According to CNET, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published two wireless technology patents of Apple on Thursday, which are related to automobile tracking, positioning and start-up. One of the patents is named "Positioning Vehicle Method". In this patent, Apple described a method to confirm the exact position of an automobile parked around iOS devices with the help of Bluetooth functions of iOS devices. Of course, the parking lot itself also has its own wireless system to help you determine the exact location of your car. Users can be guided to their cars through maps displayed on their devices, similar to the current GPS system.
What if you find your beloved car but cannot find your car keys? No problem, another patent technology published by Apple on Thursday will allow your iPhone to have the function of starting the car, which will solve your problem.
The other technology patent published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office is named "Using Portable Devices to Start Vehicles". This technology can realize the use of handheld devices to open car doors. At this point, your mobile phone actually becomes a substitute for car keys, but some security technologies and initial authentication technologies used ensure the safety of users' vehicles.
Once the user opens the car door, they can start the car and even turn on the radio, adjust the seat, activate the headlights, and open the sunroof with their mobile phone. They can even store some changeable settings of the car in the mobile phone, such as the adjustment settings of the car seat and reversing mirror, which can automatically make personalized adjustments according to different drivers. In addition, according to the information stored in the mobile phone, the in-car temperature, audio or audio-visual entertainment system can be personalized.
