Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the user of the device, is moving. In addition, one aspect of the invention generally relates to a method and system for modifying a user's driving behaviors, in particular to a system and method for modifying a user's unsafe driving behaviors, e.g., using one or more services of a controllable mobile device while driving, by providing a score to the user rating indicating that they are using a mobile device in a distracting way, or driving in a manner that indicates that they are distracted.

VEHICULAR CONTROL SYSTEM THAT LIMITS DRIVER DISTRACTIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING
20230353670 · 2023-11-02 ·

A vehicular control system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at a vehicle. The ECU includes electronic circuitry and associated software. The electronic circuitry of the ECU is operable to receive transmissions and to transmit signals. The vehicular control system, responsive to receiving at the ECU at least one transmission indicative of one or more mobile devices at an interior cabin of the vehicle, determines location of the one or more mobile devices at the interior cabin of the vehicle. Responsive to determination that a determined mobile device is located at a driver seat region of the interior cabin of the vehicle, and responsive to determination that the vehicle is moving at a speed above a threshold speed, the vehicular control system transmits a blocking signal to at least partially disable operation of the determined mobile device located at the driver seat region of the interior cabin.

APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CRPA NEUTRALIZATION FOR ILLEGAL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
20230361907 · 2023-11-09 ·

An apparatus of controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) neutralization for an illegal unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes an interference signal generator transmitting a direct wave toward a CRPA of an illegal UAV through a first transmission antenna and transmitting a first reflected wave inducing signal through a second transmission antenna and a first passive propagation mirror reflecting the first reflected wave inducing signal toward the illegal UAV so that the first reflected wave propagates toward the CRPA of the illegal UAV.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE IN A MOVING VEHICLE
20220303873 · 2022-09-22 ·

Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the user of the device, is moving. The present method and system determines whether the vehicle is being operated by a user that may also have access to a mobile communication device which, if used concurrently while the vehicle is in operation, may lead to Service Provider System unsafe operation of the vehicle. If the mobile services control system determines that a vehicle operator has potentially unsafe access to a mobile communication device, the mobile services control system may restrict operator access to one or more services that would otherwise be available to the operator via the mobile communication device.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LIMITING MOBILE PHONE USE BY DRIVERS
20220219681 · 2022-07-14 ·

A system for limiting use of an electronic mobile device by a driver of a vehicle. The system includes a mobile device controller for removable connection with a vehicle and for wireless communicating with one or more electronic mobile devices and an electronic mobile device for wireless communicating with the mobile device controller. The mobile device controller comprises a radio frequency receiver or transmitter. The electronic mobile device includes a radio frequency transceiver in wireless communication with the radio frequency receiver or transmitter of the mobile device controller, an application installed thereon and an electronic mobile device processor programmed to execute one or more instructions of the application stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium of the electronic mobile device.

Signal processing apparatus and method, and program
11081128 · 2021-08-03 · ·

A sound state estimating unit detects surrounding sound at a timing at which a notification to a destination user occurs. A user state estimating unit detects a position of the destination user and positions of users other than the destination user at the timing at which the notification occurs. An output control unit controls output of the notification to the destination user at a timing at which it is determined that the surrounding sound detected by the sound state estimating unit is masking possible sound which can be used for masking in a case where the position of the destination user detected by the user state estimating unit is within a predetermined area.

AIRCRAFT TRACKING SENSOR ARRANGEMENT, AND A DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
20210175996 · 2021-06-10 · ·

A gateway device for a sensor network comprising: communication means to communicate with an aircraft interface device or other communication means provided by aircraft, short-range wireless communication means for communicating with nodes via short range communication means, characterized in that the gateway device is arranged to receive flight status information from the aircraft interface device and to facilitate control of nodes in accordance with the flight status, such as that the gateway sends the nodes a command to disable all wireless transmission when the aircraft status is take off or landing, and a command to utilize only short-range wireless transmission means when the aircraft status is climb, cruise or descent. Corresponding arrangement and method are also presented.

Deterrent for unmanned aerial systems using data mining and/or machine learning for improved target detection and classification

A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial and similar technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of the object of interests risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment is based on the application of machine learning and data mining techniques and protocols to the set of data related to the object of interest. This data product is available to third parties via a set of defined interface protocols and available API. The deterrent element, using other machine learning or artificially intelligent algorithms, selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions not limited to those actions currently included in this embodiment, but includes those actions available from third parties such as specialized hunter drones. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.
