DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE AND A NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240336194 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE AND A NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
The driving assistance device described in the patent application includes a processor that detects objects around a vehicle and performs various processes to enhance driving safety and awareness.
- The device obtains detection values from sonar sensors, shift range indicators, and steering angle sensors to gather information about the vehicle's surroundings and current state.
- It controls a notification device to alert the driver based on the detected values and adjusts the content of the notifications accordingly.
- The device calculates the relative distance between the vehicle and surrounding objects using the sonar sensor data.
- It determines the vehicle's traveling direction based on the shift range indicators.
- The device calculates priorities for each sonar sensor based on the traveling direction and steering angle, adjusting notification contents accordingly.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced driving safety features in vehicles - Improved awareness of surroundings for drivers - Integration into autonomous driving systems for better decision-making
Problems Solved: - Lack of comprehensive awareness of surroundings while driving - Inefficient notification systems for potential hazards - Limited integration of sensor data for driving assistance
