Impaired Driver Deterrent System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326590 titled 'Impaired Driver Deterrent System
The abstract describes a system that prevents an impaired driver from starting a vehicle using a mobile application on a portable communication device and a hardware component integrated into the vehicle.
- The system includes a portable communication device with a display screen, user-operable input elements, a microphone audio input, a speaker, and wireless communication circuitry.
- The hardware component in the vehicle consists of a normally open switching element operable by a wireless signal from the portable communication device, which, when open, prevents the vehicle from starting.
- An interactive interface is displayed on the display screen to facilitate communication between the device and the vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Preventing drunk driving incidents - Enhancing vehicle safety measures - Implementing driver monitoring systems
Problems Solved: - Reducing the risk of accidents caused by impaired driving - Providing a reliable method to prevent unauthorized vehicle use
Benefits: - Increased road safety - Peace of mind for vehicle owners - Compliance with legal regulations regarding impaired driving prevention
Commercial Applications: Title: "Impaired Driver Prevention System for Vehicles" This technology could be used by car manufacturers, transportation companies, and law enforcement agencies to enhance safety measures and prevent accidents caused by impaired driving.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to vehicle safety systems, impaired driving prevention technologies, and wireless communication in vehicles to gain a better understanding of the innovation described in the abstract.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in vehicle safety technologies, impaired driving prevention methods, and the integration of mobile applications in automotive systems to keep up with the latest developments in the field.
Questions about the Impaired Driver Prevention System: 1. How does the system differentiate between an impaired driver and a sober driver? - The system may utilize various sensors and algorithms to detect signs of impairment, such as erratic behavior or slurred speech, before allowing the vehicle to start.
2. Can the system be overridden in case of emergencies? - There may be provisions for emergency overrides by authorized personnel, such as law enforcement or emergency services, to ensure the safety of passengers and others on the road.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system preventing an impaired driver from starting a vehicle has a mobile application executing on a portable communication device having a display screen, user-operable input elements, a microphone audio input, a speaker and wireless communication circuitry, a hardware component integrated into wiring of the vehicle, the hardware component comprising a normally open switching element operable by wireless signal from the portable communication device, that when open prevents the vehicle from starting, and an interactive interface displayed on the display screen.
