  • Publication number: 20240286567
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for creating an individual user profile in an event of an occurrence of motion sickness, including: providing an initial user profile for a user of a motor vehicle; capturing at least one characteristic currently characterizing the user of the motor vehicle; generating a user query; outputting the user query at an output device; capturing an input of the user of the motor vehicle based on the user query; linking the input of the user of the motor vehicle to the at least one characteristic currently characterizing the user of the motor vehicle; and creating the individual user profile by adapting the initial user profile based on the input of the user of the motor vehicle linked to the at least one characteristic currently characterizing the user of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a computer program product, and a support system.

  • Publication number: 20240112677
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle and a method for summarizing a conversation in a motor vehicle. The method involves determining by a vehicle sensor device whether a challenging driving task is present; if the challenging driving task is present, masking a conversation in the motor vehicle for a driver by generating counter noise; recording the conversation in the motor vehicle by at least one vehicle microphone; summarizing the conversation by artificial intelligence; outputting a summary of the conversation to the driver after determining that the challenging driving task is no longer present; and deactivating the counter noise after the outputting the summary of the conversation.

  • Publication number: 20240067090
    Abstract: A method is provided for adapting an adjustment of a mirror surface of an outside mirror of a motor vehicle to an eye point of a driver of the motor vehicle, as well as a motor vehicle having the outside mirror, wherein the outside mirror comprises an actuator, wherein the mirror surface is mounted in a housing of the outside mirror able to swivel by adjusting a respective actuator position on the actuator. In the method, an actuator position is coordinated with a projection point in an interior of the motor vehicle, the projection point being described by spatial coordinates in the interior of the motor vehicle on which a known light source is projected from outside the motor vehicle and directed at the mirror surface of the outside mirror. The eye point of the driver is determined, coordinating the eye point with spatial coordinates in the interior of the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240046663
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle having at least one environment sensing device that senses an environment of the motor vehicle and to the motor vehicle. The method involves: determining field of vision data that describe a field of vision of a driver of the motor vehicle; determining partial field data that describe a partial field of the environment of the motor vehicle overlapping the field of vision of the driver, by evaluating the field of vision data; and reducing sensing or evaluating of sensing data that are sensed by the at least one environment sensing device and that describe the partial field according to the partial field data.

  • Patent number: 9302035
    Abstract: A fluid flow system for a patient comprises a controller and an implantable pump assembly. The controller comprises a processing unit and a battery. The processing unit includes a signal generator and one or more pump operational parameters. The signal generator provides a drive signal. The battery provides power to the processing unit. The implantable pump assembly receives the drive signal from the processing unit and propels fluid based on the drive signal. The system includes a local communication device and a remote communication device that each include a unique identifier produced by a security key generator. The remote communication device includes a code generator that produces encrypted commands. The local communication device receives the encrypted commands and modifies a pump operational parameter of the processing unit based on the received encrypted command.
