Abstract
A vehicle includes: a communication unit performing communication with a remote control device and receiving an instruction signal for remotely controlling a driving operation of the vehicle from the remote control device; a position acquiring unit detecting a position of the remote control device when the communication unit receives the instruction signal from the remote control device; and a controller restricting the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle based on the detected position of the remote control device.
Claims20
A vehicle, comprising:
- a communication unit performing communication with a remote control device and receiving an instruction signal for remotely controlling a driving operation of the vehicle from the remote control device;
- a position acquiring unit detecting a position of the remote control device when the communication unit receives the instruction signal from the remote control device;
- and
- a controller restricting the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle based on the detected position of the remote control device,
- wherein the controller estimates a moving path for the driving operation of the vehicle, and restricts the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle when the remote control device is determined to be located along the moving path.
A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, by a communication unit, an instruction signal for remotely controlling a driving operation of the vehicle from a remote control device;
- detecting, by a position acquiring unit, a position of the remote control device when the communication unit receives the instruction signal from the remote control device;
- estimating, by a controller, a moving path for the driving operation of the vehicle;
- and
- restricting, by the controller, the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle based on the detected position of the remote control device,
- wherein the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle is restricted when the remote control device is determined to be located along the moving path.
An apparatus for controlling a vehicle, equipped within the vehicle, comprising a processing system having at least one data processor and at least one memory storing a computer program, wherein the processing system is configured to cause the apparatus to:
- receive an instruction signal for remotely controlling a driving operation of the vehicle from a remote control device;
- detect a position of the remote control device in response to receiving the instruction signal from the vehicle;
- estimate a moving path for the driving operation of the vehicle;
- and
- restrict the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle based on the detected position of the remote control device,
- wherein the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle is restricted when the remote control device is determined to be located along the moving path.
