CONTROL DEVICE FOR DETECTING VEHICLE REAR ATTACHMENT AND TURNING OFF REAR OBJECT DETECTION SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317251 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE FOR DETECTING VEHICLE REAR ATTACHMENT AND TURNING OFF REAR OBJECT DETECTION SENSOR
The abstract of the patent application describes a control device for a vehicle that includes an object detection part, an alarm part, and a determination part to detect objects at the rear of the vehicle, provide alarms in case of potential collisions, and determine whether the vehicle is in a tow state or non-tow state.
- Object detection part detects objects at the rear of the vehicle.
- Alarm part provides alarms if the vehicle has a probability of colliding with the detected object.
- Determination part distinguishes between tow state and non-tow state of the vehicle.
- When an object is within a predetermined distance for a set amount of time while driving, the determination part suggests not providing an alarm.
Potential Applications: - Vehicle safety systems - Collision avoidance technology - Driver assistance systems
Problems Solved: - Preventing collisions with objects at the rear of the vehicle - Avoiding unnecessary alarms in certain driving conditions
Benefits: - Enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians - Reduced risk of accidents - Improved driving experience
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Vehicle Safety System for Collision Avoidance" This technology can be used in automotive industry for developing advanced safety features in vehicles, which can be marketed to consumers looking for enhanced safety measures in their vehicles.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the determination part differentiate between tow and non-tow states? - The determination part analyzes the distance and time the object is detected to make this determination.
2. What are the key components of the object detection part? - The object detection part includes sensors and a processor to detect objects at the rear of the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
a control device adapted for a vehicle is provided. the control device includes a processor configured to function as an object detection part detecting an object at a rear of the vehicle, an alarm part providing an alarm in a case that the object detection part detects that the vehicle has a probability of colliding with the object at the rear of the vehicle, and a determination part determining whether the vehicle is in a tow state or a non-tow state, wherein in a case when the object detection part detects that the object is located within a predetermined distance of the vehicle for greater than or equal to a predetermined amount of time while the vehicle is being driven, the determination part determines the vehicle is in a tow state and provides a suggestion to not provide the alarm.
