Boundary detection system
First Claim
1. A vehicle for threat classification and response, the vehicle comprising:
- a battery, a motor, doors, sensors mounted on the vehicle and configured to capture data about objects external to the vehicle, and a processor(s) configured to;
receive the captured sensor data;
detect an object external to the vehicle via the received sensor data;
determine a position of the detected object;
enforce a sensitivity level;
load a plurality of threat zones including a first threat zone and a second threat zone;
determine whether the detected object occupies the first threat zone or the second threat zone;
when the detected object occupies the first threat zone, assign a first threat classification to the detected object based on the position of the detected object and the determined sensitivity level and when the detected object occupies the second threat zone, assign a second threat classification to the detected object based on the position of the detected object and the determined sensitivity level;
determine an acceleration of the detected object;
adjust the assigned threat classification of the detected object based on the determined acceleration;
perform a first threat response based on the assigned threat classification;
perform a second threat response based on the adjusted assigned threat classification;
wherein the first and second threat responses include one or more of;
an audio warning generated by the vehicle, a haptic warning generated by the vehicle, a visual warning generated by the vehicle, and locking of one or more of the vehicle doors.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide for tracking objects around a vehicle, analyzing the potential threat of the tracked objects, and implementing a threat response based on the analysis in order to keep occupants of the vehicle safe. Embodiments include a boundary detection system comprising a memory configured to store threat identification information, and a sensor unit configured to sense the object outside the vehicle and obtain sensor information based on the sensed object. The boundary detection system further includes a processor in communication with the memory and sensor unit, the controller configured to receive the sensor information, and control a threat response based on the sensor information and the threat identification information.

11. A method of threat classification and response implemented via processor(s) of a vehicle comprising:
-
a battery, a motor, doors, sensors mounted on the vehicle and configured to capture data about objects external to the vehicle, and a processor(s); the method comprising, via the processor(s); receiving the captured sensor data; detecting an object external to the vehicle via the received sensor data; determining a position of the detected object; enforcing a sensitivity level; loading a plurality of threat zones including a first threat zone and a second threat zone; determining whether the detected object occupies the first threat zone or the second threat zone; when the detected object occupies the first threat zone, assigning a first threat classification to the detected object based on the position of the detected object and the determined sensitivity level and when the detected object occupies the second threat zone, assigning a second threat classification to the detected object based on the position of the detected object and the determined sensitivity level; determining an acceleration of the detected object; adjusting the assigned threat classification of the detected object based on the determined acceleration; performing a first threat response based on the assigned threat classification; performing a second threat response based on the adjusted assigned threat classification; wherein the first and second threat responses include one or more of;
an audio warning generated by the vehicle, a haptic warning generated by the vehicle, a visual warning generated by the vehicle, and locking of one or more of the vehicle doors. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
