Abstract:
A remote controller that interacts with a system under control (SUC) includes: at least one input adapted to receive data from a user; a command interpreter adapted to evaluate data received via the at least one input and determine whether the received data is associated with a remote command from among a set of remote commands associated with the SUC; at least one communication element adapted to send remote commands to the SUC; and at least one haptic feedback element adapted to provide feedback to the user, where the SUC is an in-vehicle system including a display. An automated method includes: generating a list of recognizers; passing user input event data to the recognizers; determining a status for each recognizer; identifying a single recognizer based on the status, and retrieving a command associated with the single recognizer, where the input event is associated with an in-vehicle system having a display.
Abstract:
A system that determines a projected range of a vehicle is described. The system includes: a storage element that stores a set of parameters associated with a vehicle; a map evaluation element that retrieves information regarding a geographic area associated with a position of the vehicle, where the retrieved information includes multiple links associated with available roadways in the geographic area and each link includes a cost value; and a processing element that determines the projected range of the vehicle based at least partly on the set of parameters and the retrieved information, by evaluating the links to identify multiple paths extending outward from the position of the vehicle, where each path includes a set of links having a summed cost value that is less than a target cost, where the processing element further generates a polygon representing the projected range by tracing the links associated with the paths.
