Summary
This report created by MarkLines focuses on a number of recent technical topics surrounding the automotive industry and is based on patent information from the “Technology Information Distribution Service - swimy” obtained by the Toyota Technical Development Corporation (TTDC). The two business areas of TTDC are intellectual property and measurement control solutions. The intellectual property (IP) side of TTDC is involved in the collection and analysis of information on automotive technology developments globally, and provides services such as consulting for research planning, applying for patents in foreign languages, and technical translation.
Mobile communications technology is essential for the realization of an autonomous driving society. This study focuses on handover technology, i.e., technology that switches the base station to be connected while continuing communication between the vehicle and the base station, and shows the patent application trends of each company based on domestic and foreign patents.
In this survey, patent applications that contain a description of automated vehicle operation in the entire text of the patent application document are included.
The findings of the survey are as follows.
- The number of patent applications for automated driving and handover technology has increased rapidly in recent years. ☞To article
- Patent applications are being filed not only by automotive companies, but also by companies in the telecommunications industry.☞To article
- There are many patent applications related to handover technology based on location information and connection quality information between vehicles and base stations. ☞To article
- Approximately 40% of patent applications for this technology are standard-essential patents (SEPs).☞To article
