Multi-sensor integration for a vehicle

A sensor system for use in a vehicle that integrates sensor data from more than one sensor in an effort to facilitate collision avoidance and other types of sensor-related processing. The system include external sensors for capturing sensor data external to the vehicle. External sensors can include sensors of a wide variety of different sensor types, including radar, image processing, ultrasonic, infrared, and other sensor types. Each external sensor can be configured to focus on a particular sensor zone external to the vehicle. Each external sensor can also be configured to focus primarily on particular types of potential obstacles and obstructions based on the particular characteristics of the sensor zone and sensor type. All sensor data can be integrated in a comprehensive manner by a threat assessment subsystem within the sensor system. The system is not limited to sensor data from external sensors. Internal sensors can be used to capture internal sensor data, such a vehicle characteristics, user attributes, and other types of interior information. Moreover, the sensor system can also include an information sharing subsystem of exchanging information with other vehicle sensor systems or for exchanging information with non-vehicle systems such as a non-movable highway sensor system configured to transmit and receive information relating to traffic, weather, construction, and other conditions. The sensor system can potentially integrate data from all different sources in a comprehensive and integrated manner. The system can integrate information by assigning particular weights to particular determinations by particular sensors.

System and methods for controlling automatic scrolling of information on a display or screen

A system 10 for controlling the automatic scrolling of information on a computer display or screen 12 is disclosed. The system 10 generally includes a computer display or screen12, a computer system 14, gimbaled sensor system 16 for following and tracking the position and movement of the user's head 18 and user's eye 20, and a scroll activating interface algorithm using a neural network to find screen gaze coordinates implemented by the computer system 14 so that corresponding scrolling function is performed based upon the screen gaze coordinates of the user's eye 20 relative to a certain activation area(s) on the display or screen 12. The gimbaled sensor system 16 contains a gimbaled platform 24 mounted at the top of the display or screen 12. The gimbaled sensor system 16 tracks the user's 22 head 18 and eye 20, allows the user to be free from any attachments while the gimbaled sensor system 16 is eye tracking, and still allows the user to freely move his or her head when the system 10 is in use. A method of controlling automatic scrolling of information on a display or screen 12 by a user 22 is also disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of finding a screen gaze coordinate 146 on the display or screen 12 of the user 22, determining whether the screen gaze coordinate 146 is within at least one activated control region, and activating scrolling to provide a desired display of information when the gaze direction is within at least one activated control region. In one embodiment, the control regions are defined as upper control region 208, lower region 210, right region 212, and left region 214 for controlling the scrolling respectively in the downward, upward, leftward, and rightward directions. In another embodiment, the control regions are defined by concentric rings 306, 308, and 310 for maintaining the stationary position of the information or controlling the scrolling of the information towards the center of the display or screen 12.

Wireless repeater for sensor system

A low cost, robust, repeater for a wireless ambient sensor system that provides an extended period of operability without maintenance is described. The repeater includes a controller and first and second transceivers. The controller is configured to control operation of said first transceiver and said second transceiver. The wireless repeater includes a repeater identification. The controller is configured to manage a sensor unit identification table that contains a list of sensor unit identification codes, where entries for the sensor unit identification table are received by the second transceiver from the base unit and identified by the repeater identification. The controller controls the first transceiver and the second transceiver to forward data from sensor units listed in said sensor unit identification table and to ignore data from sensor units not listed in said sensor unit identification table. The controller also controls the first transceiver and the second transceiver to forward data from the base unit that is addressed to sensor units listed in said sensor unit identification table and to ignore data from the base unit that is addressed to sensor units not listed in said sensor unit identification table. The controller places the first transceiver and the second transceiver in a low-power mode when no transmissions are expected from the base unit or from the sensor units listed in the sensor identification table.
