VEHICLE DISPATCH SYSTEM, VEHICLE DISPATCH METHOD, SERVER, USER TERMINAL, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202628 titled 'VEHICLE DISPATCH SYSTEM, VEHICLE DISPATCH METHOD, SERVER, USER TERMINAL, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a server communicates with a user device to provide information about autonomous driving functions of candidate vehicles and facilitate the selection of a dispatch vehicle.

• The server obtains the position of a registered vehicle and a vehicle dispatch position.
• Based on these positions, the server determines a candidate vehicle for dispatch.
• Information about the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle is transmitted to the user device.
• The user device displays this information and allows the user to select the dispatch vehicle.
• The server then transmits the dispatch vehicle information to the selected vehicle.

Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicle dispatch systems - Fleet management solutions - Transportation logistics optimization

Problems Solved: - Efficient vehicle dispatch based on real-time positions - Enhanced user experience through information on autonomous driving capabilities

Benefits: - Improved dispatch efficiency - Enhanced user decision-making process - Increased safety and convenience in transportation

Commercial Applications: Title: "Autonomous Vehicle Dispatch System for Enhanced Fleet Management" This technology can be utilized by transportation companies, ride-sharing services, and delivery companies to streamline their operations, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce costs.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the candidate vehicle for dispatch? - The system uses the positions of the registered vehicle and the dispatch vehicle to identify the most suitable candidate for dispatch. 2. What kind of information about autonomous driving functions is provided to the user device? - The user device receives details about the autonomous driving capabilities of the candidate vehicles to assist in the selection process.

Original Abstract Submitted

a server includes a unit obtaining a position of a registered vehicle, a unit obtaining a vehicle dispatch position, a unit determining a candidate vehicle based on the vehicle dispatch position and the position of the registered vehicle, a unit transmitting information regarding an autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle to a user device, a unit receiving information for identifying a dispatch vehicle, and a unit transmitting a vehicle dispatch position to the dispatch vehicle. the user device includes a unit receiving the information regarding the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle, a unit displaying the information regarding the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle, an unit accepting a user operation for selecting the dispatch vehicle, and a unit transmitting the information for identifying the dispatch vehicle to the server.
