Abstract
Various embodiments relate to executing one or more functions on a vehicle computing system. Based on input received at a vehicle computing system associating one or more functions in a vehicle with at least one of a user's contacts or other vehicle functions, one or more vehicle functions may be associated with the contacts or the other vehicle functions. The vehicle functions which are associated with the contact(s) or with the other vehicle functions may be displayed and the one or more associated vehicle functions may be selected for execution. The associated vehicle function(s) may be executed in response to the selection.
Claims25
A system for executing one or more functions on a vehicle computing system, the system comprising:
- at least one vehicle computing system configured to:
- receive input associating one or more functions in a vehicle with at least one of one or more contacts or one or more other vehicle functions in order to select the one or more vehicle functions for execution;
- associate the one or more vehicle functions with at least one of the one or more contacts or the one or more other vehicle functions based on the input;
- display the one or more vehicle functions which are associated with the one or more contacts or with the one or more other vehicle functions;
- receive a selection of the one or more vehicle functions which are associated with at least one of the one or more contacts or the one or more other vehicle functions;
- and
- execute the one or more vehicle functions in response to the selection.
A computer-implemented method for selecting one or more vehicle functions for execution in a vehicle, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- displaying at a vehicle computing system one or more vehicle functions having an association with one or more contacts or one or more other vehicle functions, the association being made based on an input associating one or more functions in a vehicle with at least one of one or more contacts or one or more other vehicle functions;
- receiving input at the vehicle computing system selecting the one or more vehicle functions having the association;
- and
- executing at the vehicle computing system the one or more vehicle functions in response to the input.
A computer-implemented method for selecting one or more vehicle functions for execution in a vehicle, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- executing a vehicle function on a vehicle computing system, the executing vehicle function having an identifier identifying an association between the executing vehicle function and one or more other vehicle functions;
- receiving instructions based on the identifier to display the one or more other vehicle functions associated with the executing vehicle function;
- and
- displaying at the vehicle computing system the one or more other vehicle functions in response to the instructions.
