Patent application number | Description | Published |
20130325311 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING MOVING-OBJECT AROUND VEHICLE - An apparatus including a processor configured to: detect a position of a vehicle and a plurality of positions of fixed objects located around the vehicle based on map coordinates; detect objects based on information measured using a distance measurement sensor disposed in the vehicle; detect a moving object among the detected objects; estimate a plurality of positions of the vehicle and the moving object after a fixed period of time based on a position, a speed, and a movement direction of the moving object; and calculate a degree of proximity risk for the moving object with respect to the vehicle based on a distance and a speed between the vehicle and the moving object. | 12-05-2013 |
20140121954 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING VELOCITY OF A VEHICLE - Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for estimating velocity of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a surrounding environment information acquisition unit that acquires surrounding environment information of the vehicle from at least one sensor; a distance information extraction unit that extracts, from the surrounding environment information, distance information between the vehicle and objects in the vicinity of the vehicle; a group setting unit that classifies and groups the distance information according to a preset reference; a velocity calculation unit that calculates relative velocities between the vehicle and the objects for each group set; and a velocity estimation unit that estimates the velocity of the vehicle based on velocity values having the highest generation frequency from among the calculated relative velocities for each group. | 05-01-2014 |
20140136050 | VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS - S vehicle control apparatus that includes a touch panel configured to be touched by a user and a sound wave generator. The sound wave generator including a plurality of patterns formed in different shapes and heights on the touch panel, and is configured to generate sound waves having unique shapes when the user touches the patterns. A sound wave detection sensor is configured to detect the sound waves generated by the sound wave generator. A controller is configured to receive the sound waves detected by the sound wave detection sensor and output vehicle control signals corresponding to the respective sound waves. | 05-15-2014 |
20140180539 | VIRTUAL SENSOR NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERGENCE OF HETEROGENEOUS SENSORS - A virtual sensor network system is provided that includes a virtual sensor node that stores sensor data collected from a sensor mounted within a vehicle in time synchronization therewith and provides the stored sensor data in time synchronization therewith, in addition, a master node performs a control on the virtual sensor node and executes an algorithm used in an intelligent vehicle using the sensor data. The master node receives the sensor data stored in the virtual sensor node as the virtual sensor data in time synchronization therewith, without inputting actual sensor data from the sensor mounted within the vehicle when executing the algorithm. | 06-26-2014 |
20140365095 | APPARATUS OF SENSING MINOR COLLISION OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF - An apparatus that senses a minor collision of a vehicle is configured to minimize damage to the vehicle by actuating a brake system of the vehicle upon sensing a scratch of the vehicle by analyzing a sound (e.g., a sound wave signal) generated when a surface of the vehicle is scratched by, for example, a column of a building, the other vehicle, or the like when the vehicle is driven forward or backward at or below a certain speed. | 12-11-2014 |
20150063074 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A CUSTOMIZED INPUT-SERVICE - An apparatus and method that provide a customized input-service is provided. The apparatus includes at least one input unit that generates an sound wave based on an exterior input and a sound wave sensor that converts an sound signal for the sound wave into an electric signal. In addition, a controller analyzes the electric signal received from the sound wave sensor to confirm where the exterior input is generated and detects a control signal based on the exterior input and performs an operation based on the control signal from operations allocated to the input unit. | 03-05-2015 |
20150109216 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING TOUCH OF USER TERMINAL - An apparatus and method for recognizing a touch of a user terminal are provided. The method includes retrieving, by a controller, an acoustic wave signal according to an input generated from an exterior and analyzing the acoustic wave signal. In addition, the controller is configured to detect a type kind and strength of the acoustic wave signal and adjust the screen data of the output unit to correspond to the detected type and strength of the acoustic wave signal. | 04-23-2015 |
20150286303 | TOUCH SCREEN GUIDE - A touch screen guide is provided that includes an edge-shaped frame disposed on a surface of a touch screen and both ends of an inside surface of the edge-shaped frame includes first guide grooves. A menu guide has both ends movably inserted into the first guide grooves of the frame, a substantial center is longitudinally provided with a moving space, and upper and lower portions of an inside are provided with second guide grooves. A touch guide includes upper and lower portions movably inserted into the second guide grooves of the menu guide and a substantial center is provided with an insertion space. Accordingly, a user may recognize which button is being operated when touching the touch screen viewing the screen to prevent the touch screen from being erroneously operated, thereby improving the convenience of use and the marketability. | 10-08-2015 |
