VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174245 titled 'VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle driving assistance apparatus that displays traffic information and autonomously decelerates the vehicle in response to the information.

  • The apparatus displays a first image showing traffic information on the vehicle's route.
  • The apparatus can autonomously decelerate the vehicle based on the traffic information.
  • The system determines whether to enable the autonomous deceleration control based on the situation.
  • The first image is displayed at different times depending on whether the autonomous deceleration control is enabled or disabled.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Autonomous driving systems
  • Traffic management systems
  • Fleet management systems

Problems Solved

  • Improving road safety by providing real-time traffic information and autonomous deceleration capabilities.
  • Enhancing driver assistance systems by integrating traffic data for decision-making.

Benefits

  • Increased safety on the roads
  • Improved traffic flow and efficiency
  • Reduced risk of accidents and collisions

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Traffic Flow with Autonomous Deceleration Control

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to autonomous driving systems and traffic information display technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus determine the appropriate level of deceleration based on the traffic information?

The patent application does not provide details on the specific algorithms or methods used to calculate the required deceleration.

What types of sensors or data sources are used to gather traffic information for the display?

The patent application does not specify the sources of traffic data or the types of sensors integrated into the system for information collection.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle driving assistance apparatus executes a first control to display a first image by a displaying device and a second control including an autonomous deceleration control to autonomously decelerate the vehicle in response to the traffic information. the first image is an image which displays traffic information on a place where a vehicle will move. the vehicle driving assistance apparatus renders the second control valid or invalid, starts to display the first image at a predetermined valid-state point of time in a situation where the second control is rendered valid, and starts to display the first image at a predetermined invalid-state point of time in a situation where the second control is rendered invalid. the predetermined invalid-state point of time is earlier than the predetermined valid-state point of time.
