Patent number: 11474624Abstract: According to one or more aspects, a system for vehicle user interface (UI) management includes an interface component, an operation component, a presentation logic, and a rendering component. The interface component may include a display portion located at a first position and an input portion located at a second position different than the first position. The input portion may receive one or more user inputs and include a touch sensitive portion, a first button, and a second button. The operation component may select one or more modes for a UI based on one or more of the user inputs. The presentation logic may generate one or more objects based on a selected mode and presence information associated with one or more of the user inputs. The rendering component may render one or more of the objects to form a composite image at the display portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ross Cameron Miller, Matthew Conway, Richard Alan Ewing, Jr.

Patent number: 8160565Abstract: An electronic device and a telecommunication device that are locally connected and methods of utilizing those devices are described herein. The electronic device detects a pattern or duration of user interactions with a multidirectional control of the electronic device. Based on the pattern or duration and association data mapping patterns or durations to commands, the electronic device selects a command and then transmits the command to the telecommunication device. The telecommunication device enables a user to associate actions to be performed by the telecommunication device with patterns or durations of user interaction with the multidirectional control. Also, the telecommunication device receives a signal from the electronic device that is recognized as a command to perform an action, the recognition being based on association data mapping the signal to a pattern or duration of user interaction. The telecommunication device then performs the action.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Winston Wang, Jason W. Valalik, Jonathan L. Mann, Richard Alan Ewing, Jr.
