Device for signalling objects to a navigation module of a vehicle equipped with this device
First Claim
1. A device for real-time signaling of at least one object to a navigation device of a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a first sensor arranged to produce first-sensor data comprising a first captured position and a first captured speed of the object relative to the vehicle;
at least one second sensor to produce second-sensor data comprising a second captured position and a second captured speed of the object relative to the vehicle;
a synchronization module implemented by circuitry and configured to produce synchronized data comprising a first synchronized position from the first captured position and the first captured speed and at least one second synchronization position from the second captured position and the second captured speed; and
a merging module implemented by the circuitry and configured toproduce merged data comprising a merged position from the first synchronized position and the second synchronized position in such a way as to signal said object to the navigation device by communicating all or part of the merged data thereto, anddetermine a risk indicator associated with the object, the risk indicator being based on a distance score of a distance that separates the vehicle and the object, an angle score of an angle that separates the vehicle and the object, a speed score of a speed at which the object is moving relative to the vehicle, and an object score that is dependent on a type of the object, different types of objects having different score dependencies.

Abstract
A device performs real-time signaling of at least one object to a navigation module of a vehicle. The device includes a first sensor to produce first-sensor data including a first captured position and a first captured speed of the object relative to the vehicle, at least one second sensor to produce second-sensor data including a second captured position and a second captured speed of the object relative to the vehicle, a synchronization module to produce synchronized data including a first synchronized position from the first captured position and the first captured speed and at least one second synchronization position from the second captured position and the second captured speed, and a merging module to produce merged data including a merged position from the first synchronized position and the second synchronized position to signal the object to the navigation module by communicating all or part of the merged data thereto.

10. A motor vehicle, comprising:
a device including circuitry configured to produce first-sensor data comprising a first captured position and a first captured speed of an object relative to the motor vehicle, produce second-sensor data comprising a second captured position and a second captured speed of the object relative to the motor vehicle, produce synchronized data comprising a first synchronized position from the first captured position and the first captured speed and at least one second synchronization position from the second captured position and the second captured speed, produce merged data comprising a merged position from the first synchronized position and the second synchronized position in such a way as to signal the object to a navigation device of the motor vehicle by communicating all or part of the merged data thereto, and determine a risk indicator associated with the object, the risk indicator being based on a distance score of a distance that separates the vehicle and the object, an angle score of an angle that separates the vehicle and the object, a speed score of a speed at which the object is moving relative to the vehicle, and an object score that is dependent on a type of the object, different types of objects having different score dependencies.

11. A method, comprising:
-
producing, using a first sensor, first-sensor data comprising a first captured position and a first captured speed of an object relative to a vehicle; producing, using a second sensor, second-sensor data comprising a second captured position and a second captured speed of the object relative to the vehicle; producing, using circuitry synchronized data comprising a first synchronized position from the first captured position and the first captured speed and at least one second synchronization position from the second captured position and the second captured speed; producing, using the circuitry, merged data comprising a merged position from the first synchronized position and the second synchronized position in such a way as to signal the object to a navigation device of the vehicle by communicating all or part of the merged data thereto, and determining a risk indicator associated with the object, the risk indicator being based on a distance score of a distance that separates the vehicle and the object, an angle score of an angle that separates the vehicle and the object, a speed score of a speed at which the object is moving relative to the vehicle, and an object score that is dependent on a type of the object, different types of objects having different score dependencies.
