Application: Systems and methods for off-road connectivity and sharing of time sensitive watch information (Patent ID: US20230328315A1)
The patent filed by Ford Motor Co. describes systems and methods for off-road vehicles to share real-time animal watching information with each other using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. This technology aims to enhance the wildlife watching experience by allowing individuals to spend less time searching for animals and more time at locations where animals are expected to be seen based on information shared by other vehicles. The method involves determining animal location, heading, and time information, receiving requests for this information from other vehicles, estimating animal locations at different times, and providing this information to requesting vehicles.
The patent also includes claims for a system with processors and memory to execute instructions for determining and sharing animal watching information, including location, heading, and time data. It further describes determining navigation routes for vehicles to reach estimated animal locations based on topography information, providing animal count information, and enabling subscription requests for notifications when other vehicles share watch information. Additionally, the patent outlines a method for vehicles to receive and present animal watching information via human-machine interfaces, including geolocation data, estimated animal locations at different times, and topography-based location estimations. This technology aims to improve the efficiency and enjoyment of off-road wildlife watching experiences by facilitating the sharing of real-time information among vehicles.
