RADIO FREQUENCY SENSING IN A VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18044952 Titled 'RADIO FREQUENCY SENSING IN A VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract discusses the use of radio frequency (RF) sensing in vehicles to determine the status of the driver or other occupants. By utilizing existing radios in the vehicle, such as a Wi-Fi transceiver, RF sensing can be implemented without significant additional cost. This technology can be used to enhance safety features, such as detecting unattended children or pets in a vehicle, as well as monitoring driver alertness.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments described herein address these and other issues by providing radio frequency (RF) sensing to determine the status of a driver or other occupant of the vehicle. RF sensing may be provided by existing radios of a vehicle, such a Wi-Fi transceiver, and may therefore provide RF sensing functionality to a vehicle with little added cost. RF sensing can be leveraged to implement safety features such as detecting an unattended child or pet in a vehicle, detecting driver alertness, and the like.
