The present application is a FIG. 31 is a block diagram of a system according to some embodiments. 3108
It Referring to FIG. 31, it is noted that, the adaptive user level interface is of use in uncontrolled environments, such as in a moving vehicle 3106, especially for use by a driver. An intelligent system of the present invention would allow the driver of such a vehicle 3106 to execute control sequences, which may compensate for the limited ability to interact with an interface while driving. Thus, the driver need not explicitly control all individual elements, because the driver is assisted by an intelligent interface. Thus, for example, if it begins raining, the interface would predict the windshield wipers should be actuated, the windows and any roof opening closed, and the headlights activated. Thus, the driver could immediately assent to these actions, without individually actuating each control. In such a case, the screen interface, which may be a heads-up display, would provide a small number of choices, which may be simply selected. Further, under such conditions, there would likely be a large amount of mechanical jitter from the input device, which would be filtered to ease menu selection. Further, this jitter would indicate an unstable environment condition, which would cause the interface to present an appropriate display. A voice input may also be used.
An integrated electronics system for an automobile 3106 is provided having control over engine 3115, transmission 3116, traction control 3118, braking 3120, suspension 3122, collision avoidance 3124, climate control 3126, and audio 3128 systems. Steering 3130 and throttle 3132 may also be controlled. Based on driver preference and action patterns, the system may optimize the vehicle systems. For example, the vehicle may anticipate voluntary or road conditions based on implicit inputs of the user, thus readying vehicular systems prior to the actual encounter with certain conditions. Further, a user interface may be simplified, based on probable required functionality, thus limiting required attention by the driver in order to activate a particular control. By providing such an interface, controls normally inaccesible inaccessible may be made accessible, without increasing mechanical complexity, e.g., functions normally controlled by computer may be accessed through a common user interface, rather than through dedicated manual controls.
The automobile control system may also include collision avoidance 3124 systems, which may include imaging sensors and radar or LIDAR ranging and velocity measurement. According to the present invention, a heads-up display or simplified graphic user interface in the dashboard or near the steering wheel presents predicted options to the driver. An auxiliary interface may also make certain options available for passengers.
According to another aspect of the present invention, an automobile positioning system is provided, which may be extraterrestrial, e.g., geographic positioning system (GPS) 3102, or terrestrial, e.g., cellular base station 3104, LORAN, etc. Such a system is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,390,125, incorporated herein by reference; see references cited therein. A controller 3108 in the automobile 3106 is provided with an itinerary for the vehicle travel. Based on position and itinerary, the vehicle 3106 may communicate with various services 3114, such as food, fuel and lodging providers, to “negotiate” for business. The driver may be provided with customized “billboards”, directed to his demographics. Reservations and discounts may all be arranged while en-route. Communication between the automobile 3106 and the services 3114 is preferably provided by cellular data packet device (CDPD) services, which is a cellular based 832 MHz band digital data transmission system. Therefore, an existing cell phone system or CDPD modem system 3110 may be employed for telecommunication. Preferably, a simple display 3112 is provided for presentation of commercial messages to the driver or passenger and for interacting with the service 3114.
As a matter of practice, the service may be subsidized by the service providers, thus reducing the cost to the consumer. The extent of the subsidy may be determined by the amount of data transmitted or by the eventual consummation of the transaction negotiated.
Because of the positioning system, any variance from the itinerary may be transmitted to the service providers, so that reservations may be cancelled, or substitute services provided in a different location or at a different time.
The telecommunication system may also be used as an emergency system, to contact emergency services and/or police in the event of accident or distress. The transponder system may also be part of an antitheft system. The transponder may also be part of a vehicular maintenance and diagnostic 3134 system to ensure proper servicing and to help determine the nature of problems. Raw or processed data may be transmitted to a centralized station for full analysis and diagnosis. Because the vehicle 3106 need not be at the repair shop for diagnosis, problems may be analyzed earlier and based on extensive, objective sensor data.
It should be understood that the preferred embodiments and examples described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, which is properly delineated only in the appended claims.
