Christian Kursawe has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10615830
    Abstract: The application relates to a device and to a method for detecting a Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) signal in a motor vehicle, in particular having a module with a “C2X” communication system and/or “Car2Car” communication system of a motor vehicle, wherein after amplitude demodulation of a received signal, one or more properties of the received signal are examined by a protocol detector.

  • Patent number: 8989753
    Abstract: A method for allocating a transmission signal to a transmission channel which has a transmission bandwidth and a rated center frequency and which is established between a radio transmitter and a radio receiver has the steps: emitting the transmission signal on the radio transmitter end with an actual transmitter frequency; receiving the transmission signal in the radio receiver; determining the frequency of the transmission signal in the radio receiver; and deciding on the allocation of the transmission signal to a transmission channel if the frequency determined by the radio receiver lies in a predetermined frequency range.

  • Patent number: 8653955
    Abstract: A method for exchanging information between a vehicle (1) and a mobile ID provider (11) has the following process steps: transmitting status request signals of the ID provider (11) to a communications device (21) in the vehicle having a prescribed period, wherein the periodically occurring action has the status request signal and a predefined pause, —activating the communications device (21) in the vehicle in case of alarm in a receiving mode, receiving the status request signal of the ID provider (11) by the activated communications device (21) in the vehicle, —transmitting an alarm message by the communications device (21) in the vehicle to the mobile ID provider (11); and display of the alarm signal on the ID provider (11). The method is particularly suited for the display of alarm messages of a vehicle on a mobile ID provider.

  • Patent number: 8588716
    Abstract: In a method for searching for signals among interference signals in a multi-channel radio receiver, at least two different data signals are transmitted on at least one physical channel of a radio system to a common receiver. The search for a signal is initiated on any channel, starting with a sequential search of a useful signal by measuring the current signal strength in the form of the RSSI value; a search is made for a signal criterion of the signal and when said criterion has been identified, the measured RSSI value is compared with a predefined RSSI threshold value; if the RSSI threshold value is exceeded, the search for a signal is switched to a search for a data frame and if a data frame is found, the useful data is read; if no signal criterion is identified, if the RSSI threshold value is not exceeded and if no data frame is found, the procedure is interrupted and a new search operation is initiated once a new RSSI threshold value has been defined.
