VEHICLE CONTROLLER, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208460 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROLLER, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
The abstract describes a vehicle controller that can receive remote operation commands, recognize the state of a steering lock, and start or stop the vehicle's drive source based on these inputs.
- Remote operation reception unit receives remote commands for vehicle operation.
- Steering lock recognition unit identifies when the steering is locked by a steering lock mechanism.
- Travel start operation recognition unit detects the operation to start the vehicle's travel.
- Control unit activates the drive source and puts the vehicle in standby mode when instructed remotely in a steering lock state, and stops the drive source when travel operation is detected in standby mode.
Potential Applications: - Vehicle security systems - Remote vehicle operation technology - Anti-theft measures for vehicles
Problems Solved: - Preventing unauthorized use of vehicles - Enhancing vehicle security - Improving control over vehicle operations remotely
Benefits: - Increased security for vehicles - Remote control convenience - Prevention of theft or unauthorized use
Commercial Applications: Title: "Remote Vehicle Control System for Enhanced Security" This technology could be utilized in car rental services, fleet management companies, and personal vehicle security systems to enhance control and security measures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between authorized and unauthorized remote commands? - The system likely uses authentication protocols or unique identifiers to verify the legitimacy of remote commands. 2. Can the system be integrated with existing vehicle security systems? - Yes, the technology can likely be integrated with various vehicle security systems to enhance their functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle controller includes: a remote operation reception unit which receives a remote operation of a vehicle; a steering lock recognition unit which recognizes a steering lock state where a steering is locked by a steering lock mechanism; a travel start operation recognition unit which recognizes an operation for starting travel of the vehicle; and a control unit which starts a drive source of the vehicle and turns the vehicle to a predetermined standby mode when an activation instruction for the vehicle is received by the remote operation reception unit in a state where the steering lock state is recognized, and stops the drive source when the operation for starting the travel of the vehicle in the vehicle is recognized by the travel start operation recognition unit in the standby mode.
