Patent number: 11926259Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods that may include receiving situational information triggering a need to alert the driver and in response to the need to alert the driver presenting an alert to the driver based on driver state information selected based on a likelihood the driver will be more receptive to the alert modality than others of the plurality of alert modalities. The likelihood the driver will be receptive to the alert modality may be based on the received situational information, the received driver state information, and a historical behaviour record. The historical behaviour record may correlate the driver's reaction or the reaction of other drivers to previous alerts presented to the driver or other drivers with similar driver state information and similar situational information triggering presentation of previous alerts. The system may learn from the reaction of the driver and/or other drivers to better select suitable alert modalities.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Arriver Software LLCInventors: Nicholas Frank Joo, Rachel Gray Alexander, Shabin Mahadevan

Patent number: 11919532Abstract: A system for comparing driver intent and a gear setting of a vehicle comprises a driver monitoring system including at least one driver monitoring sensor configured to capture attributes of the driver indicative of driver intent regarding an intended direction of travel. The system also comprises an evaluation processor configured to access driver data from the driver monitoring system. The evaluation processor is also configured to generate a mismatch signal in response to determining a mismatch between the driver intent and a gear setting of the vehicle. The evaluation processor may also be configured to control braking and/or acceleration of the vehicle in response to determining a mismatch between the driver intent and a gear setting of the vehicle. The system may also use data regarding an object within a threshold distance from a front or a rear of the vehicle, and/or a requested acceleration above a threshold amount.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Arriver Software LLCInventors: Jacob Pusheck, Joshua Forwerck, Kristie Hargreaves

Patent number: 11912313Abstract: An apparatus comprises an interface and a control circuit. The interface may be configured to receive a plurality of sensor signals from a vehicle platform of a vehicle and present one or more control signals to the vehicle platform. The control circuit may be configured to (i) detect whether an attention state of a driver is in an attentive state or an inattentive state in response to one or more of the plurality of sensor signals from the vehicle platform during a first window having a first duration, (ii) assess whether the driver is sufficiently attentive by monitoring the one or more of the plurality of sensor signals from the vehicle platform and determining whether changes in the attention state of the driver during a second window having a second duration that is longer than the first duration exceeds a threshold, and (iii) when the threshold is exceeded, transition operation of the vehicle to the driver and safely discontinue an automation system function of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Arriver Software LLCInventors: Rachel Alexander, Shabin Mahadevan

Patent number: 11904783Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle microphone activation and/or identification of incoming speech-to-text data by the location of the speaking occupant. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a plurality of microphones, each of which may be linked with a particular occupant/seat in the vehicle. The system may be configured to link incoming STT data with a particular microphone/occupant. This may be done by an explicit trigger from an occupant or by actuation of a button or other actuation means by a vehicle occupant. The STT data may then be processed using the location data.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Arriver Software LLCInventors: Stefan Andersson, Olof Hugo Eriksson, Philippe Vincent

Patent number: 11686582Abstract: An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive area data and sensor data from a plurality of vehicle sensors. The processor may be configured to extract road characteristics for a location from the area data, predict expected sensor readings at the location for the plurality of sensors based on the road characteristics, calculate dynamic limits for the sensor data in response to the expected sensor readings and determine a plausibility of the sensor data received from the interface when the vehicle reaches the location. The sensor data may be plausible if the sensor data is within the dynamic limits. A confidence level of the sensor data may be adjusted in response to the plausibility of the sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Arriver Software LLCInventors: William M. Leach, Kurt Pauli, Sylvia Pietzsch

Patent number: 11514789Abstract: Systems and methods for providing illumination-based object tracking information within a host vehicle. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a remote object detection module and an illumination display pattern within the vehicle comprising one or more light sources defining a pattern. The illumination display pattern may be configured to dynamically change in accordance with one or more objects being detected and/or tracked by the remote object detection module to convey visible information to vehicle occupants regarding such object(s).Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Arriver Software LLCInventors: Stefan Andersson, Annika Frida Linnea Larsson, Carl-Johan Palsson
