Publication number: 20230152882Abstract: Techniques for implementing an augmented audio conditioning (AAC) system are described herein. In some examples, the AAC system can store conditioning data comprising crowd noise experiences associated with context-relevant environments and/or actions associated with an activity. The AAC system can detect an action of a user who is training in a conditioning environment and determine that the action is associated with the activity. In some examples, the AAC system can also determine an association between the action of the user and audio data representing a crowd noise experience of a context-relevant environment during an event. Furthermore, the AAC system can, in response to detecting the action of the user, output the audio-conditioning data into the conditioning environment to simulate the crowd noise experience of the context-relevant environment during the event.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Moea Technologies, Inc.Inventor: John Correia

Patent number: 8019500Abstract: In examples of the invention, a vehicle diagnostics update mechanism provides a frequent connection to a vehicle telematics unit. In this way, large amounts of vehicle data that are available when the vehicle is on or cached, i.e., when the vehicle is off, can be pulled and used to provide a vehicle update to the user. In one example, a “vehicle dashboard” application running on a vehicle owner's computer in the form of a tool bar provides diagnostics updates in a quick and easy to use format. The tool bar also provides a means for executing user selections and commands and for providing alerts to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: General Motors LLCInventors: Christopher L. Oesterling, John Correia, Carl J Hering, Nathan Ampunan

Publication number: 20070173992Abstract: A vehicle email notification system and method in which triggers are used to initiate the generation and transmission of email messages that provide diverse types of dynamic vehicle information to the owner or other authorized subscriber. The email notifications are triggered by different events, some of which are independent of the vehicle (e.g., a 30 day trigger to provide the subscriber with a monthly vehicle status report), and others of which occur at the vehicle, such as a mileage or low oil life trigger. Upon occurrence of a trigger, the notification system builds and sends to the subscriber an email message that contains the dynamic vehicle information and identifies any detected vehicle condition for which action is needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATIONInventors: Shane McCutchen, Neelie Kapral, Christopher Oesterling, Chester Huber, John Correia, Walter Dorfstatter, Fahd Laghrari, Steven Samolinski

Publication number: 20050157862Abstract: A device for implementing a method of remotely routing a voice call forward to a telematic device is disclosed. The device first maintains a call state of the voice call in response to an answering of call forwarding rings by the telematic device. The device then forwards the calls to the next assigned device in response to a failure of a user of the telematic device to answer fake rings from the telematic device. Such a failure can be indicated by a monitoring of a prescribed number of back ring tones or a dropping of call within a prescribed timer window.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2005Publication date: July 21, 2005Inventors: Jasmin Jijina, John Correia, Ronald Fraser, William Mazzara, Steven Schwinke

Publication number: 20050105509Abstract: The invention provides a method for obtaining an internet connection. The method provides for sending an internet connection request from a call center to a vehicle telematics unit and for providing an IP address and server call in parameters to the vehicle telematics unit. The method also receives an internet connection at the provided IP address with the server call in parameters from the telematics unit at the call center.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2003Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Dwayne Crocker, Andrew Gryc, Mark Glaza, John Correia
