Mobile device in-motion proximity guidance system
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to;
receive a first set of sensor data associated with a first device, the first set of sensor data indicating, at a first point in time, a first location and a velocity of the first device;
process the first set of sensor data to determine a first projected pathway of the first device that is likely to occur over a predetermined time interval;
receive a second set of sensor data associated with a second device, the second set of sensor data indicating, at the first point in time, a second location of the second device;
determine that at a second point in time, a distance between the first device and the second device is likely to be below a predetermined distance threshold, based at least in part on the first location, the first projected pathway and the second location; and
transmit a data packet to the first device, the data packet including an indication that at the second point in time, the distance between the first device and the second device is likely to be below the predetermined distance threshold.

Abstract
This disclosure describes an in-motion proximity guidance system that may alert a mobile device user of a likelihood that a projected pathway of an in-motion mobile device will intersect with a projected pathway of another in-motion mobile device or a location of a stationary object. The in-motion proximity guidance may further trigger visual and/or audible alerts to indicate an imminent collision. These alerts may be emitted from the in-motion mobile devices or stationary sensor devices physically coupled to stationary objects. Further, the in-motion proximity guidance system may transmit a corrective action to a collision avoidance system of a vehicle that is communicatively coupled to a mobile device in order to reduce a likelihood of an imminent collision. The in-motion proximity guidance system may also interact with a smart traffic light system, such that a sequence of traffic light indications may be altered to avoid an imminent collision between vehicles.

7. A mobile device, comprising:
-
one or more sensors that detect a movement of the mobile device; one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors; memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to; receive, from the one or more sensors, sensor data indicating a location and a velocity of the mobile device; process the sensor data, the sensor data to indicate a projected pathway of the mobile device that is likely to occur over a predetermined time interval; transmit, to a server, the sensor data; and receive, from the server, a data packet that includes an alert indicating that at a second point in time, a distance between the mobile device and an additional device is likely to be below a predetermined distance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
-
receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a first device; determining a first location of the first device, based at least in part on the sensor data; identifying, a second device based at least in part on a second location of the second device being within a predetermined distance of the first device; receiving, via a user interface of the first device, a first indication that a user associated with the first device is searching for a third device that is located within a predetermined distance of the first device; determining a third location of the third device based at least in part on receipt of a second indication from the third device; determining that the second location of the second device is located between the first location of the first device and the third location of the third device; and transmitting a signal to the first device, based at least in part on the second device being located with the predetermined distance of the first device, wherein transmitting the signal causes an activation of at least one of a visual indicator or an audible indicator that alerts the user that the second device is located along a pathway to the third device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
