    摘要: In one embodiment, a sensor unit to be utilized in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) includes a sensor interface coupled to a number of sensors mounted on a number of locations of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The sensor unit includes a host interface to be coupled to a host system, where the host system is configured to perceive a driving environment surrounding the ADV based on sensor data obtained from the sensors and to plan a path to autonomously drive the ADV. The sensor unit includes a time synchronization hub device coupled to the sensor interface. The time synchronization hub device includes one or more TX and/or RX timestamp generators coupled to a time source, where the TX/RX timestamp generators generate TX/RX timestamps based on a time obtained from the time source to provide the TX/RX timestamps to one or more of the sensors.

    摘要: An automatic regular time service method for a pointer type intelligent clock includes the following steps: a clock is connected to a mobile intelligent terminal by a wireless communication module to obtain a standard time; when the clock is not connected to the mobile intelligent terminal, an MCU module calls an internal error correction parameter list regularly by means of a command signal to obtain a correction time; and a movement controls pointers to rotate to synchronize the time to the standard time or correction time. A time service system for a pointer type intelligent clock is also disclosed. The method and the system solve the timekeeping error problem of a clock caused by a crystal oscillator error of a quartz movement, and can perform an automatic time service even if the clock is not connected to the network.
