Vehicle Assistance Apparatus And Vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle assistance apparatus comprising:
- an interface unit configured to receive information regarding an electric current provided to a brake lamp of a vehicle;
an object detection unit configured to detect an object outside the vehicle; and
a processor configured to;
determine, based on the detected object, a speed of the vehicle;
determine, based on the determined speed of the vehicle and the information regarding the electric current provided to the brake lamp of the vehicle, whether the vehicle undergoes acceleration during a braking operation of the vehicle; and
provide, based on a determination that the vehicle undergoes acceleration during the braking operation of the vehicle, a control signal to restrict further acceleration of the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle assistance apparatus includes an interface unit configured to receive information regarding an electric current provided to a brake lamp of a vehicle. The vehicle assistance apparatus also includes an object detection unit configured to detect an object outside the vehicle, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine, based on the detected object, a speed of the vehicle and also determine, based on the speed of the vehicle and the information regarding the electric current provided to the brake lamp of the vehicle, whether the vehicle undergoes acceleration during a braking operation of the vehicle. The processor is further configured to provide, based on a determination that the vehicle undergoes acceleration during the braking operation of the vehicle, a control signal to restrict further acceleration of the vehicle.

14. A vehicle assistance apparatus comprising:
-
an object detection unit configured to detect an object outside a vehicle; a communication unit configured to receive an image obtained by an adjacent vehicle; and a processor configured to; determine, based on the object detected outside the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle, detect, in the received image, an on-state or an off-state of a brake lamp of the vehicle, determine, based on the determined speed of the vehicle and the on-state or the off-state of the brake lamp, whether the vehicle undergoes acceleration during a braking operation of the vehicle, and provide, based on a determination that the vehicle undergoes acceleration during the braking operation of the vehicle, a control signal to restrict further acceleration of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
