Vehicle and Control Method Thereof - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174177 titled 'Vehicle and Control Method Thereof
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment vehicle described in the patent application includes a side mirror, a communicator, and a controller. The communicator is able to transmit a search signal to a remote controller through multiple antennas and receive a response signal from the remote controller in return. The controller, which is connected to the side mirror, can determine if a driver is present in the vicinity of the first antenna by analyzing the response signal intensity. Based on this information, the controller can instruct the side mirror to fold or unfold accordingly.
- Side mirror with integrated communicator and controller
- Communicator sends search signal to remote controller via antennas
- Controller analyzes response signal to determine driver presence and location
- Side mirror adjusts position based on driver location
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in the automotive industry for vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to enhance driver convenience and safety.
Problems Solved
1. Improved driver detection and location accuracy near the vehicle. 2. Enhanced automation of side mirror adjustment based on driver proximity.
Benefits
1. Increased driver convenience and comfort. 2. Enhanced safety through accurate driver detection. 3. Automation of side mirror adjustment for improved visibility.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Side Mirror Technology for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems that use sensors to detect the presence of a driver near a vehicle and adjust settings accordingly. However, the integration of a communicator and controller within the side mirror for driver detection and mirror adjustment is a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle multiple drivers approaching the vehicle simultaneously?
The patent application does not specify how the system distinguishes between multiple drivers approaching the vehicle at the same time. This could be a potential limitation in scenarios where multiple individuals are near the vehicle.
What is the range of the search signal transmitted by the communicator?
The patent application does not provide information on the range of the search signal transmitted by the communicator. Understanding the signal range is crucial for determining the effectiveness of the system in detecting drivers approaching the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
an embodiment vehicle includes a side mirror, a communicator, and a controller. the communicator may be configured to transmit a search signal to a remote controller through the plurality of antennas and to receive a response signal transmitted from the remote controller as a response to the search signal. the controller may be electrically coupled to the side mirror, configured to determine whether a driver is present within a search area of the first antenna according to the driver carrying the remote controller and approaching the parked vehicle being detected, determine a location of the driver based on an intensity of the response signal received from the remote controller as a response to the search signal transmitted from the first antenna, and signal the side mirror whether to convert into a folded state or an unfolded state based on the determined location of the driver.
