DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253564 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The driving support device described in the patent application includes various components such as a display device, front camera, traffic light identification unit, stop position determination unit, travel control unit, and display control unit. These work together to provide driving support for the vehicle by displaying relevant information, identifying traffic lights, determining stop positions, and controlling the vehicle's travel accordingly.
- The display device shows driving support information.
- The front camera captures images of the vehicle's front.
- The traffic light identification unit recognizes traffic lights from the camera images.
- The stop position determination unit calculates a stop position based on the traffic light's location.
- The travel control unit guides the vehicle to the stop position.
- The display control unit presents an image with the identified traffic light for the driver.

Original Abstract Submitted
the driving support device includes a display device, a front camera, a traffic light identification unit, a stop position determination unit, a travel control unit, and a display control unit. the display device displays information related to driving support for the vehicle. the front camera captures an image of the front of the vehicle. the traffic light identification unit identifies a traffic light to be obeyed based on the image captured by the front camera. the stop position determination unit determines a stop position such that the traffic light to be obeyed fits within an imaging range of the front camera at an area before a stop position farthest point. the travel control unit controls the vehicle to travel to the stop position. the display control unit causes the display device to display an image including at least the traffic light to be obeyed and recognized by the front camera.
