Apple正申請跟汽車結合的專利

根據USPTO公開的專利資料顯示,Apple正在申請二個有關與汽車通訊的專利。其中一項是讓用戶可以運用藍芽功能來定位追蹤車輛,以便於找尋停放車輛的位置;另一個則是讓用戶能以iPhone來啟動汽車的功能。
US20130103200是車輛定位的方法,係以藍芽系統將行動裝置和汽車連結,停車後,行動裝置就會連線到停車場的系統中,在車主離開停車場前,透過系統確認車輛在停車場內的位置。當車主回到停車場後,裝置會自動連線停車場系統,並自動產生一條最快到達停車位的路徑。
US20130099892是利用行動裝置啟動車輛,將現有一些智慧型鑰匙的功能轉換到行動裝置上,行動裝置再透過藍芽或其他安全連結方式來操控汽車上的各種功能。如以NFC或無線電方式打開門窗、發動引擎。
