  • Patent number: 8700308
    Abstract: A navigation system for a motor vehicle includes: a motor vehicle, a server which is spatially separate from the motor vehicle, and a wireless communication connection between the server and the motor vehicle for the time-staggered transmission of a first navigation information item and at least a second navigation information item from the server to the motor vehicle, the first navigation information item being assigned a first priority and the second navigation information item being assigned a second priority, the sequence of the transmission of the first navigation information item and the second navigation information item being a function of the priority level, and a man-machine interface being arranged in the motor vehicle for outputting the first navigation information item and the second navigation information item to an operator of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8285545
    Abstract: A voice command acquisition method and system for motor vehicles is improved in that noise source information is obtained directly from the vehicle system bus. Upon receiving an input signal with a voice command, the system bus is queried for one or more possible sources of a noise component in the input signal. In addition to vehicle-internal information (e.g., window status, fan blower speed, vehicle speed), the system may acquire external information (e.g., weather status) in order to better classify the noise component in the input signal. If the noise source is found to be a window, for example, the driver may be prompted to close the window. In addition, if the fan blower is at a high speed level, it may be slowed down automatically.
