Abstract: The invention provides a novel and unique system and method for cross channel in-vehicle media consumption measurement and analysis. Real-time measurement and analysis of all applicable forms of media that a driver or passenger may consume inside of an automobile can be achieved. This includes AM/FM radio, Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS), stored media such as CDs, MP3s & DVDs, streaming media, internet radio, audio books, podcasts, text-to-speech content, use of hands-free calling and other forms of audio, including content routed to the In Vehicle Entertainment (IVE) system through integration with a smartphone, media player or other similar external Consumer Electronic (CE) device via wired or wireless connectivity, including but not limited to USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and the like, and also including integration platforms such as Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto, Harman Aha Radio, Panasonic Aupeo, Pioneer Zypr, Ford Sync, MirrorLink, Airbiquity Choreo, and the like).

Abstract: An automatic crash notification system may include a crash detection system configured to detect a crash of the vehicle, a memory system containing a first prerecorded message that includes one or more words that mean that a remote location has received notice of a crash, a wireless communication system configured to wirelessly transmit a message to and wirelessly receive a message from a remote location, a user communication system configured to deliver words to an occupant of the vehicle, and a processing system. The processing system may be configured to transmit notice of a crash over the wireless communication system to a remote location in response to detection of the crash by the crash detection system, and cause the first prerecorded message to be communicated over the user communication system in response to receipt by the wireless communication system of an acknowledgement from the remote location that the remote location has received notice of the crash.
