US 2025/0145111 A1 · INTEGRATION OF VEHICLE SENSORS WITH REMOTE SYSTEM SENSORS

Abstract

A system integrating vehicle sensors with remote system sensors includes a vehicle having a controller communicating with a vehicle sensor generating data associated with a vehicle threat alert. A vehicle communication device communicating with the vehicle controller and transmitting vehicle sensor data. A remote system including a controller communicating with a remote sensor generating data associated with a remote threat alert. A communication hub communicating with the remote controller and the vehicle communication device. The vehicle communicating with the remote system through the communication hub, sharing vehicle threat alerts with the remote system, receiving and reviewing remote threat alerts from the remote system and modifying an operational mode of the vehicle sensor based on remote threat alerts. The remote network controller reviewing received vehicle threat alerts and modifying a detection mode of the remote system based on the received vehicle threat alerts.
