Patent number: 11979789Abstract: A communication system with a master device configured to determine location information in real-time with respect to a portable device. The master device may direct one or more monitor devices to monitor communications that occur over a primary communication link. The monitor devices may sense characteristic information about the signal from the portable device, and communicate this characteristic information to the master device via an auxiliary communication link. The communication system may determine location of the portable device, authenticate the portable device, determine whether the portable device is authorized to allow or initiate an action, and command or enable an action with respect to equipment.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Raymond Michael Stitt, Eric Smith, Michael Stroud, Robert Hartman, Karl Jager, Antonio Fominaya, IV

Patent number: 11379386Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and include receiving, with a peripheral device, a message packet from a portable device, the message packet including an authenticated packet with a de-whitened tone byte inserted therein. The portable device generates first message authentication code (MAC) bytes based on a shared secret key and generates the authenticated packet based on the first MAC bytes, first nonce bytes, and a message byte. The peripheral device validates the message packet in response to determining that the first MAC bytes match second MAC bytes and that the first nonce bytes match second nonce bytes. The peripheral device generates a reconstructed message packet in response to validating the message packet by removing the de-whitened tone byte from the authenticated packet. The communication gateway establishes a communication link between the portable device and the communication gateway in response to receiving the reconstructed message packet.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignees: DENSO International America, Inc., DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Raymond Michael Stitt, Thomas Peterson, Karl Jager, Kyle Golsch

Patent number: 11237244Abstract: A system and method are disclosed and include receiving a wireless signal. The method includes generating a first and second set of digital data that are representative of the wireless signal. The method includes obtaining a first and second sample that is representative of a cosine and sine component, respectively, of a pre-known portion of the first set. The method includes obtaining a third and fourth sample that is representative of a cosine and sine component, respectively, of a pre-known portion of the second set. The method includes determining a first phase angle value based on an amplitude of the first and second samples and a second phase angle based on an amplitude of the third and fourth samples. The method includes determining an angle of arrival based on a difference between the first and second phase angle values.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignees: DENSO International America, Inc., DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Karl Jager, Raymond Michael Stitt
