G05G 9/047

US Classification:

701 22, 74471 XY, 180 65285, 903902

Abstract:

In accordance with the present invention, a drive mode switch is provided that is configured to move in a rotary motion, a substantially fore-and-aft motion and a substantially cross-vehicle motion. The switch sends a signal that corresponds to each of the motions. A controller is provided that receives the signals from the switch and includes programmed software that correlates the signals to various vehicle motion outputs, such as forward and reverse.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for intelligent driving monitoring systems, advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems, and providing one-click driver image labeling to facilitate the assignment of drive time to a driver. Various aspects of the driver and/or passengers may be determined, which may include a driver identifier previously associated with the driver, whether the driver is wearing a facial covering, whether an image of the driver is partially occluded, whether the driver is facing in the direction of the camera, and whether an image of the driver is expected to be easily recognizable to a person tasked with assigning representative driver images to driver identifiers. These determinations may be used to improve the efficacy and ease-of-use of a visual login system.

- Vancouver, CA
James Anthony Curtis - Temecula CA, US

International Classification:

G07C 5/08
G07C 5/00
G07C 5/02

Abstract:

A method of operation of a compute system comprising: determining a potential ignition-on event from an on-board diagnostics; receiving a message group from the on-board diagnostic based on the potential ignition-on event; determining a match between a footprint and the message group; identifying a vehicle make-model-year based on the match and the footprint; decoding a vehicle identification based on the vehicle make-model-year and the footprint; and communicating the vehicle make-model-year, the vehicle identification, or a combination thereof for displaying on a device.

International Classification:

G07C 5/08
H04L 1/00
G01M 17/007
B60R 16/03

Abstract:

A method of operation of a compute system comprising: operating a controller area network with a first node including a first error counter and a second node including a second error counter; transmitting a message from the first node to the second node over the controller area network; detecting an error by the first node or the second node; incrementing the first error counter or the second error counter based on whichever the first node or the second node that detected the error; and shutting off an on-board diagnostic port when the first error counter or the second error counter reaches a shut-off threshold.
