  • Publication number: 20060184968
    Abstract: Channel configuration information is sent to a content service, and the content service determines content to be provided in each channel of a set of channels using the channel configuration information. A first target device receives and stores content for the channels. The first target device may transmit at least some of the content to a second target device and automatically update the content stored at the second target device.

  • Publication number: 20060179129
    Abstract: Channel configuration information is sent to a content service, and the content service determines content to be provided in each channel of a set of channels using the channel configuration information. The channel configuration information also includes user preferences for determining hot content for a user. A device receives the content for the channels including the hot content. The device also receives updates for the hot content based on the user preferences.

  • Patent number: 7089101
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting the driver of a vehicle (10) when performing a driving maneuver, such as a parking or shunting maneuver. In this case, a reference trajectory (16) is determined, along which the vehicle (10) is to be moved. A steering wheel position to be set and controlling the vehicle along the reference trajectory (16) is indicated to the driver during the driving maneuver. The vehicle longitudinal speed is influenced independently of the driver in the event of a steering angle deviation between the actual steering angle actually set by the driver and the desired steering angle corresponding to the requested steering wheel position. As a result, the driver can be given a greater reaction time in order to set the indicated steering wheel position.

  • Publication number: 20060113119
    Abstract: 1. Method and device for assisting the driver of a vehicle during a parking maneuver. 2.1. Known devices for assisting the driver of a vehicle during the execution of a parking maneuver usually comprise surroundings-sensing means for sensing and measuring potential parking gaps, means for determining a parking strategy and information means for outputting instructions to the driver, which instructions guide him into the parking gap. The new method and the new device are intended to provide the driver with better assistance during the execution of the parking maneuver. 2.2. For this purpose, a parking situation image on which the parking gap, an optimum setpoint position and a first and second vehicle are represented in a plan view is displayed to the driver on an image display device.
