Application: Vehicle sensing and control systems (Patent ID: US20230398994A1)

The patent filed by Alps Alpine Co Ltd. describes a vehicle sensing and control system that utilizes sensors to capture data from both the interior and exterior of a vehicle. The system can detect user interactions within the vehicle and identify items of interest for the occupants based on this data. The system includes first sensors for the interior, second sensors for the exterior, a computing device to detect user indications of interest, and a vehicle controller to act on the identified items of interest.

The system can detect user indications of interest, such as gestures or trigger words, and determine items of interest based on this input and sensor data. The computing device calculates pointing or gazing vectors based on sensor data, including landmarks like the location of an index finger or the orientation of an occupant's head. These vectors are used to identify items of interest, taking into account the geographic location of the vehicle at the time of the user indication. Overall, the system provides a comprehensive approach to sensing and controlling a vehicle based on user interactions and external factors.
