Abstract
A system and method of generating an in-vehicle favorite contacts list includes pairing a first mobile device with an in-vehicle infotainment system, and transferring data from the first mobile device to the in-vehicle infotainment system. The data includes a contacts list from the mobile device. The transferred data is weighted, and an in-vehicle favorite contacts list is generated based on the weighted data. The generated in-vehicle favorite contacts list is displayed on a display in the vehicle.
Claims16
A method of generating an in-vehicle favorite contacts list, comprising
- pairing a mobile device with an in-vehicle infotainment system;
- transferring data from the mobile device to the in-vehicle infotainment system, the data including a contacts list from the mobile device;
- weighting the transferred data to prioritize contacts of the transferred contacts list, a weight being assigned to the transferred data based on an occurrence frequency during a predetermined time frame, the occurrence frequency including one of
- the number of incoming and outgoing calls to the same phone number,
- the number of incoming and outgoing text messages to the same phone number, or
- the social media contacts determined to be within a predetermined proximity of the mobile device;
- generating an in-vehicle favorite contacts list based on the weighted data;
- and
- displaying the generated in-vehicle favorite contacts list on a display in the vehicle.
A method of generating an in-vehicle favorite contacts list, comprising
- pairing a first mobile device with an in-vehicle infotainment system;
- pairing a second mobile device with the in-vehicle infotainment system;
- transferring data from the first mobile device to the in-vehicle infotainment system, the data including a contacts list from the first mobile device;
- transferring data from the second mobile device to the in-vehicle infotainment system, the data including a contacts list from the second mobile device;
- weighting the transferred data from the first mobile device;
- weighting the transferred data from the second mobile device;
- generating an in-vehicle favorite contacts list based on the weighted data from the first and second mobile devices;
- and
- displaying the generated in-vehicle favorite contacts list on a display in the vehicle.
An in-vehicle favorite contacts list generating system, comprising:
- an in-vehicle infotainment system configured to connect to a first mobile device to receive data therefrom;
- a controller configured to weight the received data and to generate an in-vehicle favorite contacts list based on the weighted data, the received data is weighted by assigning a weight to the received data based on an occurrence frequency during a predetermined time frame, the occurrence frequency including the number of incoming and outgoing calls for the same phone number;
- and
- a display configured to display the generated in-vehicle favorite contacts list.
