PROPOSAL DEVICE AND PROPOSAL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104976 titled 'PROPOSAL DEVICE AND PROPOSAL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application proposes a device that can diagnose trends in the operation of onboard devices in a vehicle and suggest applications to remind the driver of any forgotten operations.

  • Memory and processor are key components of the proposal device.
  • The processor acquires status information from the vehicle related to the state of the vehicle and onboard devices.
  • The processor then analyzes the data to diagnose trends in the driver's operation of the onboard devices.
  • If a trend of forgetting to operate an onboard device is detected, the device proposes introducing an application to notify the driver of the forgotten operation.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in vehicles to improve driver awareness and ensure the proper operation of onboard devices.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of drivers forgetting to operate essential onboard devices in vehicles, potentially leading to safety hazards or inefficiencies.

Benefits

The device offers a proactive solution to remind drivers of any forgotten operations, enhancing overall safety and efficiency while driving.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be integrated into automotive systems, fleet management solutions, or driver assistance applications to enhance driver awareness and safety.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing driver assistance systems or onboard device monitoring technologies in vehicles.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device differentiate between intentional and forgotten operations by the driver?

The device may use algorithms or user input to distinguish between intentional and forgotten operations.

What is the impact of introducing additional applications on driver distraction?

It is essential to consider the potential distraction caused by introducing new applications to remind the driver of forgotten operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

a proposal device is provided, the proposal device including: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: acquire, from a vehicle, status information related to a state of the vehicle and a state of an onboard device, perform diagnosis of a trend in operation of the onboard device by a driver of the vehicle, based on the acquired status information, and propose, to the driver, introduction of an application that provides notification of a forgotten operation, in a case in which results of the diagnosis indicate a tendency by the driver to forget to operate the onboard device.
