  • Patent number: 11950016
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control method of a receiver. The control method includes the steps of: when the receiver enters a sleep/standby mode, continually detecting an auxiliary signal from an auxiliary channel to generate a detection result; and if the detection result indicates that the auxiliary signal has a preamble or a specific pattern, generating a wake-up control signal to wake up the receiver before successfully receiving the auxiliary signal having a wake-up command.

  • Patent number: 9821802
    Abstract: A composite autonomous driving assistant system for making decision and a method of using the same is provided. A longitudinal-controlling autonomous driving assistant device and a lateral-controlling autonomous driving assistant device start to automatically assist in driving a vehicle. Then, a sensing device senses states of the vehicle and an environment and generates one sensing signal. When a controller determines that the collision period is less than a preset collision period and that a deceleration signal of the sensing signal is larger than a preset deceleration, the controller generates a turn-stopping signal. When the controller determines that a turn angle signal of the sensing signal is larger than a preset angle, the controller generates a speed-stopping signal. The system establishes a switching threshold condition when the plurality autonomous driving assistant devices coexist.

  • Patent number: 9517755
    Abstract: An autonomous braking system includes a detecting module, a tracing module, a collision path prediction module, a memory register, a collision time prediction module and a decision module. The detecting module recognizes multiple objects located ahead of a vehicle, and then the tracing module traces the moving objects. The collision path prediction module is used to obtain a possible collision range and a non-collision range. The memory register records the coordinate of the objects located within the possible collision range. When one of the objects moves out of the possible collision range, its data is instantaneously removed from the memory register. The collision time prediction module predicts a collision time between the vehicle and each of the objects. The decision module determines if a brake assist is activated in accordance with the collision time.

  • Publication number: 20140176714
    Abstract: A collision prevention warning method and device capable of tracking a moving object, the method comprises the following steps. Firstly, capturing a plurality of continuous images in a front region of 180 degrees, through identifying category of at least an obstacle in these continuous images, to find a moving obstacle. Next, detect continuous relative positions of the moving obstacle and vehicle, to estimate a first collision region of the vehicle. Then, based on the continuous relative positions and an Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm, to estimate a second collision region of the moving obstacle. Finally, based on the first collision region and the second collision region to calculate a collision point. When the first collision region and the second collision region at least partially overlap each other, estimate out a collision time, and then output an alarm signal to warn the driver and raise driving safety.
