Abstract: The present invention discloses a collision prediction method and device. The device comprises a communication device and a central processor, which are installed in a first vehicle. The communication device receives vehicular information of a second vehicle and transmits the vehicular information to the central processor. According to the position, speed, direction and dimensions of the second vehicle, the central processor generates a vehicular region with a collision point being the center.

The central processor moves the vehicular region by a GPS offset to generate a movement range and generates a collision area according to the movement range. The present invention uses the collision point, the dimensions of the second vehicle and the spatial error to estimate the collision area to effectively increase the accuracy of predicting collision.

Abstract: A message validity determining method is applied to a wireless network for allowing a user to know whether a connection-established message emitted by a wireless base station are correct after the user has input an encryption parameter in an information equipment and the information equipment has been connected to the wireless network. When receiving the connection-established message, the information equipment emits a testing message to the wireless base station. If the wireless base station replies with a test-replying message, the information equipment is determined to be connected to the wireless base station. Therefore, validity of the connection-established message is determined according to a mechanism of whether the wireless base station replies with the test-replying message after receiving the testing message, so that subsequent operations can be properly taken, such that the user is not confused or misled by simply receiving the connection-established message from the wireless base station.
