  • Publication number: 20240244697
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Bluetooth communication method having automatic re-connection activating mechanism that includes steps outlined below. A first broadcast signal is transmitted by an electronic device such that a smart device receives and identifies the electronic device as a terminal device. An initial connection is established and pairing is performed with the smart device by the electronic device such that the smart device stores device related information of the electronic device. A second broadcast signal is transmitted by the electronic device such that the smart device receives the second broadcast signal and identifies the electronic device according to the device related information to further activate an auto-connection application program according to positioning beacon information included in the second broadcast signal.

  • Patent number: 11810370
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying curbs are discussed herein. For instance, a vehicle may generate sensor data using one or more sensors, where the sensor data represents points associated with a driving surface and a sidewalk. The vehicle may then quantize the points into distance bins that are located laterally along the driving direction of the vehicle in order to generate spatial lines. Next, the vehicle may determine separation points for the spatial lines, where the separation points are configured to separate the points associated with the driving surface from the points associated with the sidewalk. The vehicle may then generate, using the separation points, a curve that represents the curb between the driving surface and the sidewalk. This way, the vehicle may use the curve while navigating, such as to avoid the curb and/or stop at a location that is proximate to the curb.

  • Publication number: 20120278471
    Abstract: Disclosed are a communication device and a method of a communication device that includes processing by the controller a first scan for shared drives and folders on a wide local area network in accordance with a CIFS Protocol and then processing a second scan for shared drives and folders of a local wide area network in accordance with an Address Resolution Protocol. An Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a computer network host's link layer or hardware address when only it's Internet Layer (IP) or Network Layer address is known. An ARP port scan is a low level request and answer protocol that uses a simple message format that contains one address resolution request or response. IP addresses are the result of an ARP port scan. In this way, user can be provided with the opportunity to connect to all available local servers.
