Patent number: 11174665Abstract: A method and system for a camera based hands free power liftgate is described herein. The system may power on following a key approach and/or the doors unlocking and then initialize. If there is an approach detected, the lights may be activated and the gesture detection feature of the system may then determine whether a gesture was detected. If a gesture was detected, the liftgate may then be activated. If no gesture was detected, the lights may be activated. For example, if there is a key approach, the system may power and initialize. The system may then determine whether an approach is detected. If an approach is detected, lights of the vehicle may activate and a determination whether a gesture is detected is made. If a gesture is detected, a liftgate of the vehicle may be activated.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: FLEX LTD.Inventors: Pompilian Tofilescu, Sandor Zsombory, Yarko Matkiwsky, Reginald C. Grills, Adam Mack

Patent number: 9694764Abstract: Described herein is a system and method of activating vehicle electromechanical systems based on image recognition and radio frequency systems. The system includes radio frequency (RF) antennas for receiving wireless communication signals from a transponder. A RF controller verifies that the transponder is associated with the vehicle. Upon detection and verification of the transponder, a camera system captures images and an image processing engine determines if the images contain valid gestures associated with commands for the electromechanical systems. A controller triggers the electromechanical systems to perform the command if the gesture is valid. For example, the command may be an activation or deactivation command.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Flextronics Automotive, Inc.Inventors: Pompilian Tofilescu, Reginald C.

Patent number: 8669906Abstract: An antenna system may include a first antenna having a helical shaped portion, and configured to receive signals over a first frequency range. A second antenna may be positioned in proximate distance from the first antenna, and be configured to receive signals over a second frequency range. A splitter may be configured for separating signals received from radio and remote keyless entry antennas and may include a first branch including a first filter to filter AM band signals from communications signals received from an antenna, a second branch including a second filter to filter FM band signals from communications signals received from the antenna, a third branch including a third filter to filter remote keyless entry signals from communications signals received from the antenna, and an amplifier to amplify the remote keyless entry signals. The filters may be passive filters. The antenna may be a whip antenna or roof antenna.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2012Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Flextronics Automotive Inc.Inventors: Victor Rabinovich, Yarko Matkiwsky
