Abstract: One or more controller may extract voice commands from retrieved web content, format the web content according to vehicle computing system (VCS) specific formatting information, provide the formatted web content for display by the VCS, and update the recognized voice commands of the VCS according to the extracted voice commands. A server may identify whether a received web request for web content is directed to a vehicle sub-domain for providing an in-vehicle-specific version of the content, identify whether the received web request is for presentation of web content via a VCS, and redirect the web request to the vehicle sub-domain when the request is not directed to the vehicle sub-domain and is for presentation via the VCS.

Abstract: A vehicle software management system includes a transceiver configured to communicate information with a server, and a processor in communication with the transceiver. The processor may be configured to receive a file manifest from the server and transmit a list of to-be updated application file(s) based on the file manifest to the server. The processor may be further configured to receive one or more application files from the server based on the list. The processor may be further configured to flash one or more systems using the one or more application files based on at least one of destination file location, installation type, and file identification.

Abstract: A vehicle computing system has at least one controller in communication with one or more transceivers, where the one or more transceivers are capable of communicating with a wireless device. The at least one controller is configured to recognize a vehicle occupant based on a wireless device connection received at the transceiver. The at least one controller is further configured to receive one or more infotainment rules based on the recognized vehicle occupant. The one or more infotainment rules are associated with at least one of time of day, calendar date, vehicle location, and exterior temperature. The at least one controller is further configured to control an infotainment system by adjusting control settings based on the one or more infotainment rules.

Abstract: A point-of-interest information system comprising a transceiver configured to send and receive data and a processor in communication with the transceiver. The processor configured to receive at least a portion of point-of-interest (POI) data from a nomadic device using the transceiver. The at least a portion of the received POI data is in a first format that is incompatible with a vehicle navigation system. The processor may reformat the at least a portion of the POI data from the first format to a second format compatible with a navigation system according to an application programming interface. The processor may transmit the portion of the POI data to the navigation system.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive communication requests from a plurality of applications executing on a remote device, requesting communication with a vehicle computing system (VCS). The processor is also configured to save an identifier for each requesting application. The processor is further configured to establish a single communication channel to handle the communication requests. Also, the processor is configured to order the communication requests for delivery and relay data requests from the applications to the VCS over the identified transport format.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system including at least one controller in communication with one or more transceivers. The one or more transceivers are capable of communication with a device. The at least one controller configured to transmit a request for applications compatible with the at least one controller from the device based on a system identification code. The controller is further configured to receive the application list from the device based on the system identification code and output the application list at a user interface display. The output includes at least one of an icon and a description. The controller is further configured to transmit a request to launch an application based on the selection of the icon at the user interface display and receive the application data. The controller is further configured to output the application data at the user interface display.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a system having a user interface display and at least one controller in communication with one or more transceivers. The one or more transceivers are capable of communication with one or more devices. The at least one controller is configured to receive a request to communicate with the one or more devices. The controller is further configured to establish communication with the one or more devices. The controller is further configured to transmit a request for an application list compatible with the head unit from the one or more devices based on the head unit system. The controller is further configured to receive the application list from the one or more devices and output the application list at the user interface display. The output of the application list at the user interface display includes at least one icon.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes matching application-identifying information of an application to one of a plurality of available user interface templates, each user interface template defining a presentation of common user interface elements included in each of the templates; and providing content from the application in the user interface formatted according to the presentation of the matching user interface template.
