Patent number: 11587434Abstract: A device and related method are associated with a focus vehicle. The device comprises a sensor that senses area information about an information area usable to assist the focus vehicle and an oncoming vehicle to pass each other, a transmitter that broadcasts the area information via a vehicle-to-vehicle network protocol, and a controller. The controller produces an assisting result from the area information and vehicle information related to the focus vehicle and the oncoming vehicle. The vehicle information includes first distance information of the focus vehicle from the information area, and second distance information of the oncoming vehicle from the information area. The device includes a display that displays virtual traffic information representing at least stopping and proceeding of the focus vehicle onto a windshield of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Akira Saito, Hayato Uenohara, Hiroki Yoshinaga, Kazuhiro Konno, Masakuni Okada, Takeyuki Shimura

Patent number: 10834552Abstract: A device and related method are associated with a focus vehicle. The device comprises a sensor that senses area information about an information area usable to assist the focus vehicle and an oncoming vehicle to pass each other, and a transmitter that broadcasts the area information via a vehicle-to-vehicle network (V2VN) protocol. The device comprises a controller that is configured to collect, store, and share, via the V2VN, area information comprising passing information when on a narrow road, obstacle information when on a wide road, and passing obstacle information when on the narrow road. The device produces an assisting result from the area information and vehicle information related to the focus vehicle and the oncoming vehicle, and a display that displays virtual traffic information representing at least stopping and proceeding of the focus vehicle onto a windshield of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Akira Saito, Hayato Uenohara, Hiroki Yoshinaga, Kazuhiro Konno, Masakuni Okada, Takeyuki Shimura
