Abstract:
1. An automotive communication method, said method comprising the steps of: installing a first sensor at a first location within a vehicle and installing a second sensor at a second location within the vehicle, at least one of the first and the second sensor being substantially enclosed within a metallic structure during operation of the vehicle; transmitting a first long wave magnetic sensor signal wirelessly from the first sensor and a second long wave magnetic signal from the second sensor, at least one of the first and the second long wave magnetic signals being transmitted through the metallic structure, the first and the second long wave magnetic sensor signals being indicative of a sensed condition; wirelessly receiving the first and the second long wave magnetic sensor signals at a controller disposed within the vehicle; localizing the first and the second sensors with respect to each other and with respect to the vehicle at the controller using the first and the second long wave magnetic sensor signals; and responding to the receipt of the first and the second long wave magnetic signals signal at the controller by adjusting a display and/or a setting within the vehicle.
