  • Patent number: 11631322
    Abstract: A collaborative control system for a vehicle has a cloud server, a collaboration device, and an edge computing device. The cloud server stores road coordinates and traffic data corresponding to the road coordinates. The collaboration device is for being mounted in the vehicle. The edge computing device communicates with the cloud server and the collaboration device and is for being mounted in the vehicle. The edge computing device downloads one of the traffic data from the cloud server as an instant traffic datum according to a vehicle positioning coordinate corresponding to one of the road coordinates, and transmits the instant traffic datum to the collaboration device. The collaboration device displays the instant traffic datum.

  • Publication number: 20230079801
    Abstract: A portable device for vehicle-information integration and warning is mounted in a vehicle and has a body, a ring-type warning light, a first communication interface, a second communication interface, and a processor. The body has a display mounted on a surface of the body. The ring-type warning light surrounds the display. The first communication interface communicates with a dashboard system of the vehicle. The second communication interface communicates with an edge computing device. The processor receives dashboard data from the dashboard system and drives the display to display a dashboard-information screen. When the processor receives a traffic datum from the edge computing device, the processor drives the display to display a traffic warning message. Besides, the processor drives the ring-type warning light according to the dashboard data or the traffic datum.

  • Publication number: 20220242314
    Abstract: A rearview safety warning device of a vehicle has a rearview mirror assembly, a display unit, a wireless transmission unit, and a processing unit. The rearview mirror assembly has a mirror having a mirror-surface area and a display area. The display unit displays a warning information through the display area of the mirror. The wireless transmission unit communicates with a mobile device via a wireless communication technique. The processing unit is signally connected to the display unit and the wireless transmission unit. The processing unit receives a traffic data from the mobile device via the wireless transmission unit and activates the display unit to display the warning information according to the traffic data.

  • Patent number: 10464515
    Abstract: A method for motorcycle accident detection and notification utilizes a wireless communication device and a motorcycle including an instrument system and an overturn detection system. The wireless communication device can be a portable wireless communication device carried by the motorcycle driver or a built-in wireless communication device of the motorcycle. The followings steps are executed. Obtain the motorcycle speeds and the corresponding time point data. Detect whether the motorcycle is overturned, and if affirmative, the overturn sensor sends out an overturning signal and then the instrument system, by comparing the differences between the speeds before and after the overturning signal is generated, determines whether an accident is to be notified. If affirmative, an accident signal is sent to the wireless communication device which will then send accident notification messages to emergency contact persons, thereby enabling them to inform the police and to rescue the motorcycle driver.

  • Publication number: 20190210683
    Abstract: A meter integration system, applied to a motorcycle/scooter, has a processing unit, a memory unit, a vehicular data receiving unit, a wireless communication unit and a digital dashboard. An instrument display area of the digital dashboard can display a general mode user interface and a navigation mode user interface which are mutually switchable. An indicator area is beside the instrument display area, wherein the vehicular data receiving unit can obtain the vehicular information of the motorcycle/scooter and the vehicular information of the motorcycle/scooter shown in the general mode user interface and the indicator area. The wireless communication unit can obtain navigation data and satellite positioning coordinates provided by wireless communication devices such as smart phones, or the satellite positioning coordinates can be obtained through a satellite positioning unit in the meter integration system to provide navigation functions under the navigation mode user interface.
