  • Patent number: 11017670
    Abstract: Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication through short range communication techniques can be extended by sending messages from a host vehicle to a target vehicle using an intermediate vehicle. The host vehicle identifies road conditions which may be of interest to a target vehicle. An intermediate vehicle relays the message detailing the identified road conditions from the host vehicle to the target vehicle. The message can be rebroadcast by the intermediate vehicle to target vehicles in its communication range, or it can generate a new message to transmit the information to target vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11019450
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a directional awareness audio communication system and method. The system may include remote speaker/transmitting device(s) and listener/receiving device(s). The speaker/transmitting device(s) may send real-time location information with audio or separate from the audio to the listener/receiving device(s). The listener/receiving device(s) use the speaker/transmitting device(s) location information relative to the listener/receiving device location and orientation to perform audio processing on the transmitted audio signal. The listener/receiving device(s) provide the processed audio signal in stereo (i.e., at least two speakers such as left and right headphones, vehicle speakers, control center speakers, surround sound speakers, etc.) to a user of the listener/receiving device. The listener/receiving device(s) provides a warning and outputs standard audio if the real-time location information of the speaker/transmitting device(s) is unavailable or unreliable.
