  • Patent number: 11195195
    Abstract: Various applications, systems and methods for using, and enhancing V2V communications for various purposes are described. These systems and methods leverage various aspects of satellite radio broadcasts in combination with V2V communications. In some embodiments, V2V-enabled vehicles can receive advertisements or offers from RSEs, or even other V2V enabled vehicles, in a defined Target Region, which may then be played to a user in-vehicle once a given Trigger Region has been entered. By logging all advertisements or offers played to a user and sending the log to an RSE, for example, and from there to a content provider (e.g., an SDARS service operator), verified delivery of advertisements is achieved, which allows the content provider to obtain significant revenues from advertisers.

  • Patent number: 11182647
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for tracking includes capturing a first frame of the environment using a first camera, identifying, in the first frame, a first patch that corresponds to the first feature, accessing a first local memory of the first camera that stores reference patches identified in one or more previous frames captured by the first camera, and determining that none of the reference patches stored in the first local memory corresponds to the first feature. The method further includes receiving, from a second camera through a data link connecting the second camera with the first camera, a reference patch corresponding to the first feature. The reference patch is identified in a previous frame captured by the second camera and of the second camera. The method may then determine correspondence data between the first patch and the reference patch, and tracks the first feature in the environment based on the determined correspondence data.
