Abstract: Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system to recognize the drivers and/or passengers within the automobile. Based on the recognition, the vehicle may change a configuration of the automobile to match predetermined preferences for the driver and/or passenger. The configurations may also include the recognition of a unique set of gestures for the person. Further, the configuration can also include the tracking of health data related to the person.

Abstract: A vehicle communication system and method for allowing a user device to stream content to a vehicle display is provided. The communication system receives a request from the user device, approves or denies a user request to connect to the vehicle display, and facilitates streaming of an application running on the user device to the vehicle display.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a displayed object movement module that causes displayed objects or other content to be moved from a first source vehicle display to a second target vehicle display at the request of a source vehicle occupant associated with the first source vehicle display.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system that detects emergency signals and presents alerts to devices of a vehicle to notify vehicle users of the emergency signals. Further, the methods and systems provide a presentation approach to continue to alert a user and even control a vehicle when an acceptable response to a first alert, or series of alerts, is not received from the user.

Abstract: A system for vehicle to another party communications that includes a vehicle personality module adapted to create a vehicle personality and a communications system that utilizes the created vehicle personality for one or more communications instead of a user's profile. The one or more communications are associated with one or more of an identifier and an icon representing the vehicle personality, with this identifier and/or icon sent with at least one communication and displayable to the recipient of the communication.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a traffic control system provide arrangements and processes for managing automated vehicles. The traffic control system can register vehicles and then control the operation of the vehicles through a section of roadway. The automated control includes the communication of directions and other messages that ensure the proper function of the vehicle while under the guidance of the traffic control system.

Abstract: Methods and systems of providing home automation information via communication with a vehicle. A home automation system can determine a state of the home and determine when occupants enter a home. The home automation system can identify an occupant and monitor the status and location of the occupant in the home and determine a status change for the occupant, such when the occupant leaves or is scheduled to leave the home, the occupant going to sleep, experiencing a health crisis, or entering an area of the home the occupant is not authorized to enter. The home automation system can send alerts and information to a vehicle operation system of a vehicle and to a communication device of a user. The alerts can include information related to the identity and the status of the occupant and information related to the state of the home.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a microprocessor executable media controller operable to receive a media stream from a remote node, the received media stream being for an occupant associated with an on board vehicle input/output system, identify which on board vehicle input/output systems are restricted due to operator command and/or as a result of a governing law, and provide the media stream, in compliance with any restriction, to a selected input/output system associated with the occupant.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, sensor data, accumulated from one or more sensors of one or more vehicles, is compared to rules or standards. Based on the comparison, a system may generate and provide etiquette suggestions to the one or more vehicles to ensure those vehicles do not create a disruption in the flow of traffic. The one or more vehicles can receive the suggestions and provide the suggestions to a user. The user or the vehicle may decide to act on the suggestion.

Abstract: A mobile computing device with a mobile operating system and personal computer or vehicle processing module operating system running concurrently and independently on a shared kernel without virtualization.
