Foresight Subsidiary Eye-Net Mobile Receives Notice of Allowance for Patent Application from U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

Business Wire
The patent application relates to the company’s
accident prevention solution
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an
innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that its
wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., has received a notice
of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for
patent application No. 16/496,826, for “system and method for
preventing car accidents and collisions between vehicles and
pedestrians.”
The patented technology involves an accident prevention system
that predicts collisions between vehicles and pedestrians. The
system is comprised of a dedicated software application installed
on a number of mobile devices carried by pedestrians or users
riding in a vehicle. Each of the installed mobile devices detects
its location and transmits it to a geographic server. The server
sends the location of other mobile devices in the same geographic
territory, effectively making each device aware of other users
around it. The dedicated software uses advanced proprietary
algorithms that detect the user’s direction of travel, search for
potential collisions and issue a collision alert to mobile users
who are of high probability of collision.
This patent serves as the underlying technology for Eye-Net
Mobile’s cellular-based V2X accident prevention solution. The
Eye-Net Protect™ V2X (vehicle-to-everything) solution is designed
to provide real-time pre-collision alerts to vehicles and
vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, scooter drivers) by
using smartphones and relying on existing cellular networks.
Designed to provide a complementary layer of protection beyond
traditional Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, Eye-Net Protect
extends protection to road users who are not in direct line of
sight, and not covered by other alerting systems and sensors.
“We are excited about this notice of allowance for another
patent application that strengthens our intellectual property,”
said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “Eye-Net Mobile continues to
develop its V2X solution for reducing the likelihood of accidents
and injuries and saving lives. The Company has completed a software
development kit (SDK) configuration for Eye-Net Protect and is
ready for commercial engagement with third-party location-based
applications.”
