  • Publication number: 20230379676
    Abstract: An electronic device is located in a transportation means and includes an ECU, a first and a second short-distance wireless communication module, wherein between which a distance is a first distance. When no interference, the second short-distance wireless communication module receives a first message broadcast by the first short-distance wireless communication module. When interference, the second short-distance wireless communication module does not receive the first message, and sends a notification message to the ECU; and the ECU indicates the first short-distance wireless communication module to increase a transmit power until the second short-distance wireless communication module receives the first message. Therefore, the first message can be received only when a distance between a mobile device and the transportation means is less than or equal to the first distance, so as to send a first response message, so that the electronic device controls the transportation means to perform a specific function.

  • Patent number: 10142903
    Abstract: A relay gateway device includes a processor and a storage, in which when a packet transmission is performed between a first mobile device and a second mobile device and the second mobile device switches from the relay gateway device to another, the IP address of the second mobile device changes from a former IP address to a current IP address. When the first mobile device transmits a first packet to the second mobile device in which the destination address of the first packet is the former IP address, the processor of the relay gateway device modifies the destination address of the first packet into the current IP address according to the former IP address and the current IP address of the second mobile device in a list of the storage and then transmits the first packet to the second mobile device, thereby achieving a seamless transmission during handover.
