Provided are an acceleration control system, a method, and a program for preventing the occurrence of a traffic accident due to misapplication of an accelerator and a brake or a malfunction or the like of an autonomous driving system, which can be realized more easily than in conventional techniques and which is highly reliable. The automobile acceleration control system comprises a voice recognition means that recognizes voice emitted within the automobile, and the acceleration control system allows the automobile to accelerate only when the voice recognition means has recognized a word which has been registered in advance or a word having a feature which has been learned in advance. The acceleration control method comprises a voice recognition step of recognizing voice emitted within an automobile, and the voice recognition step allows the automobile to accelerate only when the voice recognition means has recognized a word which has been registered in advance or a word having a feature which has been learned in advance. The program is a program for causing a computer to execute the acceleration control method.

Dear Sirs/Madams,

After engaging in research and development at the Japan Ministry of Defense, I am currently engaged in research and development of new products and technical advisor of a company.

My invention titled “AUTOMOBILE ACCELERATION CONTROL SYSTEM, METHOD, AND PROGRAM” has already been registered as a patent right in Japan. The patent number is Japanese Patent No. 6644455.

The present invention is applied not only to conventional engine vehicles and electric vehicles, but also to automatic driving systems. As stated in the statement as follows, it may be good to amend the claim if necessary.

“[0001]…………Note that the present invention for controlling the acceleration of an automobile using voice recognition can be applied to an automatic operation. In this case, the present invention relates to an acceleration control system, a method, and a program for preventing the occurrence of a traffic accident caused by a malfunction of an automatic driving system, rather than an error of an accelerator and a brake.
…………
[0018]Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an acceleration control system, a method, and a program for preventing the occurrence of a traffic accident due to an error in an accelerator and a brake or a malfunction of an automatic driving system, which can be realized more easily and is highly reliable.”

The outline of [Claim 1] of the patent right (Japan Patent No. 6644455, PCT/JP2020/026532) is as follows:
It is an acceleration control system for automobiles equipped with voice recognition means.
The voice recognition means recognizes that the driver has uttered a word having the characteristics of the driver's utterance when the accelerator is depressed.
The characteristics of this driver's utterance are acquired by learning in advance.
It is an acceleration control system characterized in that the automobile can be accelerated only when the voice recognition means recognizes the word.

The Written Opinion of the International Searching Authority (WO/ISA) showed that this idea was a unique invention, as follows:
The invention according to claim 1-15 has novelty and inventive step with respect to References 1-3 cited in the international search report (Reference 1: JP 2010-59820, Reference 2: JP 2005-280584, Reference 3: JP 2014-41450).
The acceleration control system according to claim 1 is provided with voice recognition means for recognizing that the driver has uttered a word having the characteristics of the driver's utterance when the accelerator is depressed, which is learned in advance. The limitation that "the car was allowed to accelerate only when the speech recognition means recognizes the word" is neither disclosed nor suggested in any of the documents cited in the international research report.

The patented invention can be used not only to prevent accidents caused by mistakes, but also to prevent theft of luxury cars.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know.
I look forward hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Dr. Iwata
