Beacon-based traffic control system
First Claim
1. A beacon-based traffic control system installed in a motor vehicle for receiving a wireless signal from one of a plurality of beacons, said beacons being respectively arranged at a plurality of geographic locations, each said beacon being defined to have a respective identification code correspondingly, each said beacon comprising a short-distance wireless transmitter for transmitting the wireless signal reaching to a predetermined distance, said wireless signal containing the corresponding identification code of the respective beacon, the beacon-based traffic control system comprising:
- an on-board short-distance wireless receiver adapted to receive the wireless signal from one of said beacons to obtain the corresponding identification code of the respective beacon;
a memory device, said memory device having stored therein a comparison table, said comparison table comprising the identification codes of said beacons and a plurality of action commands, each said identification code corresponding to at least one of said action commands; and
a microprocessor electrically connected to said on-board short-distance wireless receiver and said memory device, said microprocessor adapted to fetch the corresponding identification code of the wireless signal received by said on-board short-distance wireless receiver, to search the corresponding at least one action command from said memory device subject to the fetched identification code, and execute the searched corresponding at least one action command.

Abstract
Disclosed is a beacon-based traffic control system installed in a motor vehicle for receiving a wireless signal from one of a plurality of beacons that arranged in multiple geographic locations, each beacon being defined to have a respective identification code, each beacon having a short-distance wireless transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal for receiving by the beacon-based traffic control system so that when the motor vehicle is moving to a different geographic location, the beacon-based traffic control system fetches the identification code from the wireless signal of the local beacon and searches the memory thereof to find a corresponding action command and then to execute the action command, controlling the operation of the electronic component of the motor vehicle subject to the action command.
