Patents by Inventor Jerónimo Francisco PÉREZ REGIDOR

Jerónimo Francisco PÉREZ REGIDOR 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).

  • Publication number: 20240118373
    Abstract: The present disclosure is enclosed in the area of validation of vehicles in road tolls, which may also be designated as tolling systems. The prior art systems require the installation of a device —a camera and/or a wireless communication device—for each lane of a toll, in order to determine that a vehicle has crossed such lane of the toll. The present solution allows that, only with two fixed wireless devices which issue wireless beacons to be received by a mobile device, the lane which the vehicle crosses is still determinable. This also enables that each of the fixed wireless devices may be placed in locations of the toll which are accessible without closing the lane, and thereby does not require that the circulation of vehicles has to closed, whichever is the lane. The present solution thereby promotes retrofit in existing tolls with multiple lanes.

  • Patent number: 11715335
    Abstract: The present disclosure is enclosed in the area of validation of vehicles in road tolls, which may also be designated as tolling systems. The present disclosure includes an automated computational method for the determination of the validity of the passage of a vehicle in a toll which includes two detection modes of a vehicle, through optical means and a mobile device receiving a wireless beacon with unique information associated with the toll and subsequently in connection with a remote backend server. The wireless beacon is a simple type of message which does not require that the mobile device and a fixed wireless device establish a connection. Such feature is one particularly relevant in the applications of the present disclosure, as it highly improves the efficacy of the receipt of the unique information associated with the toll by the mobile device. The present disclosure further includes a corresponding system.
