Patent number: 10205770Abstract: A system is provided for integrating a feature rich application platform operating on a mobile device with a vehicle infotainment system. The system includes a head unit configured to control user interface devices including a display, a command entry device, and an audio output device. The head unit also includes computing resources and a communications interface. A content consumer application operates using the computing resources of the head unit, and is configured to communicate user generated commands over a communications interface to a content provider application executing on a mobile device. The content provider application is configured to direct the user generated commands to one of a plurality of sub-applications on the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2013Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Arvin Baalu, Manu Malhotra, Sangeetha Venkateswaran, Omprakash Meena

Patent number: 9542061Abstract: A system for adjusting a graphical element, such as a widget, a menu, and/or an icon of a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with one or more user actions, applications, and/or electronic media. The adjusting of the graphical element may be based at least partially on data regarding frequency, duration, and/or time of the one or more actions and/or use of the applications or the electronic media by a user. Additionally or alternatively, the adjusting of the graphical element may be based on a routine of the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Arvin Baalu, Manu Malhotra, Trisha Mishra, Aajjay H.

Publication number: 20160050315Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for determining a driver status and presenting the driver status to a calling party. In some embodiments, an in-vehicle computing system of a vehicle includes a display, a processor, and a storage device that stores instructions executable by the processor to receive vehicle status data from one or more vehicle systems and sensors. The instructions may also be executable to determine one or more parameters of operation for the vehicle based on the received vehicle status data, compare the one or more parameters of operation for the vehicle to one or more driver status indicator, determine a driver status of a driver of the vehicle based on the comparison of the parameters to the driver status indicators, and selectively send the driver status to a server, the server being located remotely from the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Manu Malhotra, Trisha Mishra, Arvin Baalu

Publication number: 20140278030Abstract: An traffic detection system (TDS) can receive an information signal associated with a sensed vehicle. The vehicle may be sensed on a roadway by one or more sensors. The system can identify data within the received signal indicative of characteristics of the vehicle, and determine a classification of the vehicle based on at least the characteristics of the vehicle. Additionally or alternatively, the system may determine a traffic pattern associated with the roadway based on at least the determination of the classification of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORTEDInventors: Omprakash Meena, Manu Malhotra

Publication number: 20140181710Abstract: A proximity location system (PLS) can allow for a user to interact with a user interface without touching or speaking into the interface. The system may include or be in communication with the user interface, which may be a touchscreen, for example. The system may also include or be in communication with one or more sensors that can sense an object's size, shape, speed, and/or location with respect to the user interface. From these sensed object characteristics, the system can determine the sensed object's type, feature, and/or state; and from that determination, the system can direct the interface and/or a device in communication with the interface to take an action.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Arvin Baalu, Manu Malhotra
