Filed:

Oct 6, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/267034

Inventors:

Joseph Thomas Mader - Plano TX, US
Thomas Edward Mader - Plano TX, US
Russell Carl McKown - Richardson TX, US

Assignee:

GUARDITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04B 1/18

US Classification:

4551611

Abstract:

A system, method and computer readable medium comprised of in-vehicle passive monitoring and information management system elements which together detect, identify, report and discourage unsafe wireless device use by the operator of a vehicle. An in-vehicle monitoring device determines the vehicle's operational state and location, identifies wireless device transmitter emissions within the vehicle and communicates to a remote information management system using a wireless network, or after-the-fact, using a local network to a locally-installed software version of the information management system. The information management system collects information retrieved from in-vehicle devices and correlates this information with other database information to provide users with timely alerts, tracking, and records of unsafe wireless device use.

Assignee:

GUARDITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04M 11/04

US Classification:

4554041

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system and method that provides a standardized and portable automatic emergency event notification, or AEEN, device which detects a vehicle or other transport emergency event and then automatically and directly dials 911 emergency services and further provides the 911 operator with important information pertaining to the emergency event. Ordinary transport owners may readily install the AEEN device of the present invention into their vehicle or other transport. The AEEN device does not involve a subscription service and the device cellphone which places the 911 call does not require activation on a wireless service network.

Appl. No.:

13/907885

Inventors:

Joseph Thomas Mader - Plano TX, US
Thomas Edward Mader - Plano TX, US

International Classification:

B60Q 5/00

US Classification:

3404255

Abstract:

The present application provides a system, method and non-transitory computer readable medium that provides a means of using a vehicle horn as an inexpensive user input interface to serve the function of a simple push button switch for an in-vehicle device or system. The use of the vehicle horn as a user input interface to an in-vehicle device or system is novel. The description of example embodiments illustrates application details that take advantage of the properties of the vehicle horn sound to allow efficient processing that can be implemented on a low cost processor.

Appl. No.:

13/907883

Inventors:

Joseph Thomas Mader - Plano TX, US

International Classification:

H04W 4/22

US Classification:

4554041

Abstract:

The present application provides methods for in-vehicle emergency telematics devices and systems to automatically qualify vehicle crash events before directly placing a 3-digit emergency call from an in-vehicle TCU to a local PSAP operator. The qualification is performed in two stages. The first stage produces a qualified crash detection decision wherein a preliminary crash detection based on impact sensors is qualified by crash related non-impact sensors and vehicle telemetry data. The second stage uses an injury severity prediction algorithm to score the detected crash and produces a decision as to whether the crash warrants an emergency call to the PSAP operator.

Appl. No.:

13/907889

Inventors:

Joseph Thomas Mader - Plano TX, US

International Classification:

H04W 4/22

US Classification:

4554041

Abstract:

The present application provides a system, method and non-transitory computer readable medium of using automatically generated speech messages to audibly validate text messages that are sent using TTY communications. A short length text message can be delivered using TTY communications which is then immediately followed by short-duration speech read-text message designed to either validate the received TTY text message or identify character errors in the same. The use of the VCO-TTY communications mode allows the called party to request resends of the automatically generated TTY text and the corresponding speech read-text messages.
