20230045706 · 2023-02-09 ·

At least one nearby vehicle may be extracted from a vehicle vicinity image collected by a sensor equipped in the target vehicle. Lane recognition information representing which one position a position of the extracted nearby vehicle corresponds to with respect to the target vehicle, and/or vehicle position information representing a relative distance from the target vehicle to the nearby vehicle may be identified. An attention degree of the nearby vehicle may be calculated based on a speed of the nearby vehicle calculated from the relative distance and a vehicle speed of the target vehicle, the vehicle position information of the nearby vehicle, the relative distance of the nearby vehicle, the speed of the target vehicle, or any combination thereof. An alarm for the nearby vehicle may be displayed on a screen according to the calculated attention.

Intelligent electronic footwear and logic for navigation assistance by automated tactile, audio, and visual feedback
11553754 · 2023-01-17 · ·

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.
