Application: Abnormality determination system (Patent ID: US20240208515A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes an abnormality determination system that involves a first apparatus and a server apparatus. The first apparatus is responsible for determining the validity of a certificate from a second apparatus and identifying abnormalities based on the information received. If an abnormality is detected, the first apparatus transmits this information along with an evaluation value to the server apparatus. The server apparatus then decides whether to revoke the certificate of the second apparatus based on the received information and evaluation value. The system aims to enhance security and reliability by monitoring abnormal activities and taking necessary actions.
Furthermore, the patent outlines various aspects of the abnormality determination system, including the evaluation value indicating the impact of the abnormality on the first apparatus, the use of the system in mobile objects like vehicles or drones, and the criteria for determining abnormalities based on changes in position, speed, or angle information. The system also includes mechanisms for updating revocation lists, transmitting revocation information, and managing certificates. By incorporating these features, the abnormality determination system ensures efficient monitoring and response to abnormalities, ultimately improving the overall security and performance of the connected devices.
