Abstract
A digital license plate system having various power and communication modes to improve performance and increase expected battery life is disclosed. In one embodiment, a response to a sensor triggered plate event requires determination of whether a vehicle is running, parked or in-motion. This determination involves waking the processor, establishing wireless connectivity, and determining if the vehicle is in motion based on local sensor data.
Claims6
A power system for a digital license plate comprising:
- a digital license plate attached to a vehicle and connected to receive data through a wireless connection, wherein the digital license plate has a SLEEP mode, an ON mode, and an In Motion mode;
- and wherein
- the digital license plate is configured to receive power from a battery of the vehicle at a voltage;
- a trigger to move from a sleep mode to an ON mode, the trigger being programmed to move from the sleep mode to an ON mode in response to the voltage transitioning from a parked level to an operation level.
