    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a traffic management system that utilizes route information provided by on board navigation systems installed in commuter vehicles to predict traffic congestion and determine appropriate traffic management procedures. Traffic management procedures include adjusting the timing of traffic signals, providing traffic updates/instructions to roadside Dynamic Message Signs (DMSs), actuating movable lane barriers, etc. The predictive traffic management capabilities provided by the present system offer an advantage over existing systems because the present system can more reliably predict when and where traffic congestion will occur and implement proactive, rather than reactive, traffic management procedures to deal with congestion before it occurs.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling the processing of content in a vehicle involves restricting content to at least one predefined zone within a vehicle. A request is received to process the restricted content with a content processing device. A vehicle system or controller of the vehicle obtains zone information from the vehicle. The vehicle system determines from the zone information whether the content processing device is designated for the predefined zone or whether the predefined zone is occupied. If the content processing device is designated for the predefined zone restricting the content or the zone is occupied, then the content processing device is allowed to process the restricted content. Otherwise, the content processing device is prevented from processing the restricted content.

    Abstract: A method for selection of content on a device allows a radio to scan (406) for desired (e.g. audio) selections being broadcast in accordance with a defined priority list that has been pre-stored (404). A found selection is played (408) in order of priority and then placed back (410) in the priority list in accordance with a prioritization logic. Desired content is identified by a digital signature or audio clip, for example. Associated with the identifier can be user interface settings (400), such as audio controls, and even vehicle settings such as window position, sun roof, moon roof, or convertible roof top, for example. The user interface can be used to store (402) and sort identifiers and to provide control settings to the user in audio or video format.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for rapidly providing activity on a vehicle network bus (12,Fig.1) includes a node (TCU 14, Fig.1) having a bus connection to the vehicle network bus. The node (TCU 14, Fig.1) includes a Rapid Response Stack (24, Fig.1) loaded with the predetermined message to respond to any network bus request before the application is up and running. A true stack is loaded with real messages from the application once it is booted up and running on the node, whereupon the application subsequently responds to network bus requests using the true stack instead of the Rapid Response Stack.

    Abstract: A system and method for managing media content between media devices (130, 140, 150) is disclosed. In a centralized embodiment, a server (110) monitors the media devices actively connected to the network and maintains information on each of the active media devices. The information includes the functions of each of the active media devices 130, 140, 150) for processing media content. The server (110) receives a request for media content and determines functions required to process the media content. The server then determines which of the active media devices have the required functions to process the media content and sends instructions to the determined media devices to configure processing of the media content. In response, the determined media devices process the media content, and the processed media content is delivered at the requesting media device. In a decentralized embodiment, the functions performed by the server are distributed among the various devices of the network.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an on-board navigation system for a commuter vehicle that automatically saves in a database addresses corresponding to destinations to which the vehicle has traveled, along with one or more parameters relating to the addresses. The navigation system uses these parameters to predict a destination by comparing the present state of the vehicle to the saved parameters. The navigation system can present the user with a prioritized list of addresses based on the predicted and prompt the user to select a destination from list. Thus a user can conveniently inform the navigation system of an intended destination. The navigation system can automatically determine a route to the destination based on present traffic conditions, and may have the ancillary benefit of informing the user of traffic conditions, or directing the user around such traffic conditions, even if the user was not otherwise interested in receiving a route.

    Abstract: A device automatically determines its location in a vehicle by using images/measurements from a camera. The images are compared to stored data, and a recognition algorithm determines the closest match and the location of the device. The camera rotates itself such that the lens is substantially aligned with the user interface of the device. Upon orienting itself in this manner, the camera captures an image which allows the device to determine which occupants of the vehicle can access the device. In other embodiments, the orientation of the device can be determined by determining the offset angle between a reference line and the user interface of the device. The occupants having access to the device can be determined with reference to a look-up table of angles and vehicle areas. The operation of the device can be advantageously modified based upon its location and which occupants are able to access the device.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing content from a source to a vehicle is disclosed. The content is restricted by associating the content with at least one requirement for vehicle information from a vehicle to which the content is provided. When restricted content is requested, a vehicle system obtains vehicle related information from the vehicle. The vehicle information is transferred to the vehicle system from the source, and the restricted content is transferred from the source to the vehicle system. The vehicle system, the source, or both determine whether the vehicle information meets the at least one requirement restricting the content. As long as the requirement for vehicle information is met, processing of the restricted content is allowed.
