Patent number: 12293542Abstract: A system and method for locating a trailer coupler on a trailer to assist with the coupling of the trailer coupler to a vehicle hitch on a vehicle. The system includes a human-machine interface, a camera, a global positioning system, a remote computing system, a vehicle-to-infrastructure communication network, controllers, a memory, sensors, and a trailer coupler labeling application. The trailer coupler labeling application includes: sensing at least one of a hitched state and an unhitched state of the trailer coupler, capturing an optical data with the camera when the vehicle hitch is in the hitched and unhitched state, determining a distance of the trailer coupler relative to the camera when the vehicle hitch is in the hitched state, identifying the location of the trailer coupler on an image defined by the captured data and creating a label on the image of the trailer coupler.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2023Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Bo Yu, Jiabin Shen, Kamran Ali, Kenneth Weber, Guanyang Luo

Patent number: 11005760Abstract: An approach is provided that selects a geographic location to which transmission of a data packet is disallowed. The approach identifies disallowed network devices that reside in the selected geographic location and builds a routing path through a public computer network through an allowed set of network devices with the allowed set of network devices not including any of the disallowed network devices. The approach then transmits the data packet from a transmitting network device to a receiving network device using the routing path.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Barnes, John Delaney, Alexander J.
