| 20090079591 | VEHICLE LOCATING METHOD AND SYSTEM USING A MOBILE DEVICE - A system to transmit a location of a vehicle, including: a transmission system including, a first system unit configured to determine a current location using radio signals, a first memory unit storing a database that includes a list of one or more mobile devices, a processor configured to select one of the mobile devices from the database, and a first transmission unit configured to transmit the current location to the selected one of the mobile devices in response to an engine of the vehicle being shut off. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090284396 | SYSTEM FOR LOCATING VEHICLES IN PARKING LOTS AND METHOD THEREOF - A system and a method for locating a vehicle are disclosed. The system includes a vehicle unit and a handheld unit. The vehicle unit is disposed in the vehicle. The vehicle unit is configured to generate a location signal representative of a location of the vehicle on receiving of an activation signal. The handheld unit includes a transceiver, a switch and a display unit. The transceiver is capable of communicating with the vehicle unit. The switch is configured to activate the transceiver to transmit the activation signal to the vehicle unit. The display unit is functionally coupled to the transceiver and is configured to display a direction of the vehicle relative to the handheld unit based on the location signal. The location signal is received from the vehicle unit by the transceiver. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100109914 | Communication method for locating a parked vehicle - A method of locating a parked vehicle that is equipped with a RKE system including a vehicle-installed RF communication module and a driver-borne wireless RF nomadic device such as a key fob involves installing a RFID tag in the nomadic device and a RFID interrogator in the vehicle. The driver depresses a button on the nomadic device to transmit a location request to the vehicle's communication module, and the RFID interrogator in turn emits a RF interrogation signal to identify the RFID tag and determine its location relative to the vehicle. The communication module then transmits a compass bearing to the nomadic device, and an indicator of the nomadic device is activated to provide the driver with a bearing for locating the vehicle. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100295708 | ALERT AND WARNING SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present inventions provide a system and method for providing a warning using at least one wireless communication link between an approaching object and the location where a warning is to be given based in part on the location of the object and its proximity to the warning location. One aspect of the inventions includes receiving a communication from an object, for example a vehicle, which includes location information, at an alert node, wirelessly communicating alert information to a warning node, and causing a warning device to generate a warning. Preferably the alert node communicates with a plurality of vehicles and a plurality of warning nodes and determines to which of the plurality of warning nodes to communicate alert information based in part on the location information received from at least one of the vehicles and the location of the warning device. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20140111357 | Method and Apparatus for Alarm Control - A system includes a processor in communication with a vehicle computing system (VCS) and a remote target. The processor is configured to receive an alarm message from the VCS, including GPS coordinates. The processor is further configured to interpret the alarm message to retrieve at least the GPS coordinates. The processor is also configured to perform reverse geocoding on the GPS coordinates to associate an address with the GPS coordinates. Also, the processor is configured to package the address in a new alarm message. Finally, the processor is configured to send the new alarm message to the remote destination target | 04-24-2014 |
| 20160187303 | METHOD AND ROAD MANAGEMENT PLATFORM FOR MANAGING ROAD MAINTENANCE - A road condition acquiring method using a mobile device includes acquiring a road condition and a current geographic position information regarding the road condition, when a vibration sensor built-in the vehicle senses a vibration value, when the vibration value is larger than a predetermined value, the road condition and the current geographic position information is sent to a road management platform. And road maintenance management method and platform are also provided. | 06-30-2016 |
