Abstract: A system, device and method for wireless device localization using a differential evolution algorithm in a continuous trilateration process.

Abstract: Various methods and devices for vehicles are provided, wherein directional output of sound is used. In some embodiments, speech signals assigned to different speakers in a telephone conference are reproduced with different directional characteristics. In other embodiments, menu items of a menu are reproduced using different directions. In some embodiments, a loudspeaker arrangement may be provided at a dashboard or in a backrest of a seat of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle system for activating at least one vehicle component to provide access to a vehicle. A first receiver is operative to obtain a wireless signal at least comprising first identification data of an electronic device; a memory device storing at least second identification data; at least a second receiver being operative to check the presence of a matching vehicle access key, and the at least second receiver being operative to check the presence of a matching vehicle access key if the first identification data match the at least second identification data.

Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for generating and reproducing audio, were vehicle data, representing a vehicle characteristic, is produced and transmitted to a portable processing device communicatively coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle data is processed to determine a vehicle state and an audio generation application is invoked based on the determined vehicle state. The portable processing device receives user inputs representing physical inputs/manipulation, wherein audio is generated based on the user inputs. The portable processing device may be communicatively coupled to other portable devices, wherein user inputs from the other portable devices generate and/or modify audio.

In some embodiments, speech signals assigned to different speakers in a telephone conference are reproduced with different directional characteristics. In other embodiments, menu items of a menu are reproduced using different directions. In some embodiments, a loud-speaker arrangement may be provided at a dashboard or in a backrest of a seat of the vehicle.

Abstract: Mitigating disruption to a voice recognition system in a vehicle caused by a passing source of noise is provided. Sensors sense an approaching truck or the like that is likely to disrupt operation of the in-vehicle voice recognition system. Countermeasures are initiated to mitigate the disruption.
