An electronic device and a method for remote control of vehicle features are provided. The electronic device receives a first user input indicative of a selection of a first vehicle from a set of vehicles associated with a user. The electronic device further receives, via a haptic device associated with the electronic device, a second user input including a tactile gesture. The second user input is indicative of an instruction to remotely control a first set of features on the selected first vehicle. The tactile gesture includes a first swipe input along a first direction associated with the haptic device and further includes a second swipe input along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The electronic device further controls the first set of features on the selected first vehicle based on the received second user input.

Computer systems for training a machine learning model for preventing relay attacks. Including portable electronic devices capable of controlling the opening or closing, contactlessly, of an access to a road vehicle on the basis of a pretrained machine learning model. The general principle is based on the use of smartphones as a digital key for accessing a road vehicle. Machine learning is used to train a learning model capable of predicting the movement of a smartphone of this type as it approaches or moves away from the road vehicle. Subsequently, access to the road vehicle is authorized only when same receives the information on the movement of the smartphone.

An actuation system used to actuate two buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob, based upon commands that are generated from a mobile device. The actuation system includes an outer housing that defines an isolation enclosure. The actuation system includes a support frame that allows the vertical position of the button actuator to be manually adjusted. The lateral and longitudinal position of the actuator can also be manually adjusted, as can the distance between a pair of actuator tips. The controller receives the command signals from the mobile device and converts the command signals into actuation commands that are used to activate a servo motor to move the one of two actuation tips into contact with one of the buttons of the key fob. The system includes a RF receiver and transmitter to communicate a vehicle command signal for receipt by the vehicle.

A tire pressure monitoring system used for a vehicle includes a sensor unit, a receiving device, and a control device. The sensor unit is provided at each wheel of the vehicle, detects tire pressure of the each wheel with a tire pressure sensor and transmits data of the detected tire pressure by radio waves. The receiving device includes a receiving antenna that is provided at an outside of the vehicle to receive the data of the tire pressure transmitted from the sensor unit. The control device includes a data acquisition unit that acquires the data of the tire pressure received by the receiving device.

A tractor trailer monitoring system includes a network having a server and a database; a first computing device; a monitoring platform to be accessible from the first computing device; a tractor trailer system, having a tractor unit; an air supply control system to control air supply to a brake system of the trailer, the air supply control system having a CPU to receive commands from the first computing device; the first computing device and monitoring platform are to receive an identifying code from a user to activate air supply to the brake system of the trailer.

A first anchor of a first type communicates with a mobile electronic device. A characteristic of the communications between the first anchor of the first type and the mobile electronic device is determined. One or more second anchors each of a second type is selected based on the characteristic of the communications. A respective distance to the mobile electronic is determined based on each of the selected one or more second anchors each of the second type.

A near-field communication (NFC) entry device provides remote keyless entry (RKE) into an enclosure having an RKE control unit, a door, and a door actuator. The NFC entry device includes a housing and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). The housing mounts to the enclosure. The PCBA is enclosed within a cavity of the housing, and includes first and second surfaces, an RF antenna and an inductor coil connected to the first surface, and an NFC communication chipset connected to the second surface. The NFC entry device passively harvests energy from a battery powered mobile device via the inductor coil and stores the energy in the capacitor. The passively harvested energy is used to communicate a control signal to the RKE control unit, via the RF antenna, which activates the door actuator. A standby battery may be used when the capacitor is insufficiency charged.

A transportation vehicle having a BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) system to send and receive BLE advertising signals, BLE connection request signals and BLE data signals via at least one antenna, a central locking system to lock or unlock at least one vehicle door of the transportation vehicle, and a control unit to activate the BLE system and to activate the central locking system based on the BLE data signals. Also disclosed is an electronic vehicle radio key and a system for passive access to a transportation vehicle including a transportation vehicle, an electronic vehicle radio key and a smartphone. The system allows a user passive access to the transportation vehicle, both with the aid of the electronic vehicle radio key and with the aid of the smartphone.

A vehicle is equipped with a docking station for a driver's smart device. The smart device displays engine related and other information to the driver while operating the vehicle. The smart device provides a supplementary screen to the screen installed in the vehicle at manufacture, or acts as an alternative to having a screen installed at manufacture. The docked smart device replaces one or more of the instruments normally present in a vehicle dashboard or motorcycle instrument cluster. The smart device also controls operation of the vehicle.

Systems and methods for remotely locking and unlocking vehicle accessory locks of vehicle accessories positioned on a vehicle are disclosed. The vehicle includes main doors with locks that are remotely lockable and unlockable using main door lock actuators. Vehicle includes a vehicle controller that receives a user signal from a user, first determines a main door actuation command based on the first signal, and first transmits, based on the main door actuation command, a first actuation command signal to the main door lock actuators. The system includes accessory lock actuator(s) operably coupled to the accessory lock(s), accessory lock controller(s) operably coupled to the accessory lock actuator(s), and a gateway controller operably coupled to the vehicle controller. Gateway controller second determines an accessory lock actuation command based on the first actuation command signal, and second transmits, based on the accessory lock actuation command, a gateway signal to the accessory lock controller.
