  • Propagation of application context between a mobile device and a vehicle information system
    Patent number: 11228886
    Abstract: A method, device, and a vehicle information system are provided for persisting application context from the mobile device to the vehicle information system. An operating context is determined for at least one application executing on the mobile device. A user interface view for display by the vehicle information system is generated and provided to the vehicle information system. The user interface view comprises at least one application user interface element associated with the at least one application, and the application user interface element comprises an application entry point defined by the operating context for the at least one application.

  • Stateful integration of a vehicle information system user interface with mobile device operations
    Patent number: 10402040
    Abstract: A method, device, and vehicle information system are provided for persisting application context from the vehicle information system to the mobile device. The mobile device provides access to at least one application executing on the mobile device to the vehicle information system. On termination of that access, an operating context is determined for each of the mobile device applications where possible. In some cases, where application context is persisted from one system or device to the other, the current data is presented in accordance with a transport modality associated with the other device or system.
