VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18387714 titled 'VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The abstract of this patent application describes a vehicle equipped with an autonomous vehicle sensor, an ultra-wideband (UWB) module, and a controller to detect objects around the vehicle and control the vehicle based on the position of a digital key.
- The vehicle has an autonomous vehicle sensor to detect objects around it.
- It includes a UWB module to receive signals from a digital key.
- The controller processes sensor data to determine the position of objects and the digital key.
- The vehicle's movements are controlled based on the position of the digital key.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Vehicle security systems - Fleet management solutions
Problems Solved: - Enhanced object detection for vehicle safety - Secure access control using digital keys
Benefits: - Improved safety for autonomous vehicles - Enhanced security features for vehicle access control - Efficient fleet management capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Vehicle Security and Access Control System" This technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, car rental services, and transportation companies to enhance security and streamline access control processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the UWB module enhance the functionality of the vehicle's access control system? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle may include: an autonomous vehicle sensor configured to detect an object located around the vehicle; an ultra wide band (UWB) module configured to receive a UWB signal transmitted from a digital key; and a controller configured to be electrically connected to the UWB module. The controller is configured to obtain sensor-based positioning information of the object located around the vehicle based on sensor data obtained by the autonomous vehicle sensor, obtain UWB-based positioning information of the digital key based on the UWB signal received in the UWB module, determine a position of the digital key based on the sensor-based positioning information of the object and the UWB-based positioning information of the digital key, and control the vehicle based on the determined position of the digital key.
