Publication number: 20190179588Abstract: Alternative display options for vehicle telltales are disclosed. In one aspect, a fault condition in a telltale is detected, and the telltale is presented through a secondary display system in the vehicle, potentially bypassing any local control unit for the secondary display system. For example, a video telltale may be presented on an infotainment display after detection of a fault in the original telltale. By presenting the telltale in an alternate display, the operator remains informed of sensor conditions in the automobile and may take remedial action to fix the fault as well as any conditions which trigger a telltale.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2019Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Jeffrey Hao Chu, Rahul Gulati, Behnam Katibian, Alex Jong, Robert Hardacker, Reza Kakoee

Publication number: 20190132555Abstract: Methods and systems to broadcast sensor outputs in an automotive environment allow sensors such as cameras to output relatively unprocessed (raw) data to two or more different processing circuits where the processing circuits are located in separate and distinct embedded control units (ECUs). A first one of the two or more different processing circuits processes the raw data for human consumption. A second one of the two or more different processing circuits processes the raw data for machine utilization such as for autonomous driving functions. Such an arrangement allows for greater flexibility in utilization of the data from the sensors without imposing undue latency in the processing stream and without compromising key performance indices for human use and machine use.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: Jeffrey Hao Chu, Rahul Gulati, Robert Hardacker, Alex Jong, Mohammad Reza Kakoee, Behnam Katibian, Anshuman Saxena, Sanjay Vishin, Sanat Kapoor

Publication number: 20060161691Abstract: A method for synchronously executing a plurality of commands generated by a first module and executed at a second module, wherein the first and second modules communicate through a communication link, is provided. The method includes generating the commands at the first module, transmitting the commands through the link to the second module, and associating the execution time of the commands with an independent event at the second module. When the independent event is detected, the commands are executed synchronously at the second module. The method can be specifically applied to a baseband processor controlling a camera through a camera interface module, wherein the processor and the camera interface module are connected through an MDDI link. An example of a baseband processor controlling a camera through a Pathfinder camera module interface module is described. Specific built-in mechanisms of the camera module interface that enable flexible implementation of the method are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Inventors: Behnam Katibian, George Wiley
