This 14th granted patent out of SaverOne’s full IP portfolio of 23 patents and patent applications demonstrates SaverOne’s technological leadership in mobile device detection and classification within vehicles
Petah Tikvah, Israel, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company engaged in developing transportation safety solutions, is pleased to announce the award by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of a new patent. The patent, numbered 12,326,512, is entitled “System and Method for Classifying a Mode of Operation of a Mobile Communication Device in a Volume Based on Sensor Fusion.”
This new patent describes the utilization of sensor fusion to detect and classify mobile device usage inside a vehicle cabin. The technique leverages SaverOne’s Phone Location Unit (PLU) to precisely locate mobile devices using Radio Frequency (RF)-based techniques and integrates the location data with additional data from non-RF sensors, . The sensor fusion combination is processed by SaverOne’s system to classify a mobile device’s current mode (for example, idle, call, texting, streaming) and distinguish whether the phone is being operated by the driver, which has safety ramifications, or a passenger.
With this new patent, SaverOne’s IP portfolio now includes 23 patents of which 14 have been granted across multiple jurisdictions and nine patent applications are pending. SaverOne’s patents cover key markets including the United States, Europe, Israel, China, and the United Kingdom, supporting the Company’s strategic vision for global commercialization.
Under U.S. law, the patent protection term is 20 years from the application’s effective filing date.
Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, stated, “The granting of this new U.S. patent is another important step within our mission to enhance in-vehicle safety using advanced technologies. By leveraging sensor fusion to better understand mobile device usage in real-time and distinguish driver interaction from passenger activity, we continue to push the boundaries of our technological solution to prevent accidents caused by driver distraction. Our growing patent portfolio protects our innovations and furthermore positions SaverOne at the forefront of next-generation transportation safety.”
About SaverOne’s Systems
SaverOne’s system is installed in vehicles to provide a solution to the problem of driver distraction, as a result of drivers using distracting applications on the mobile phone while driving, in a way that endangers their safety, the safety of their passengers and others on the road. This phenomenon is considered one of the main causes of road accidents in the world. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of road accidents just in the United States, stands at about $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of those accidents estimated to be related to the use of the mobile phones while driving. SaverOne’s technology specifically recognizes the driver’s area in the vehicle and prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging, while allowing others (e.g. navigation, calls), without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.
SaverOne’s primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets, including public transportation and buses, that are interested in reducing potential damages and significant cost, vehicle manufacturers that are interested in integrating safety solutions to their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with focus on the Israeli, European and US markets, as well as other markets around the world. SaverOne believes that ultimately increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, in particular driven by upcoming expected EU regulations, will likely have a dramatic positive impact on the demand for its systems in the future.
The Company’s strategy is to provide its technology for installation to customers in the aftermarket as well as address OEM vehicle manufacturers, to install the Company’s protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.
About the SaverOne VRU System
SaverOne is developing a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) solution, that has the potential to significantly enhance the performance of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) sensors through a superior ability to deal with NLoS (non-line of sight) situations as well as adverse weather conditions and low visibility. SaverOne’s technology identifies the exact location and direction of movement of the VRU via their RF footprint from their cellphone signal. This safety solution enables collision avoidance by early detection VRUs such as pedestrians or cyclists in the vicinity of the vehicle.
