WIRELESS SENSOR OR DEVICE, PORTABLE OR DETACHABLE FROM EITHER A MOTORIZED OR UNMOTORIZED VEHICLE, CONNECTED VIA A PHONE OR ELECTRONIC TABLET APPLICATION SYSTEM

摘要

This invention provides for a system of wireless sensor devices, portable or detachable from a vehicle, wirelessly connectable to a mobile electronic appliance and is particularly constructed as a reversing assistant for indicating the proximity between a vehicle and rearward obstacle objects. The sensor devices provided on the vehicle detect the proximity of an obstacle object to the rear of the vehicle and through a transmitter in the sensor devices provides a wireless signal to a receiver, in the mobile electronic appliance located with the driver of the vehicle. The wireless signal is processed by the electronic appliance and provides an indication of the distance between the vehicle and the object. The sensor devices are portable and detachable enabling them to be moved to and from different vehicles and by providing a mobile electronic appliance with wireless features, the reversing system can used by any vehicle eliminating the need to for a fixed wiring of proximity sensors on the vehicle.

主权项

1. A system for aiding in the reversing of a vehicle the system comprising:
at least one sensor device capable of sensing and object in a path to the rear of said vehicle wherein the sensor device is a proximity sensor which can determine the distance and location of said sensor device relative to said object in said path and wherein the sensor device produces a signal representing said distance and location, and wherein the sensor device is provided with means for communicating with a mobile electronic appliance is which processes said signal representing said distance and location of said object to thereby produce an indicator on the mobile electronic appliance regarding the location of said object relative to said rear of said vehicle and wherein said sensor device is provided with a power source and wherein said sensor device is mountable and demountable from said rear of said vehicle by a portable mounting bracket readily attachable and detachable to said vehicle to thereby aide a driver of said vehicle to maneuver said vehicle in a rearward direction and avoid said object in the path of the vehicle.
