  • Patent number: 12358462
    Abstract: A passenger vehicle for travelling on a road includes: a processing unit; object sensors arranged on a plurality of locations in a plurality of directions with respect to a center of the passenger vehicle and capable of sensing an external object; and buffer forming devices arranged on a plurality of locations in a plurality of directions with respect to the center of the passenger vehicle, wherein the processing unit is connected to the object sensors and the buffer forming devices, and predicts a collision of the passenger vehicle with an external object by input from the object sensor, the processing unit predicts, when predicting a collision, the direction or location of the collision and causes a buffer forming device to form a buffer corresponding to the direction or location of the predicted collision, and thereby reducing an impact of the collision on the passengers by the buffer.

  • Patent number: 8902179
    Abstract: A mobile device-implemented method for providing a user of a mobile device having a touch screen a function to input a code into the mobile device among candidate codes, wherein the candidate codes are divided into a plurality of code series, the method comprising: (A) providing in the touch screen a first flick area, which is located in a ? side area at a side of a first lateral side of the touch screen, wherein each of the plurality of code series is associated with a corresponding flick action at the first flick area; (B) providing in the touch screen a second flick area, which is located in a ? side area at a side of a second lateral side of the touch screen; (C) detecting a first flick action at the first flick area to determine the code series; (D) detecting a second flick action at the second flick area. (G) determining a code to be inputted into the mobile device from a combination of the determined code series and the second flick action.
