Johnson Controls, a U.S. based provider of automotive interiors, products and services, has announced that the United States Patent Office has awarded two new patents for its BlueConnect wireless connectivity technology for use in vehicles.

 

The BlueConnect hands-free system from Johnson Controls enables a wireless connection to mobile phones using Bluetooth technology, allowing drivers to make and receive calls using a vehicle’s voice recognition and audio systems.

 

The system reportedly offers a wide range of features connected to and enabled through the driver’s personal mobile phone.

 

The company has also said that the system includes an electronic control module and microphone. The electronic control module contains the voice recognition system, noise cancellation system and the Bluetooth chipset.
