This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242509 titled 'Enhanced Navigation Instructions with Landmarks Under Difficult Driving Conditions
The technology described in the abstract relates to factors in the external environment around a vehicle that can trigger enhanced driving directions for the driver. These factors include adverse weather conditions, low light conditions, and temporary obstacles that may obstruct the driver's view of street signs or landmarks. By detecting these factors in real-time using on-board cameras, the system can modify or enhance directions to help the driver navigate more effectively.
- On-board cameras are used to detect objects and conditions in the environment around the vehicle.
- Factors such as adverse weather, low light, and temporary obstacles are considered to enhance driving directions.
- Real-time modifications to directions help the driver navigate more effectively.
- The system allows the driver to quickly identify visible landmarks and use them for navigation.
- The technology improves the driver's ability to see and navigate in challenging conditions.
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems in vehicles - Autonomous driving technology - Emergency response vehicles - Fleet management systems
Problems Solved: - Improving visibility and navigation in adverse conditions - Enhancing driver safety and efficiency - Providing real-time updates for driving directions
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road - Improved navigation in challenging environments - Enhanced driver experience and confidence
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Driving Directions Technology for Vehicles This technology can be used in navigation systems for consumer vehicles, commercial fleets, and emergency response vehicles. It can also be integrated into autonomous driving systems to improve navigation and safety.
Questions about Enhanced Driving Directions Technology: 1. How does this technology improve driver safety in adverse conditions?
- This technology enhances visibility and provides real-time updates to help drivers navigate safely in challenging environments.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond consumer vehicles?
- This technology can be used in various industries, including fleet management, emergency response, and autonomous driving.
Original Abstract Submitted
the technology relates to factors regarding the external environment around a vehicle that are used to trigger enhanced driving directions for use by the driver. the factors can include issues such as adverse weather conditions, low light conditions and temporary obstacles or other obstructions that may prevent or reduce the ability of the driver to see street signs or other landmarks that are part of an initial set of driving directions. upon determination of one or more relevant factors, the system is able to modify or otherwise enhances directions in real time. this allows the driver to be able to quickly and easily identify other visible landmarks and use such information to navigate to a desired destination. this approach employs one or more on-board cameras configured to detect objects and conditions in the environment adjacent to or otherwise nearby the vehicle, such as within line of sight of the vehicle's front end.
