Method and device for providing an event message indicative of an imminent event for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for providing an event message indicative of an imminent event for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event representing signals output by a first plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event preceding the imminent event;
receiving event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event representing signals output by a second plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event subsequent to the imminent event;
receiving a first event message, the first event message representing a signal output by a first mobile terminal device of a first vehicle in response to the imminent event;
receiving a second event message, the second event message representing a signal output by a second mobile terminal device of a second vehicle in response to the imminent event;
generating an aggregated event message on the basis of the first event message and the second event message;
combining the received event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event with the received event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event to determine a maximum possible count of event messages indicative of the imminent event;
ascertaining a plausibility value to check the plausibility of the aggregated event message, the ascertaining including comparing the maximum possible count of event messages to an actual count of event messages indicative of the imminent event, the plausibility value being ascertained based on the result of the comparing; and
outputting the aggregated event message and the plausibility value, the aggregated event message and the plausibility value representing a signal receivable from at least one mobile playback device of the vehicle.

Abstract
A method for providing an event message indicative of an imminent event for a vehicle. In a first step, a first event message and a second event message are initially received. The first event message represents a signal output by a first mobile terminal device in response to the imminent event; and the second event message represents a signal output by a second mobile terminal device in response to the imminent event. In a further step, an aggregated event message is generated on the basis of the first event message and the second event message. A step follows for ascertaining a plausibility value to check the plausibility of the aggregated event message. Finally, the aggregated event message and the plausibility value are output. The aggregated event message and the plausibility value represent a signal that is receivable from at least one mobile playback device.

8. A device for providing an event message indicative of an imminent event for a vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a receiving unit to;
(i) receive event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event representing signals output by a first plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event preceding the imminent event, (ii) receive event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event representing signals output by a second plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event subsequent to the imminent event, and (iii) receive a first event message and a second event message, the first event message representing a signal output by a first mobile terminal device of a first vehicle in response to the imminent event, and the second event message representing a signal output by a second mobile terminal device of a second vehicle in response to the imminent event;a generating unit to generate an aggregated event message on the basis of the first event message and the second event message; a determining unit to ascertain a plausibility value to check plausibility of the aggregated event message; and an output unit to output the aggregated event message and the plausibility value, the aggregated event message and the plausibility value representing a signal receivable from at least one mobile playback device of the vehicle; wherein the device is further configured to combine the received event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event with the received event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event to determine a maximum possible count of event messages indicative of the imminent event, and wherein the ascertainment of the plausibility value by the determining unit includes comparing the maximum possible count of event messages to an actual count of event messages indicative of the imminent event, the plausibility value being ascertained based on the result of the comparing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing program code for providing an event message indicative of an imminent event for a vehicle, the program code, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform:
-
receiving event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event representing signals output by a first plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event preceding the imminent event; receiving event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event representing signals output by a second plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event subsequent to the imminent event; receiving a first event message, the first event message representing a signal output by a first mobile terminal device of a first vehicle in response to the imminent event; receiving a second event message, the second event message representing a signal output by a second mobile terminal device of a second vehicle in response to the imminent event; generating an aggregated event message on the basis of the first event message and the second event message; combining the received event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event with the received event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event to determine a maximum possible count of event messages indicative of the imminent event; ascertaining a plausibility value to check the plausibility of the aggregated event message, the ascertaining including comparing the maximum possible count of event messages to an actual count of event messages indicative of the imminent event, the plausibility value being ascertained based on the result of the comparing; and outputting the aggregated event message and the plausibility value, the aggregated event message and the plausibility value representing a signal receivable from at least one mobile playback device of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
