Communication device for vehicles restricting network search during off period
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930444B2) discloses a communication device designed to connect to a vehicle's power source and perform periodic network searches to locate a specific network. The device includes a controller that limits the network search activity when the power source is off, ensuring efficient use of resources. The controller also determines if the vehicle is stationary during an active period and restricts network searches when the vehicle is at a stop, further optimizing the device's operation.
Moreover, the patent includes claims for a method executed by the communication device, outlining the steps involved in performing network searches and managing search activities based on the vehicle's movement status and power source state. By restricting network searches during specific periods and controlling the frequency of searches, the device aims to enhance network connectivity and conserve energy. These innovative features cater to the needs of modern vehicles and communication systems, offering a more efficient and effective way to manage network connectivity in various driving scenarios.
