Abstract
Techniques described herein provide for identification of a mobile device that belongs to an observed pedestrian, by a vehicle. According to embodiments, a vehicle can receive a mobile device message including a first set of pedestrian-identifying features, and the vehicle can use vehicle sensor data to extract a second set of pedestrian-identifying features for an observed pedestrian. If the features match, the vehicle can determine that the observed pedestrian is in possession of the mobile device, and the vehicle can subsequently communicate with the mobile device as needed regarding the status of the pedestrian.
Claims36
A method of linking a pedestrian and a mobile device by a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the vehicle, a message from the mobile device, wherein the message is used to determine a first set of pedestrian features;
- obtaining, at the vehicle, an image;
- identifying whether the image contains one or more objects corresponding to one or more pedestrians;
- and
- determining, at the vehicle, whether the mobile device is associated with a pedestrian based on the first set of pedestrian features and the one or more objects corresponding to the one or more pedestrians.
A device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processing units communicatively coupled with the memory and the wireless communication interface and configured to:
- receive, via the wireless communication interface, a message from a mobile device, wherein the message is used to determine a first set of pedestrian features;
- obtain an image;
- identify whether the image contains one or more objects corresponding to one or more pedestrians;
- and
- determine whether the mobile device is associated with a pedestrian based on the first set of pedestrian features and the one or more objects corresponding to the one or more pedestrians.
A method of providing information for linking a pedestrian and a mobile device, the method comprising:
- sending, from the mobile device, to a vehicle, a first message, wherein the first message is used to determine a first set of pedestrian features, wherein the vehicle obtains an image and identifies whether the image contains one or more objects corresponding to one or more pedestrians, wherein the vehicle determines whether the mobile device is associated with a pedestrian based on a comparison of the first set of pedestrian features and the one or more objects corresponding to the one or more pedestrians;
- and
- receiving, at the mobile device, from the vehicle, a second message for the pedestrian.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising at least one instruction for causing a computer or processor to:
- receive a message from a mobile device, wherein the message is used to determine a first set of pedestrian features;
- obtain an image;
- identify whether the image contains one or more objects corresponding to one or more pedestrians;
- and
- determine whether the mobile device is associated with a pedestrian based on the first set of pedestrian features and the one or more objects corresponding to the one or more pedestrians.
