  • Patent number: 11643102
    Abstract: A vehicle dash cam may be configured to execute one or more neural networks (and/or other artificial intelligence), such as based on input from one or more of the cameras and/or other sensors associated with the dash cam, to intelligently detect safety events in real-time. Detection of a safety event may trigger an in-cab alert to make the driver aware of the safety risk. The dash cam may include logic for determining which asset data to transmit to a backend server in response to detection of a safety event, as well as which asset data to transmit to the backend server in response to analysis of sensor data that did not trigger a safety event. The asset data transmitted to the backend server may be further analyzed to determine if further alerts should be provided to the driver and/or to a safety manager.

  • Patent number: 11632211
    Abstract: A positioning node determines a muting configuration used by one or more base stations for controlling muting of positioning reference signals. The positioning reference signals are transmitted at recurring positioning occasions from the one or more base stations to radio equipment in a wireless communication network. The muting configuration is determined from signaling received from the one or more base stations. The positioning node sends the muting configuration information as higher-layer signaling for receipt by the radio equipment receiving the positioning reference signals. The muting configuration information includes a muting occasion parameter indicating positioning occasions to which muting applies, and each of the positioning occasions comprise two or more consecutive subframes that repeat at a predetermined periodicity.
