CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18547110 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
The patent application describes a control system for a motor vehicle that receives motion control signals from a remote device and responds by controlling the vehicle's motion.
- The control system sends a verification request signal to the remote device and waits for a verification request reply signal in response.
- Upon receiving the reply signal, the system compares it to an expected signal to verify the authenticity of the communication.
- If the reply signal matches the expected signal, the system uses the motion control signal from the remote device to control the vehicle's motion.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Remote control systems for industrial vehicles - Telematics systems for fleet management
Problems Solved: - Ensuring secure and authenticated communication between remote devices and vehicle control systems - Preventing unauthorized access to vehicle control functions
Benefits: - Enhanced security for remote control of vehicles - Improved reliability of communication between devices and vehicles - Increased safety for operators and passengers
Commercial Applications: "Secure Remote Control System for Vehicles: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Fleet Management"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control system verify the authenticity of the communication with the remote device? 2. What are the potential risks associated with unauthorized access to the vehicle control system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A control system is arranged to control, or provide input to a system to control, motion of a motor vehicle in response to a motion control signal received from a remote device, wherein the control system is configured to: transmit a verification request signal to the remote device; listen for a verification request reply signal transmitted from the remote device in response to the verification request signal transmitted; compare, in the event that a verification request reply signal is received from the remote device, the verification request reply signal to an expected verification request reply signal; and control, or provide input to a system to control motion of the vehicle in response to a motion control signal received from the remote device based on receipt of a verification request reply signal corresponding to the expected verification request reply signal.
