Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for wirelessly communicating signals from trailer-mounted cameras to a towing vehicle, where the techniques overcome packet loss challenges caused by interferences, fading and poor signal strength. An advanced spectrum hopping algorithm monitors conditions on multiple channels in multiple frequency bands, detects congestion or collisions needing mitigation, and migrates transmissions as needed to other channels with greater free capacity. Network coding techniques are provided which transmit data packets via multiple paths, where the redundancy provides robustness against data packet losses. The multiple path network coding approach may include spectral diversity, where packets are transmitted on different bands, and spatial diversity, where packets are transmitted via different routes such as direct and repeater-based.
Abstract:
A method of remotely controlling a graphic display unit. Requesting, by a host system, assistance of a remote system relating to a respective application, host system including at least one host graphic display unit displaying operational graphics relating to a dedicated application of the host system. The at least one host graphic display unit of the host system is accessed by the remote system. Graphical application data relating to the respective application display is transmitted from the remote system to the host system. Instructional graphic information is projected on the at least one host graphics display unit. Remotely controlling, by the remote system, the at least one host vehicle graphic display unit by displaying to a user of the host system instructional information relating to the respective application. An adaptive session protocol controls a speed in which data is transmitted from the remote system to the host system.
Abstract:
Systems for communicating between a display unit of a vehicle and a wireless electronic device are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a first communication module that receives at least one of video data and audio data from the wireless electronic device according to a wireless communication protocol. A first converter module converts the at least one of video data and audio data from a data format generated by the wireless electronic device to a data format that is recognizable by the display unit of the vehicle. A second communication module communicates the converted at least one of video data and audio data to the display unit according to a wired communication protocol.
Abstract:
A portable system including a processor and a storage device comprising computer-executable code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform various operations including receiving visual media content from a source, and determining an application characteristic selected from a group consisting of an application identity and an application category associated with a subject application stored at the portable system and/or at a host device in communication with the portable system. The operations further include determining, based on the application characteristic, which of multiple available codecs a host device should use to process the visual content, sending, to the host device, a communication indicating the codec for use in processing the visual content, and sending the visual content to the host device for display rendering using the codec determined.
Abstract:
A portable system including a digital connection plug, a processing hardware unit, and a non-transitory storage device including code causing the processing hardware unit to perform operations including dividing a received source video file or virtualized source video into a plurality of equal- or non-equal-sized image components. A resulting data-content package is stored at the system such as at a framebuffer thereof. System operations further comprise generating a meta-index package comprising a plurality of index components, each index component corresponding to a respective one of the equal-sized image components, storing the meta-index package, and sending the data-content package and the meta-index package to the host device for publishing of the image components sequentially, in accord with an order of the meta-index package, for display rendering streaming video corresponding to the source video file or virtualized source video.
