Foresight Received Chinese Patent Notice of Allowance

The Company�s patent for running vehicle alerting system also received approval from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in April 2019

NESS ZIONA, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$FRSX #EyeNet–Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that it has received a notice of allowance from the Chinese Patent Office for its patent application number 201780015494 for the company’s “running vehicle alerting system and method.” The patented technology also received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as reported by the Company on April 1, 2019.

The patented technology involves a running vehicle alerting system which detects traffic lights or traffic signs. The system generates a collision avoiding alert signal when the distance to these lights or signs is shorter than a threshold safe braking distance in order to avoid endangering other vehicles and pedestrians. The alerting system is based on passive forwardly directed optical sensors, sophisticated analytics of images of traffic lights and signs along roads, and the location data of each vehicle, transmitted to a remote server using cellular communication. Alert signals about impending collisions are generated and transmitted from the server to each relevant vehicle driver’s smartphone.

This patent supports a holistic technological solution which combines features of Foresight’s QuadSight® automotive vision system with Eye-Net Mobile’s cellular-based V2X accident prevention solution. The patent will allow Foresight to use its stereoscopic camera-based object detection capabilities to provide collision alerts through the Eye-Net™ application, in order to reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
