Abstract: A vehicular driving assist system includes (i) a forward-viewing camera disposed at a windshield of a vehicle viewing forward of the vehicle through the windshield and (ii) an in-cabin camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly in an interior cabin of the vehicle and viewing at least a steering wheel of the vehicle. The forward-viewing camera and the in-cabin camera are operable to capture image data. Image data captured by the forward-viewing camera is transferred from the forward-viewing camera to an electronic control unit (ECU) and is processed at the ECU for at least one advanced driver assistance system or to determine a hazardous condition ahead of the vehicle. Processing by the vehicular driving assist system of image data captured by the in-cabin camera determines that at least one hand of a driver of the vehicle is not on the steering wheel of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for implementing a framework that enables application developers to enhance their applications with dynamic adjustment capabilities. Specifically, the framework, when utilized by an application on a mobile computing device that implements the framework, can enable the application to establish predictive models that can be used to identify meaningful behavioral patterns of an individual who uses the application. In turn, the predictive models can be used to preempt the individual's actions and provide an enhanced overall user experience. The framework is configured to interface with other software entities on the mobile computing device that conduct various analyses to identify appropriate times for the application to manage and update its predictive models. Such appropriate times can include, for example, identified periods of time where the individual is not operating the mobile computing device, as well as recognized conditions where power consumption is not a concern.
