Apple Patents Built-In iPhone Remote Unlocker, Engine Starter And Parking Locator For Cars

|

Author: Dave Adams

The USPTO published a number of Apple patent applications Tuesday, including two related to automobiles (via AppleInsider). The car patents both describe systems that can be built into future iPhones, replacing most of the functionality of your standard key fob with the smartphone, and providing a way to help drivers navigate the often maze-like interiors of parking garages to find their ride.

In one application, Apple describes what amounts to a series of different indoor positioning systems to help drivers locate their cars when parked. The system would involve pairing a car and an iPhone via Bluetooth, and then using that connection to automatically detect when a car ends up actually parking in a spot. Then, it uses sensor data communicated from the parking facility itself to peg a location.

Once a user returns to the garage, they can trigger the phone to find their current positioning data from the same system, and then provide actual guidance or directions back to their car itself. The patent describes parking garages in which devices are placed at regular intervals throughout to help facilitate the indoor location portion. Apple’s recent acquisition of indoor positioning system company WiFiSLAM could also work very well in terms of helping provide a way to make this system work.

The IPS element is interesting, but where Apple’s patent is really unique is in using on-board device sensors, including things like the camera and microphone, to determine automatically when a car parks to begin with to trigger the car location logging information. There are plenty of “where did I park my car” apps out there (though few boast IPS), but the automatic, fully-integrated way Apple’s system would work would make it so that you don’t even have to remember to activate it.

The other car-related application describes a system that would turn the iPhone into a remote car starter, unlocker, and essentially a parental control device for a target vehicle. The patent talks about using Bluetooth to pair a car and a handset, then allowing a user to choose their level of security, making it possible to have the phone unlock the car automatically based on proximity, or require a PIN to even use any car control functions.

Apple’s patent goes further than most remote starter/unlocker key fobs by allowing a user to set specific limits for particular devices, like making it possible to start the engine with a phone only during set hours, setting a max speed for use with a particular device, limiting access to infotainment services, and building in geofencing. All of these can be used in theft prevention, but also to set limits on say a teen child’s car permissions.

It’s about time that cars got tighter integration with mobile devices, in ways that make the best use of all the tech on board our modern smartphones. Many car companies seem to be open to working closer with Apple, too, so while there’s a lot of infrastructure changes described in these patents, we still could see these features make their way to shipping devices over the next few years.

How do I connect my iPod Remote to Apple TV?

Question by blah: How do I connect my iPod Remote to Apple TV?
I have recently gotten the Remote app for my iTouch. I also have an Apple TV. Whenever I open the application on my iTouch, it automatically connects to my laptop rather than my Apple TV. How can I pair it with the Apple TV instead?

It’s about the iPhone, but the Apple TV process is very close to the same thing.

Logitech unveils Harmony Ultimate and Smart Control universal remote sets for home entertainment heroes

|

Author: Matthew Baker

Got no touchscreen on your living-room remote? That’s a shame, due to the fact that Logitech and others have been flogging such universal controllers because method back when. After a long brand-new item hiatus, the late 2012 launch of the Harmony Touch remote hasn’t stopped Logitech from mulling a sale of the brand, however it’s not done with it just yet. Coming soon are 2 fresh bundles bearing the Harmony name: the Ultimate and Smart Control. At the heart of both is the Smart Hub, a palm-sized box somewhat like the Harmony Link. It receives commands from remotes through RF, or from smartphone apps by means of WiFi, and in turn, broadcasts its own orders to your A/V setup using IR and Bluetooth. It’s particularly useful for those wishing to conceal their kit away in cabinets, as it equates inputs into IR indicates that’ll bounce around those private spaces. Optional extender nodes will likewise pipeline IR into other neighboring recesses.

To do that however, the Hub needs directions, which is where remotes and apps are available in. The brand-new Ultimate remote (aka the Touch Plus) is last year’s Touch remote with a couple of improvements, including the addition of a trigger-like nub on the underside to enhance grip. It makes use of IR, Bluetooth or RF (to the Hub) to control approximately 15 devices, and is set using Logitech’s software for Computers that pulls setups from a database of 225,000 home enjoyment items. The Ultimate’s 2.4-inch touchscreen acts as a number pad, a preferred network list for simple jumping, and is the house of one-touch “tasks,” which are essentially macros for releasing multiple commands. Establish an activity for “Play Xbox,” for example, and in one touch it’ll switch on your console, switch your TELEVISION to the correct source, choose the right channel on your amp, and so on. It’ll even tell Philips’ connected Color lightbulbs to set a state of mind. Jump on past the break for even more.

Track The Progress Of This 3D-Printed OpenRC Truggy, A Remote Control Car Enthusiast’s Dream

|

Author: Jon Mitchell

If you’re into 3D printable stuff, or into remote control cars, then the OpenRC Project is for you. A gentleman in Sweden named Daniel Norée is sharing his progress on a 3D-printed Truggy, as well as sharing the recipe with the OpenRC Project group that he created. A truggy is an off-road vehicle, in case you weren’t sure.

The cost of 3D printers are dropping both for at-home use and enterprise, so it’s a very real possibility that consumers all over the world could soon have these devices in their living rooms. Crazier things have happened. We’ve seen 3D printed iPhone docks, violins, pottery and even a robotic hand for a child.

If you can print out your very own customized remote control car with one, count me in. While not all of the parts are printable, such as the wheels, for really die-hard remote control car fans, those are parts that they probably have sitting around in the garage already.

Here’s a video that Norée uploaded today that showssome of the schematics behind the parts, and the actual 3D printing process using one of those fancy MakerBot Replicators:

The project has come a long way in the past few months, as here’s a video of an earlier model breaking down:

I want one.

While this isn’t the only 3D-printed remote control car out there, the advantage here is that you can follow the progress of the project on Google+ and join the discussion. If you’re ready to print one out, go here.

ShutterBox Turns Your Android Phone Into A Sophisticated, Sensor-Laden Remote Camera Trigger

|

Author: Randy Miller

A new Kickstarter campaign from San Antonio-based Ubertronix, Inc. aims to turn your Android smartphone into a wireless trigger for your DSLR. The job follows others that provide comparable gadgets, but this one, the creation of Josiah Leverich, who established Ubertronix a little over a year ago to develop camera remote hardware, has some special aspects, consisting of a way to use your smartphone as a lightning sensor for capturing impressive storm pictures.

Ubertronix started as a way for Leverich to build and market his Strike Finder camera trigger product, which is a specialized piece of hardware that functions built-in sensors to assist catching high-speed photography, and lightning particularly. The ShutterBox is an extension of that tech, which features a hot shoe-mounted receiver box that connects wirelessly with your Android smartphone by means of Bluetooth. It utilizes the phone ’ s built-in sensors for causing automatic shutter activation, including light sensors for lightning, as well as motion diagnosis for catching wildlife or other movement-based events.

The ShutterBox can also be made use of as a basic wireless remote for causing solitary shots, time lapse, bursts of exposures and more. It ’ s even created to be able to deal with multiple servant units for capture across several cameras at when, or for triggering remote flashes in a studio setup.

The idea behind ShutterBox is to leverage the devices currently in individuals ’ hands rather of making them purchase and learn brand-new exclusive hardware. The ShutterBox receiver will still cost you $ 199 as a pre-order (or $ 249 retail), however since a lot of its functions are app-based, there ’ s sufficient capacity for later ability enhancements and growth.

Ubertronix has already made hardware in the past, and has currently penciled an agreement with a Texas-based business to construct the PCBs needed for the ShutterBox. It ’ s got a large range of camera compatibility, and the startup is just seeking $ 25,000 in initial financing with a preliminary target ship date of June 2013. More cameras are having Wi-Fi remote features built-in, like the Canon 6D, but if the ShutterBox can genuinely leverage smartphone sensors in addition to it declares to be able to, that would include considerably to the value of a remote trigger app.
