VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240301737 titled 'VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
When a request is made to open the luggage compartment door, the ECU performs various steps including activating the back camera, displaying the moving image on a display device, calculating the distance to an object in the image, and stopping the operation of the door if the object is too close.
- Activates back camera
- Displays moving image on display device
- Calculates distance to object in image
- Stops door operation if object is too close
- Resumes door operation if object is at a safe distance
Key Features and Innovation
- Integration of back camera for visual feedback - Distance calculation to prevent accidents - Automatic stopping and resuming of door operation based on object proximity
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in vehicles, particularly in cars with automated features, to enhance safety and prevent accidents when opening the luggage compartment door.
Problems Solved
- Prevents collisions with objects when opening the door - Enhances user safety and convenience - Reduces the risk of damage to the vehicle or surrounding objects
Benefits
- Improved safety for users and surrounding objects - Enhanced user experience with automated features - Reduced risk of accidents and damage
Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include automotive industry for vehicles with automated features, car rental companies, and transportation services.
Questions about the Technology
1. How does the technology calculate the distance to the object in the image?
- The technology uses image processing algorithms to calculate the distance based on object size and position.
2. What happens if the object is too close to the door when it is opening?
- The operation of the door is automatically stopped to prevent collisions.
Original Abstract Submitted
when there is a request to open the luggage compartment door, the ecu performs processing including the following steps: activating the back camera, acquiring a moving image, displaying the moving image on the display device, acquiring a still image, calculating the distance to the object in the image, stopping the operation of the luggage compartment door when the distance to the object is less than or equal to a threshold, stopping the display on the display device, and performing an opening operation of the luggage compartment door when the distance to the object is greater than the threshold.
