  • Patent number: 10466366
    Abstract: A vehicle cooperative object positioning optimization method includes steps of: receiving an information package by the local vehicle and the information package having a vehicle original coordinate and at least one object original coordinate provided by a neighbor vehicle; performing a time delay compensation for the vehicle original coordinate and the object original coordinate to acquire a vehicle coordinate and an object coordinate of the neighbor vehicle respectively; performing an optimizing procedure to optimize the vehicle coordinate and the object coordinate respectively so as to obtain the vehicle optimized coordinate and the object optimized coordinate. Therefore, the vehicle optimized coordinate and the object optimized coordinate possess higher accuracy than the original coordinate information detected by the GPS receiver and other sensors. And that helps to determine a distribution of the environmental objects with improved precision and to enhance driving safety.

  • Publication number: 20190180623
    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 vehicular region spans double a length of the dimensions of the second vehicle along the direction of the second vehicle. 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.

  • Publication number: 20060286990
    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.
