Patent number: 11941978Abstract: Traffic signal timing plans are derived from vehicle trajectory or probe data. The probe data is collected and archived in a datastore over a sample time on the order of weeks or longer. Probe data is corrected for clock drift, geo-fence filtered to a selected intersection, and then stop line crossings in the intersection are identified and analyzed along with related data to determine the timing plans and schedule for the intersection. In this way, access to government agency timing plans is obviated so as to save time and expense.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TRAFFIC TECHNOLOGY SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Justin Michael Neill, Brandon Keith Sams, Jonah Aaron Pincetich, Darryl Joseph Michaud, Thomas Bauer, Jingtao Ma

Patent number: 11694542Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to collect biometric data of a vehicle user, identify a set of user-specific data from one or more stored sets of user-specific data based on the biometric data, and receive a request for a stored location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to display the requested location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user do not match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to identify an offset location based on the requested location and a population density of the requested location and display the offset location.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Patrick Brown, Thomas Lee Miller, Justin Bauer, Walter L. Stephens, Jr., Gary Jablonski

Patent number: 11516025Abstract: An advance pairing system preemptively pairs a phone to a vehicle using a backend cloud system prior to establishing the connection with the vehicle, such as during the time that a user is purchasing a vehicle, or just after the user enters the vehicle for the first time. The system includes a mobile application for automated advance pairing with the vehicle's automotive computer. The mobile app sends a request for advance pairing to a server that assigns a set of unique keys to the account for secure pairing of the mobile device and the vehicle. The server pushes an encrypted payload to both the mobile device app and the vehicle advance pairing app operating on the automotive computer. The encrypted payload can include a unique vehicle ID, a unique mobile device ID, and one or more encryption keys. The mobile device and the vehicle use the encrypted advance pairing information to establish a secured connection with minimal user input.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Justin Bauer, Thomas Miller, Simon Lidwell, Pietro Buttolo, James Stewart Rankin, II, Stephen Coe, Colin Ho, Robbie Maurice

Patent number: 11059440Abstract: A vehicle for automatically learning and recalling driver preferences includes a subsystem and a processor. The processor builds, for a user profile, an ideal range in which the subsystem has been adjusted over key cycles. For each instance in which the user profile is loaded, the processor causes the subsystem to adjust to the latest saved user adjustment of the subsystem. The processor save the current user adjustment in response to the current user adjustment of the subsystem being within the ideal range.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Patrick Brown, Justin Bauer, Thomas Lee Miller, Walter L.

Publication number: 20210152665Abstract: A system includes a mobile device having a processor and memory. The mobile device determines that a new vehicle is assigned to an identified owner and responsively initiates a settings configuration process. The configuration process includes presenting existing vehicle system settings from an existing vehicle that can be transferred to the new vehicle, receiving selection of settings to be transferred, receiving editing of settings to be transferred, presenting configurable vehicle system settings for the new vehicle that can be configured, receiving configuration of the settings, and saving selected, edited and newly configured settings to a data set, which is then uploaded to a server for transfer to the new vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2019Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Kay Hart, David Sanabria, Marc Mills, Patricia Piedrahita, Thomas Lee Miller, Justin Bauer, Anthony Trentacosti, Colin Ho

Patent number: 10357129Abstract: The invention is an apparatus used to divide existing cooking equipment into isolated areas to substantially reduce fluid or physical contact for preparing one or more types of food at once, to maximize existing baking equipment versatility. Features of the apparatus are a housing component; one or more arm components which attach or reside within the housing component. The one or more arm components are configured to expand and retract from the housing component and adjust to the shape of various cooking equipment. The base of the housing component and a base of the one or more arm components are effectively in a same horizontal plane so cooking equipment may be effectively partitioned. Each component within the design contains a magnet that facilitates the invention's ability to affix to cookware containing ferrous materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Inventor: Justin Bauer
