  • Publication number: 20160044519
    Abstract: A system and method for supporting mobile device connectivity with a vehicle. A mobile device is provided that includes at least one connectivity option for connecting to a communications channel of the vehicle. A flexible connectivity module that includes a controller is programmed to determine if there is at least one matching communication channel between the mobile device and the vehicle such that the mobile device and the vehicle may be in communication with each other. The controller selects the optimal connectivity option if there is more than one of the matching communication channels available and monitors the selected connectivity option and changes or modifies the selected connectivity option if a predetermined interference threshold is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20160044364
    Abstract: A system and method for using data that is external to a vehicle in vehicular applications. The system and method include determining data that is external to the vehicle is available for use, comparing the external data to data that is available from a vehicle system, and determining whether the external data has a higher utility function compared to data that is available from a vehicle system. The system and method further include using the external data to enhance a vehicular application if the external data has a higher utility function.

  • Patent number: 9246970
    Abstract: Methods and systems for compensating for delay or jitter are provided. The methods, for example, may include, but are not limited to receiving, by a processor, one or more data streams from one or more electronic devices, transmitting, by the processor, the one or more data streams to one or more displays, determining, by the processor, delay and jitter in the one or more data streams transmitted by the processor, and requesting, by the processor, at least one of the one or more electronic devices to adjust a respective data stream via a communication system.

  • Patent number: 9154923
    Abstract: A mobile device screen projection system for an in-vehicle display is provided. The system receives mobile device content from a mobile device, receives context data from a plurality of information sources associated with at least one of the vehicle and the mobile device, determines an integrated context based on the context data, and selectively renders the mobile device content on the in-vehicle display based on the integrated context.
