ANTENNA DEVICE FOR VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149341 titled 'ANTENNA DEVICE FOR VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle antenna apparatus that includes an array antenna with multiple antenna elements and a processor. The processor is programmed to obtain information about the position of a user in the vehicle using a sensor, adjust the phase of radio wave signals based on the user's position, and control the array antenna to output the phase-adjusted signals.

  • The processor obtains information about the user's position using a sensor.
  • The phase of radio wave signals is adjusted based on the user's position.
  • The array antenna is controlled to output the phase-adjusted signals.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in vehicles to improve the reception and transmission of radio signals.
  • It can enhance the performance of communication systems in vehicles, such as GPS, cellular, and satellite communication.
  • The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles to optimize signal reception and transmission for improved navigation and communication.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of suboptimal signal reception and transmission in vehicles due to the presence of obstacles or interference.
  • It addresses the issue of signal degradation caused by the position of the user within the vehicle.
  • The technology solves the challenge of maintaining a consistent and reliable connection in mobile communication systems.

Benefits

  • By adjusting the phase of radio wave signals, the technology improves the accuracy and reliability of communication systems in vehicles.
  • It enhances the user experience by providing better signal quality for various applications, including navigation, entertainment, and emergency communication.
  • The technology optimizes signal propagation within the vehicle, reducing the impact of obstacles and interference on signal strength and quality.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle antenna apparatus installed in a vehicle is provided. The vehicle antenna apparatus includes an array antenna including a plurality of antenna elements, and a processor configured to perform at least one instruction. The processor is configured to obtain, based on a sensing result of a sensor for sensing a position of a user riding in the vehicle, information about the position of the user, adjust, based on the information about the position of the user, a phase of at least one radio wave signal such that a position of a radiation pattern formed by the at least one radio wave signal output from the plurality of antenna elements and the position of the user riding in the vehicle vary from each other, and control the array antenna to output the at least one phase-adjusted radio wave signal.
