Patent number: 10491733Abstract: One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for privacy management are provided herein. In one or more embodiments, privacy management may be provided by adjusting the way a system provides notifications, handles communications, or executes applications based on the presence or positioning of one or more occupants within a vehicle. In other words, a vehicle may provide notifications in a first manner when merely a driver is present but provide notifications in a second manner (e.g., different than the first manner) when an additional occupant is detected. Sensors may be utilized to detect the presence or positioning of occupants and communications or applications may be managed accordingly. In this manner, privacy management is provided, thus enhancing security of applications or communications utilized by occupants of a vehicle, such as a driver, for example.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Steven Feit, Ross Cameron Miller, Matt Conway, Michael Smith, Sophie Milton, Churu Yun

Patent number: 10289260Abstract: One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for application management are provided herein. For example, a system for application management may launch or execute multiple applications, such as a first application and a second application. The system for application management may provide a user with different ways of multi-tasking or ways to switch between applications, such as providing or generating home screen shortcuts for a most recently utilized application or a most frequently launched application. Additionally, the system for application management may enable multi-tasking or swapping of applications when a user double taps a home button, initiates a swipe gesture, hits a task swap button, speaks a voice command, etc. In this manner, application management is provided such that a user may engage in the use of multiple applications or switching between in a quick or efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Steven Feit, Ross Miller, Michael Smith, Matt Conway, Sophie Milton, Churu Yun, Ric Ewing
