Guident Expands Patent Portfolio with AI-Powered Remote Monitoring &
Control Software for Enhanced Autonomous Vehicle Safety

 

Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK) the UK intellectual property investment group
focused on creating valuable products that can improve people's lives, is
pleased to announce that its portfolio company Guident Corp. ("Guident") has
recently received a Notice of Allowance for its South Korean patent
application (No. 10-2022-7034516), entitled "Artificial Intelligence Method
and Apparatus for Remote Monitoring and Control of Autonomous Vehicles."

 

Guident has also received a Notice of Allowance for a corresponding U.S.
patent application (No. 17/909,432) under the same title. These patents are
anticipated to be granted following payment of applicable issuance and
maintenance fees.

 

 

Guident's distributed sensor fusion and artificial intelligence network
configuration

 

The allowed patent applications are directed to an autonomous vehicle remote
monitor and control centre (RMCC), employing distributed sensor fusion and
artificial intelligence techniques that are configured to receive sensor data
across multiple independently governed autonomous vehicles, including sensor
data from vehicles not operating under RMCC control. With this sensor data,
Guident can evaluate the incident risk level and take control of one or more
autonomous vehicles if it detects that it is operating at an unsafe risk
level. It can then implement safety measures and return control when the
vehicle is operating safely.

 

These developments add to Guident's growing international patent portfolio in
this technology area, which already includes granted or validated patents in
the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Canada and 20 European Union
countries, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, and Sweden.

 

 

Harald Braun, Chairman & CEO of Guident, stated:

 

"At Guident, every new patent is more than a milestone, it's a testament to
our commitment to safer and smarter autonomous mobility. Our innovations are
driven by a vision where autonomous vehicles and advanced AI work together to
protect and empower communities across the globe
