Abstract
Provided is a disclosure for a vehicle platform that includes acquiring information, analyzing the information, and controlling the vehicle, as well as sharing the acquired information and infotainment in the vehicle with other vehicles and electronic devices.
Claims41
A control system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a control module configured to:
- receive sensor information from a plurality of sensors on the vehicle;
- analyze the sensor information to perform an identification process for at least one object detected by the plurality of sensors;
- and
- determine a response based on the at least one object identified;
- and
- a communication module configured to communicate directly or indirectly with an electronic device, wherein the communication occurs without human intervention and includes at least some of the received sensor information, the analyzed sensor information, and/or the determined response.
4 more elements
A control system for a first vehicle, comprising:
- an infotainment module configured to provide one or more of information and entertainment to a consumer;
- and
- a communication module configured to communicate with a second vehicle without intervention by a human in the first vehicle,
- wherein a location of the consumer is one of:
- in the first vehicle or in the second vehicle.
2 more elements
A method for using a control system in a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors on the vehicle;
- analyzing the sensor information to perform an identification process for at least one object detected by the plurality of sensors;
- determining a response to be used by the vehicle based on the at least one object identified;
- and
- communicating, directly or indirectly with an electronic device, one or more of the sensor information, the analyzed sensor information, and the detected object, wherein the communication occurs without human intervention and includes at least some of the received sensor information, the analyzed sensor information, and/or the determined response.
2 more elements
A first vehicle, comprising:
- a communication module configured to perform peer-to-peer communication with one or more vehicles, wherein the peer-to-peer communication occurs without intervention by a human in the first vehicle;
- and
- a control module configured to receive first sensor information from a plurality of sensors on the first vehicle and process the first sensor information, wherein the processed first sensor information is communicated to the one or more vehicles.
A first vehicle, comprising:
- a communication module configured to perform peer-to-peer communication with at least one electronic object, wherein the peer-to-peer communication occurs without intervention by a human in the first vehicle;
- and
- a control module configured to:
- discover one or more candidate electronic objects;
- select, if at least one candidate electronic object is discovered, at least one of the one or more candidate electronic objects as at least one target object for communication;
- and
- wirelessly connect to the at least one target object.
