Abstract: An infotainment system is for a vehicle having a body defining an interior space. The infotainment system includes a playback device receiving and processing a plurality of sets of infotainment data. The infotainment data is organized in a hierarchy. The playback device transmits a plurality of sound signals. Each sound signal corresponds to a respective one of the sets of infotainment data. A plurality of speakers are communicatively coupled to the playback device. Each speaker is disposed at a different respective location within the interior space. Each of the speakers is adapted to receive a respective one of the sound signals and convert the respective sound signal into a corresponding audible sound. A user interface is communicatively coupled to the playback device. The user interface enables a user to navigate between levels of the hierarchy of infotainment data by making selections. Each of the selections corresponds to a respective one of the sets of infotainment data.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method of providing personalized content to a user based on the user's interests and the user's geographical location. The method includes receiving media files from a portable device associated with the user and generating a user profile based on the media files. The method also includes receiving a geographical location of the user from a global positioning system (GPS) device. The method also includes receiving content from a service provider based on the user profile and the geographical location. The method also includes providing the content to the user through an infotainment interface included in a vehicle. The content delivered to the user may include media files such as music or audio/visual files that correspond with the user profile. The content may also include messages about events near the user's geographical location that correspond with the user profile.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a mobile information display system that may be configured by a user to have customized interface screens and to display individualized content. For example, upon starting of the ignition system, the mobile information display system may access a remote server using a radio network interface to download interface screens that have previously been designed by a user. Further, the mobile information display system may download information and content from the remote server, or from other websites, including, for example, navigational information, destination information, calendar and alarm entries, e-mail messages, voice mail messages, personal networking pages, internet phone service, internet audio programs, and internet video programs, among others.
