Application: Systems and methods to form remote vehicular micro clouds (Patent ID: US20240097984A1)
The patent filed by Toyota Motor Corp. describes systems and methods for forming remote vehicular micro clouds at various geographic locations. These systems involve receiving a request from a client device to form a vehicular micro cloud in a specific area, communicating with multiple vehicles in that area to create the micro cloud, collecting resource data from these vehicles based on their sensor sets, and transmitting this data back to the client device. The method also includes executing tasks defined in the request using the resource data received from the vehicles, detecting and inviting other vehicles to join the micro cloud, and creating panoramic image frames of the surrounding environment using image data from the vehicles.
The patent further details the formation of stationary or mobile vehicular micro clouds, the types of tasks that can be executed within these clouds such as locating objects or vehicles, risk assessment of roadways, and measuring parking availability. It also mentions the involvement of roadside equipment in forming these micro clouds and the use of various client devices like smartphones, computers, and vehicles to initiate the process. Additionally, the patent outlines a system with communication circuits, memory, and processors to facilitate the formation of these remote vehicular micro clouds, including selecting geographic locations, executing tasks, detecting vehicles entering the area, and transmitting data back to the client device.
