
The driving support device described in the patent application includes a support controller, a storage device for storing prerequisite control definitions, and a system controller for executing the prerequisite controls. The support controller acquires information on prerequisite controls and system states related to driving support, determines the status of each prerequisite control, requests driver approval for changing system states that do not match, and initiates the driving support control upon driver approval.
- Support controller acquires information on prerequisite controls and system states.
- System controller determines the status of each prerequisite control.
- Driver is requested to approve changes in system states that do not match.
- Upon driver approval, system states are changed, and driving support control is initiated.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Advanced driver assistance systems - Vehicle safety technologies
Problems Solved: - Ensuring driver approval for changes in system states related to driving support controls - Enhancing safety and efficiency of driving support systems
Benefits: - Improved driver awareness and control over driving support functions - Enhanced safety and reliability of autonomous driving technologies
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Driver Control in Autonomous Systems" This technology can be applied in the development of autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and other automotive safety technologies. It can be marketed to automotive manufacturers, technology companies, and transportation services for integrating advanced driving support features.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the support controller acquire information on prerequisite controls and system states? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the future of autonomous driving systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
The driving support device includes; a support controller; a storage device configured to store a definition of at least one prerequisite control; and a system controller configured to perform the at least one prerequisite control, wherein the support controller includes; acquiring information of a prerequisite control and a system state corresponding to the driving support control in response to an operation of a driver of a vehicle for starting the driving support control; determining whether the system state is enabled or disabled for each prerequisite control corresponding to the driving support control; requesting the driver to approve a change of the system state for the prerequisite control related to the system state determined not to match; and in response to obtaining approval from the driver, changing a system state of the prerequisite control related to the system state determined not to match and starting the driving support control.
