Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive sensor data from a vehicle sensor. The processor is also configured to determine an existence of a condition for which information display has been designated. The processor is further configured to determine a non-vehicular device predesignated for receipt and display of the information and responsive to the condition determination, transfer the information to the device.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive sensor data from a vehicle sensor;
- determine an existence of a condition for which information display has been designated;
- determine a non-vehicular device predesignated for receipt and display of the information, responsive to a determination that a vehicle output is inadequate to output the information;
- and
- responsive to the condition determination, transfer the information to the device.

(canceled)
A computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to a determination that information for display exists, relating to a vehicle-related condition determined from vehicle sensor data, determining a capability of a vehicle to convey the information;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the vehicle is incapable of conveying the additional information, instructing delivery of the information to a predesignated user device.
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- examine vehicle sensor data to detect a vehicle condition;
- determine that information display of information relating to the vehicle condition is appropriate based on predefined criteria, associated with the vehicle condition, for displaying the information;
- determine a format associated with the information, including delivery capability needed to convey the information;
- and
- determine whether the information should be sent to a vehicle, a predesignated information output device, or both.
