Application: Motion-based transport assessment (Patent ID: US20240104973A1)
The patent filed by Toyota Motor Corp. describes a method and system for detecting issues with a moving vehicle by comparing current data (such as images or videos) captured by the vehicle with historical data obtained from a server. The process involves analyzing the data, determining an initial issue, verifying the existence of the issue based on a threshold delta between the two sets of data, and sending the verified issue to the server for further action. The system can be used to monitor the normal operation or appearance of the vehicle, notify occupants of any verified issues, and potentially alleviate issues in autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles. Additionally, the use of smart contracts stored on a blockchain is proposed for verifying the delta and reaching a consensus between the vehicle and the server.
Overall, the invention aims to improve the monitoring and maintenance of moving vehicles by leveraging data analysis and comparison techniques. By utilizing historical data from a server, issues can be detected and addressed promptly, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the vehicle. The system is designed to be adaptable for different types of vehicles, including autonomous or semi-autonomous ones, and incorporates advanced technologies like smart contracts and blockchain for secure and reliable verification processes. This innovation represents a significant step towards enhancing the overall performance and reliability of vehicles through intelligent data-driven monitoring systems.
