Company patents
STONERIDGE ELECTRONICS AB
STONERIDGE ELECTRONICS AB's patent strategy, while heavily focused on its core "Vehicle Body Fittings" (71.7% of portfolio), shows a surprising and strong emerging focus on advanced visual technologies, with "Image Processing" patents surging by +180.0% and "Pictorial / Video Communications" by +120.0% so far in 2026, despite a dip in 2025 for both categories. This indicates a strategic pivot towards integrating sophisticated imaging and communication capabilities within its automotive offerings, contrasting with declining priorities in areas like "Time / Attendance / Access Control" and "Alarm & Signaling Systems".

Systems utilizing various sensors (e.g., cameras, radar, sonar) to perceive the vehicle's surrounding environment, detect objects, and process/display relevant information to the driver for enhanced awareness, assistance in maneuvers, or safety.
Camera assemblies specifically designed for integration into vehicles, addressing challenges like mounting, field of view coverage, environmental robustness, and specialized imaging (e.g., near-infrared) for autonomous driving or safety.
Systems that combine data from multiple camera sensors or capture multiple images from different perspectives or qualities, often involving image processing techniques like synthesis to create enhanced or comprehensive views.
Technologies for monitoring vehicle performance, detecting faults, collecting operational data, and providing remote assistance or automated control based on sensor inputs and network connectivity.
Technologies for safely and efficiently connecting, stabilizing, and maneuvering trailers, including hitch mechanisms, load sensing, and trailer-specific steering or stabilization.
Systems that monitor a vehicle operator's physiological state, attentiveness, or behavior using in-cabin sensors and machine learning to enhance safety or personalize vehicle functions.
Methods and systems for improving the quality of video streams, generating intermediate frames, or continuously locating and following objects within a sequence of images, even under occlusion.
Systems and methods for enhancing the safety of vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists) by improving their detection, prediction, and precise localization relative to the vehicle, often leveraging communication technologies and specialized markers.
Methods and apparatus for improving the visual fidelity, resolution, or compression efficiency of video signals, often through advanced processing, up-scaling, or neural network-based filters.
Mechanical structures and devices designed to support, stabilize, or mount cameras and related photographic equipment, often featuring quick-release mechanisms, damping, or adjustable components.
Techniques for combining data from disparate sensor types (e.g., cameras, radar, mobile device signals) to achieve a more robust and comprehensive understanding of an environment or subject, often leveraging machine learning for interpretation and correlation.
Electronic, hydraulic, or steer-by-wire systems that precisely control vehicle direction, often incorporating feedback loops, compensation, and adaptation for various driving conditions or vehicle types.
Devices and structural elements within the vehicle cabin or attached to the vehicle body designed to organize, secure, or support various articles, equipment, or even pets, often featuring customizable compartments or robust attachment mechanisms.
Methods and apparatus for detecting objects and determining their three-dimensional position and orientation (pose) using imagery or point cloud data, often for navigation, surveying, or environmental understanding.
