As such, the passenger/occupant/driver is notified by the ADAS message in a passive manner.
Claims18
A system for managing an alert for a wearable device in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a data store comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the managing of the alert;
- a processor that executes the program of instructions, the instruction comprising the following steps:
- receiving a message based on a sensed parameter associated with the vehicle;
- determining whether the message is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) alert type;
- in response to the message being of the ADAS alert type, generating an ADAS alert;

- a data store comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the managing of the alert message;
- a processor that executes the program of instructions, the instruction comprising the following steps:
- receiving a message from the vehicle's electronic system;
- determining whether message is of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) type;
- in response to the message being of the ADAS type, generating a notification via the wearable device, and
- in response to the message being not of the ADAS type, the system being placed in a state to receive a subsequent message.
A method for receiving advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) type messages, comprising:
- receiving an ADAS alert message via a wearable device worn by a passenger in a vehicle;
