Pre-warning method and vehicle radar system
First Claim
1. A pre-warning method, utilized in a vehicle radar system, wherein the vehicle radar system comprises a frequency-modulation continuous wave (FMCW) module, a data transceiver module and an antenna module, and the FMCW module and the data transceiver module share the antenna module, the pre-warning method comprising:
- the FMCW module utilizing the antenna module to transmit and recive signals, to detect dynamic information of a target corresponding to the vehicle radar system, and obtaining a first detection result; and
broadcasting the first detection result via the data transceiver module and the antenna module;
wherein the target locates on a first direction corresponding to the vehicle radar system, and the step of broadcasting the first detection result via the data transceiver module and the antenna module is broadcasting the first detection result via the data transceiver module and the antenna module toward a second direction.

Abstract
A pre-warning method utilized in a vehicle radar system is disclosed. The vehicle radar system includes a frequency-modulation continuous wave (FMCW) module, a data transceiver module and an antenna module, and the FMCW module and the data transceiver module share the antenna module. The pre-warning method includes the FMCW module utilizing the antenna to transmit and receive beat signals to detect dynamic information of a target corresponding to the vehicle radar system and obtain a first detection result, and receiving and broadcasting data to broadcast the first detection result via the data transceiver module and the antenna module, or receive a detection result broadcasted by another vehicle radar system and combine the detection result with the first detection result to perform real-time target tracking and alarm.
