Yes S2020, there was a consortium of companies OpenSynergy, that were working on virtualising Android to run on cars - that means they can run the Android operating system safely alongside the Adas software on the same hardware. Since Google are keen to get into auto, and with Qualcomm's new found eye tracking experience, this could open up new avenues.
OK, I get it now, this Bosch patents is just the latest extention of a patent from 2015, they just keep adding bits on. We have always assumed that B were partnered with SEE. But if course in a sense B were our competitors, because, before DMS there was Bosch's coffee cup. That cafine receptical was a good money spinner for B and if it wasn't for the regulation they would still be selling it in 10 years or more. So, let's assume that B are still our partners, then why are they still fighting for an old patent. Well because it is still a land grab. They know that SEE are the best, and they want to lock the competition out of the next easy solution. The denser the trees in the patent forest then the harder it is to make your own path. They want to partner with SEE for premier and mid mass market, and still be able to sell their coffee cups until then and afterwards in the easier markets where DMS is not mandated.
Incidentally, JC the patent does mention ASIC but that is a bit as surprising as to find that plumbers use copper pipes - it is just one of the 'standard' ways to do these things.
This is not de-ramping
I forgot to say, some really great posts today. Must be time for S2020's bed now, he must be tired.
I've just read the Xilinx patent. Yes some great stuff there, but it is for data centres (that is where the "cloud" lives), not automotive.
No, I'm not de-ramping!
TLS, didn't Colin draw a link from Qualcomm to Google, it was it Microsoft, anyway one of those tech giants
Hi JC, been busy this weekend, so only just caught up with the posts. My first thought in the Xilinx patent is that it may be useful in some situations, but probably not relevant to us.
The Waymo patent, did look kind of familiar especially from that high vantage point
JC, thanks, steps ahead of me as ever

That was more of an ASIC word association post as I remember seeing it mentioned in the recent Xilinx/Sabaru article.

I could never work Bosch out, don't think they have won any DMS DW.
Perhaps they are focused more on trucks rather than cars
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CLASSIFYING EYE OPENING DATA OF AT LEAST ONE EYE OF AN OCCUPANT OF A VEHICLE, AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING DROWSINESS AND/OR MICROSLEEP OF AN OCCUPANT OF A VEHICLE
A method for classifying eye opening data of an occupant's eye in a vehicle, to detect drowsiness/microsleep, including generating a first eye opening data record at a first measuring time in a sliding time window, the first record including a measuring point, representing a first eye opening degree, a first eyelid speed and/or acceleration of motion of the occupant's eye at the first measuring time; acquiring a second eye opening data record at a second measuring time, the second record including at least one acquisition point, representing a second eye opening degree, a second eyelid speed of motion and/or acceleration of motion of the occupant's eye; and executing a cluster analysis, using the measuring point and the acquisition point to assign at least the first and/or second record to a first data cluster, to classify the eye opening data; the first cluster representing an opening state of the occupant's eye.
[0030] In the case at hand, a device may be understood as an electrical device that processes sensor signals and outputs control and/or data signals as a function of them. The device may have an interface, which may be implemented as hardware and/or software. In a hardware configuration, the interfaces may, for example, be part of a so-called system ASIC that includes many different functions of the device. However, it is also possible for the interfaces to be separate, integrated circuits or to be at least partially made up of discrete components. In a software configuration, the interfaces may be software modules that are present, for example, on a microcontroller in addition to other software modules.

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND METHODS TO ACCELERATE DATA QUERIES
Integrated circuits and methods relating to hardware acceleration include independent, programmable, and parallel processing units (PU) custom-adapted to process a data stream and aggregate the results to respond to a query. In an illustrative example, a data stream from a database may be divided into data blocks and allocated to a corresponding PU. Each data block may be processed by one of the PUs to generate results according to a predetermined instruction set. A concatenate unit may merge and concatenate a result of each data block together to generate an output result for the query. In some embodiments, very large database SQL queries, for example, may be accelerated by hardware PU/concatenate engines implemented in fixed ASIC or reconfigurable FPGA hardware circuitry.
