INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240240953 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE

The information processing device in this patent application is designed to analyze the smoothness of turning right at a specific intersection by collecting data from a vehicle that has turned right at that intersection.

• The control unit acquires data on the time taken to turn right at the intersection from the first vehicle.
• Based on this data, the control unit calculates an evaluation value representing the smoothness of the right turn at the intersection.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the development of advanced driver assistance systems. - It may also find applications in traffic management systems to optimize intersection design.

Problems Solved: - Provides a method to objectively evaluate the smoothness of right turns at intersections. - Offers insights into improving driving techniques for better traffic flow.

Benefits: - Enhances road safety by promoting smoother and more efficient right turns. - Can contribute to reducing traffic congestion and improving overall traffic flow.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Utilizing Intersection Evaluation Technology This technology can be integrated into vehicles to provide real-time feedback to drivers on their turning techniques. Market Implications: The demand for advanced driver assistance systems is growing, creating opportunities for the commercialization of this technology.

Questions about Intersection Evaluation Technology: 1. How does this technology contribute to improving road safety? - This technology helps drivers assess and improve their turning techniques, leading to smoother and safer maneuvers at intersections. 2. What are the potential implications of integrating this technology into autonomous vehicles? - Autonomous vehicles could benefit from this technology by enhancing their ability to navigate intersections smoothly and efficiently.

Original Abstract Submitted

the information processing device includes a control unit configured to acquire, from a first vehicle that has turned right at a predetermined intersection, first data relating to a time taken to turn right at the intersection, and calculate, based on the first data, an evaluation value representing smoothness when turning right at the intersection.
