INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101125 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that calculates a feature related to a driver's behavior while driving, specifically focusing on reducing risks in relation to a preceding vehicle. The device includes a processor that identifies predetermined risky situations and calculates information related to the driver's behavior to mitigate these risks.

  • Processor calculates feature related to driver's behavior for risk reduction.
  • Transmission unit sends calculated feature to an external source.
  • Processor identifies risky situations with preceding vehicles.
  • Feature calculation is based on driver behavior in risky situations.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in:

  • Advanced driver assistance systems.
  • Fleet management solutions.
  • Insurance telematics.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses issues such as:

  • Improving road safety.
  • Enhancing driver awareness.
  • Minimizing accidents caused by risky driving behavior.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Reduced accidents and collisions.
  • Improved driver safety.
  • Enhanced overall driving experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially used in:

  • Automotive industry for vehicle safety features.
  • Insurance companies for risk assessment.
  • Fleet management companies for driver monitoring.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing driver monitoring systems that track behavior but may not specifically focus on risk reduction in relation to preceding vehicles.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device identify risky situations with preceding vehicles?

The device uses sensors and algorithms to analyze the distance, speed, and behavior of the preceding vehicle to determine risky situations.

What types of driver behaviors are considered in the feature calculation for risk reduction?

The feature calculation may consider behaviors such as sudden braking, tailgating, or erratic lane changes as indicators of risky driving behavior.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing device calculates a feature related to driving of a driver. the information processing device includes: a processor that calculates the feature; and a transmission unit that transmits the calculated feature to an outside. the processor identifies whether there is a predetermined situation in which a risk in relation to a preceding vehicle occurs, and calculates, as the feature, information related to a behavior of the driver for reducing the risk when the predetermined situation is identified.
