ROAD SURFACE DRAWING CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174169 titled 'ROAD SURFACE DRAWING CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a road surface drawing control device for a vehicle that can draw a road surface around the vehicle based on the user's proximity to the vehicle.
- Target information acquisition device acquires information on targets around the vehicle.
- Communication device communicates with a keyless entry terminal device operated by the user.
- Road surface drawing device draws the road surface around the vehicle.
- Road surface drawing ECU controls the operation of the drawing device based on user proximity or keyless entry terminal device operation.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, parking assistance systems, and navigation systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately drawing road surfaces around a vehicle based on user proximity, enhancing safety and convenience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved road surface visualization, enhanced user experience, and increased safety for pedestrians and other vehicles.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include automotive industry, smart city infrastructure development, and transportation technology companies.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of proximity sensors in vehicles for parking assistance systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device differentiate between the user and other individuals in the vicinity of the vehicle?
The device may use biometric data or user-specific signals to differentiate the user from other individuals.
What happens if the user is within the reference distance but does not want the road surface to be drawn?
There could be an option for the user to disable the road surface drawing feature through the keyless entry terminal device or a mobile app.
Original Abstract Submitted
a road surface drawing control device for a vehicle that comprises a target information acquisition device that acquires information on targets around the vehicle; a communication device that communicates with a keyless entry terminal device operated by a user of the vehicle; a road surface drawing device that draws a road surface around the vehicle; a road surface drawing ecu that controls the operation of the road surface drawing device, and when the road surface drawing ecu determines that the user of the vehicle is within a reference distance from the vehicle based on the target information acquired by the target information acquisition device or that the keyless entry terminal device has been operated based on the communication between the communication device and the keyless entry terminal device, the road surface drawing device is activated to draw the road surface.
