    Abstract: An improved system and procedure for allowing a user to post a route to another mobile user or to himself. In one embodiment, a user in a vehicle (26a) engages his user interface (51) to record and transmit the traveled route to a second user in a second vehicle (26b) or to himself at a later time. The recipient receives the route in accordance with his user ID and other parameters specified or messages left by the initiating user. The route can be displayed on a map, in text, or audibly broadcast. In an alternative embodiment, the route can be left by a non-mobile user for the benefit of a mobile user using, for example, a home computer.

    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.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于从源向车辆提供内容的系统和方法。 通过将内容与来自提供内容的车辆的车辆信息的至少一个要求相关联来限制内容。 当请求限制内容时,车辆系统从车辆获得车辆相关信息。 车辆信息从源传输到车辆系统,并且限制内容从源传输到车辆系统。 车辆系统,源或二者确定车辆信息是否满足限制内容的至少一个要求。 只要满足车辆信息的要求,就允许处理受限制的内容。

    Abstract: A system and procedure for posting and receiving location-based messages in a wireless communication based network (10). The system allows messages to be posted to specified users and to be associated with a particular location (X1) for which the message is pertinent. The messages can be left when a user in a first vehicle (26a) passes a particular location (X1), or the user can specify the location (X1) for the message even if not present at that location (X1). The messages can then be displayed at a user interface of the recipient vehicle (26b) either when the recipient nears that location (X1), or they can be reviewed in advance. Such location-based messages can be left either for another user or for the same user that is posting the method. The posted and received messages can be textual, audio, video, or pictorial messages and may be superimposed on computerized maps to make association between the message and the location more meaningful. Regardless, the disclosed system and methods allow messages to be associated with particular locations of interest.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于在基于无线通信的网络(10)中发布和接收基于位置的消息的系统和过程。 系统允许将消息发布到指定的用户并且与消息相关的特定位置(X1)相关联。 当第一车辆(26a)中的用户通过特定位置(X1)时,可以留下消息,或者即使不存在于该位置(X1),用户也可以指定消息的位置(X1)。 然后,当接收者靠近该位置(X1)时,消息可以在接收方车辆(26b)的用户界面处显示,或者可以提前对其进行审查。 这种基于位置的消息可以留给另一个用户,也可以留给正在发布该方法的同一个用户。 发布和接收的消息可以是文本,音频,视频或图形消息,并且可以叠加在计算机化的映射上,以使消息与位置之间的关联更有意义。 无论如何,所公开的系统和方法允许消息与感兴趣的特定位置相关联。

    Abstract: A system and method for managing content between different client devices in various domains (such as vehicle, home, and person) includes a user interface, a wireless transceiver, and a controller. The user interface receives an input from a user to change the presentation of the content from a first client device to a second client device. The wireless transceiver wirelessly transmits the input from the user through the communication system. The controller, responsive to the input from the user, determines a content format for the second device. The controller may also determine whether the second device has a network capability for accessing the content format. If the second device has the network capability for accessing the content format, the controller transmits a data message to the second device to activate access to the content; otherwise, the controller obtains the content and transmits the obtained content to the second device.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling the processing of content in a vehicle involves restricting content with a requirement of at least one vehicle condition. A request is received to process the restricted content with a content processing device. A vehicle system or controller obtains vehicle information of the vehicle. The vehicle system determines whether the vehicle information meets the requirement of the vehicle condition restricting the content. If met, 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 receiver such as in an automobile and/or wireless communication device is configured for a method of playing of live and recorded multimedia content. A desired genre of content is first defined (39). Both recorded and live content of that desired genre is identified and assembled into a playlist (43). Live content that is near a beginning of its being played (45) can be rotated to a top of the playlist (47). In this way, live content, which a user may not have heard is given a priority of recorded content of the user. Since a start time of live content typically will not coincide with an end time of recorded content being played, the receiver can fade-in and fade-out (48) to a the live content or buffer it (53) for delayed play.

    Abstract: An improved system and procedure for controlling the audio broadcast to users participating in a group conversation. In one embodiment, a communications server (24) employs arbitration logic (210) to decide which of the user has priority to speak, and accordingly mixes only the audio data steams for those users for broadcast to all users. The server can send notification to the user interfaces (51) to inform the users of their current priority status and to allow the users to request that their priority be increased, decreased, eliminated, or passed on for the benefit of another user. A user may also attempt at his user interface to affect the priority of identified other users by informing the arbitration logic (210) of a rating for that user. Additionally, a systems administrator may also arbitrate user priorities, either at his discretion or in conjunction with suggestions provided by the arbitration logic. Finally, and regardless of system-assessed priorities, a user may at his user interface (51) tailor the group conversation broadcast to him by either blocking reception of audio from certain users or by reducing their volume, or may tailor his outgoing audio transmission so they are blocked from being received by selected group conversation participants.

    Abstract translation: 用于控制参与群组对话的用户的音频广播的改进的系统和过程。 在一个实施例中,通信服务器(24)使用仲裁逻辑(210)来确定用户具有哪个优先权说话,并且因此仅将用于广播的用户的音频数据流混合到所有用户。 服务器可以向用户界面(51)发送通知,通知用户其当前的优先级状态,并允许用户为了另一用户的利益请求增加,减少,消除或传递其优先级。 用户还可以尝试他的用户界面通过向仲裁逻辑(210)通知该用户的评级来影响所识别的其他用户的优先级。 此外,系统管理员还可以自行决定或结合由仲裁逻辑提供的建议仲裁用户优先级。 最后,无论系统评估的优先级如何,用户可以在其用户界面(51)通过阻止来自某些用户的音频的接收或通过减少其音量来定制向他广播的群组对话,或者可以定制他的输出音频传输 他们被选定的群体对话参与者阻止被接收。

    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.
