When the biometric data of the vehicle user match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to display the requested location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user do not match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to identify an offset location based on the requested location and a population density of the requested location and display the offset location.

  • Patent number: 8909212
    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to select a message. The processor is also configured to determine if a phone is wirelessly connected to a vehicle computing system. The processor is further configured to display the message if no wirelessly connected phone is found. The processor is additionally configured to determine if the message was displayed during a connected phone's earlier connection. Also, the processor is configured to display the message if the message was not previously displayed during the connected phone's earlier connection. Further, the processor is configured to skip display of the message if the message was previously displayed during the connected phone's earlier connection.

  • Publication number: 20120122525
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment an apparatus that includes a communication module is provided. the communication module is configured to enable a driver to control the operation of a portable occupant communication device (OCD) in a hands free mode and to transmit a first command to the portable OCD to disable the hands free mode and to activate a privacy mode for enabling the driver to control the OCD via switches positioned on the OCD. The communication module is further configured to receive a driver performance signal that is indicative of the driver's performance while the privacy mode is active and to transmit a second command to the portable OCD to deactivate the privacy mode and to reactivate the hands free mode based on the driver performance signal.
