  • Patent number: 12677117
    Abstract: A method for operating a determination unit (DUb) of a personal mobile terminal or a device with a user interface (UIb). In one example, the method includes receiving, via at least one communication channel (CHb) between the determination unit (DUb) and a control unit (CUb) of a vehicle (BICb), at least one sensor information; determining at least one status information associated with the vehicle (BICb) based on the received at least one sensor information; and transmitting, via the at least one communication channel between the determination unit (DUb) and the control unit (CUb), the at least one determined status information associated with the vehicle (BICb).

  • Publication number: 20260040200
    Abstract: A portable electronic device (UEa) that includes determining means to determine a coupling state that indicates a communicative coupling or communicative non-coupling of the portable electronic device with a control unit of a vehicle; receiving, from the control unit (CUa), via the communication channel (CHa) between the portable electronic device (UEa) and the control unit (CUa), a capability information (c_CUa) associated with the vehicle (BICa), the portable electronic device (UEa) is configured to attend to a variety of differently configured types of devices (vehicles, VRUs) based on the received capability information (c_Cua); and transmitting, from the portable electronic device (UEa) to a radio access node (gNB), via a radio control channel (RRCH), at least one capability information (UECapabilityInformation) including capability parameters associated with the portable electronic device.
