  • Patent number: 10539957
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a vehicle to park remotely. The system includes a memory that stores instructions for executing processes for enabling a vehicle to park remotely, and a processor that executes the instructions. In some aspects, the instructions cause the processor to: analyze an image of the vehicle to identify a vehicle type; extract vehicle information related to the vehicle type; calculate a distance between a mobile device and the vehicle based on the vehicle information and a location of the mobile device; determine whether the mobile device is within a predetermined distance of the vehicle; and enable the vehicle to park remotely when the mobile device is within the predetermined distance.

  • Publication number: 20190272432
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for image recording includes receiving images of an environment surrounding a motorcycle from an imaging device disposed in a front section of the motorcycle. The imaging device is directed rearward with respect to the front section of the motorcycle. The method includes detecting a reflected image region in the images. The reflected image region is reflecting off a reflective surface worn by an operator of the motorcycle. The method includes detecting a front object in the environment surrounding the motorcycle based on the reflected image region.

  • Patent number: 10382879
    Abstract: Producing a virtual sound field may include receiving an audio signal associated with a remote sound source within a remote environment. The audio signal may be defined or recorded as a binaural recording and recorded from a remote set of binaural microphones. The audio signal may be indicative of a position of the remote sound source relative to the remote set of binaural microphones within the remote environment. Producing the virtual sound field may include determining a virtual position relative to the position of the remote sound source within the remote environment, generating a virtual sound field audio signal which simulates audio representing the remote sound source perceived from the virtual position within the remote environment relative to the position of the remote sound source within the remote environment, and playing back the virtual sound field to simulate the remote sound source as perceived from the virtual position.

  • Publication number: 20180189510
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the concurrent capture of first and second images by a mobile terminal and the subsequent viewing or sharing of the images. In the context of a method, an indication is received that first and second images have been captured concurrently by the mobile terminal. The first image is captured of a scene in a first direction from the mobile terminal. The second image is captured of a scene in a second direction from the mobile terminal, different from the first direction. The method also includes associating a security level with at least one of the first and second images to control access thereto. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10013024
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit a user to interact with a head mounted display, such as with the information presented upon a head mounted display. In the context of a method, a first input is received from a first touch sensor positioned upon a first portion of a head mounted display. The method also receives a second input from a second touch sensor positioned upon a second portion of the head mounted display. The second portion of the head mounted display is configured to be opposite the first portion relative to a user's head. The method also includes causing performance of an operation related to the head mounted display based upon a combination of both the first and second inputs.

  • Patent number: 10005386
    Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to an intermittent flashing taillight on a motorcycle that may be activated when a foot lever is actuated and a hand lever is actuated between on and off. The flashing sequences, which may be controlled by the driver, through directly actuating the hand lever between on and off, may be more easily discernable than a solid illuminated taillight found in current motorcycles. In an illustrative embodiment, the motorcycle may include a hand lever that is associated with a front brake and a foot lever that is associated with a rear brake. At least one taillight may be provided in the motorcycle. A controller on the motorcycle may intermittently flash the at least one taillight according to actuations of the hand lever between on and off and when the second lever is continuously actuated.

  • Publication number: 20060200302
    Abstract: Techniques for a navigation system realizing a large cost reduction and speedy on-demand functions of a portable terminal device are provided. In an embodiment of the present invention, a navigation system comprises a navigation terminal 3 for downloading and displaying information and a content server 1 for transmitting content generated based on position information of the navigation terminal 3 to the navigation terminal 3. The various applications and services delivered with the navigation terminal 3 utilize XOE 30 through the content server 1. As well as enhancing applications of the client terminal 3, starting a completely new service can be easily realized. Building a system into the XOE 30 in advance to deliver the new service through the content server 1 is not necessary. With the XOE 30, a favorite service can be started at any time without any preparations.
