GUIDENT Receives Significant Additional Patent Coverage for its

AV Remote Monitoring & Control Service

 

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
received additional intellectual property protection for its remote monitoring
& control centre.

Guident has successfully validated its European Patent Grant No. 4097550,
entitled Artificial Intelligence Method and Apparatus for Remote Monitoring
and Control of Autonomous Vehicles, and has obtained patent protection in 20
European countries, including: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, the United Kingdom and
Norway.

 

The validated European patent is directed to an autonomous vehicle remote
monitoring and control center (RMCC) employing distributed sensor fusion and
artificial intelligence techniques that is configured to receive sensor data
across multiple independently governed autonomous vehicles, including sensor
data from vehicles not operating under RMCC control, determine incident risk
levels, implement safety measures and take control of one or more of the
autonomous vehicles when operating at an unsafe incident risk level, and
return control when the risk level is safe.

 

In addition, Guident is pleased to announce it has received a Notice of
Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its U.S.
Patent Application No. 17/579,203, entitled Near Real-Time Data and Video
Streaming System for a Vehicle, Robot or Drone.

 

The allowed U.S. patent application is directed to methods and systems for
using a remote monitoring control device to receive video and image data from
and communicate with collection devices of autonomous vehicles, robots, or
drones (such as camera sensors) to improve the safety of their operation.
Guident anticipates the United States Patent will issue in due course after it
pays the required issue fee.

across 20 countries marks a significant milestone in advancing Guident's
mission to enhance the safety of autonomous vehicles through innovative AI and

"Coupled with the anticipated forthcoming issuance of our U.S. Patent for near
real-time data and video streaming systems, we believe we are setting new
standards for the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles, robots, and
drones. These achievements exemplify Guident's commitment to driving the
future of smarter and safer mobility solutions."
