  • Patent number: 11953697
    Abstract: A computer includes a processor and memory, the memory can store instructions executable by the processor to display a first calibration symbol to appear at a first location of a virtual image plane viewable from a measured location of the eyes or head of an operator and display a second calibration symbol to appear at a second location of the virtual image plane according to an offset distance from the first location. The instructions additionally can additionally be to adjust the offset distance in response to adjusting the second location by receiving input from the operator to align the first calibration symbol with the second calibration symbol.

  • Patent number: 10140783
    Abstract: A central gateway of a vehicle includes a processor and a storage connected to a plurality of vehicle buses. The gateway receives raw data from an electronic control unit (ECU) via one of the vehicle buses, augments the raw data with availability, classification, and context information, publishes the raw data to a publish/subscribe topic hosted to the storage, and subscribes at least a second ECU of the vehicle to the topic. A database of the central gateway is accessed, according to a determined type of raw data received by a central gateway of a vehicle from an electronic control unit (ECU) via a vehicle bus, for augmenting the raw data with availability, classification, and context information. The augmented data is provided to a publish/subscribe topic hosted by the gateway for accessing over a communication network by a service external to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9544412
    Abstract: A computing platform of a vehicle may communicate with a plurality of mobile devices. The computing platform may identify a voice profile as matching voice input received from a user, the voice profile associated with one of a plurality of mobile devices within the vehicle; perform speech recognition on the voice input using the voice profile to determine a voice command; and process the voice command in the context of the mobile device associated with the voice profile. The voice profiles may be retrieved from a remote telematics server based on unique device identifiers retrieved from the mobile devices connected to the computing platform or retrieved from storage of the mobile devices connected to the computing platform.

  • Publication number: 20150310851
    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to communicate with an application running on an extra-vehicular device. The processor is also configured to determine if new voice-recognition improvement data exists on the device. Further, the processor is configured to download any new improvement data determined to exist on the device. Additionally, the processor is configured to store the downloaded data in a voice-recognition profile associated with a driver and utilize the downloaded data in voice-recognition when the driver attempts voice input.

  • Publication number: 20150277114
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storable medium, storing instruction that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to establish a communication connection with a vehicle navigation system. The processor may receive graphical moving map data from the navigation system at a primary interface. The processor may stream the graphical moving map data to a vehicle dash display and update the vehicle dash display based on the graphical moving map data. The processor may output the graphical moving map data at the vehicle dash display.
