Abstract
A vehicular system, comprising a vehicle position determining system, an itinerary for the vehicle, an external wireless data communication system, a user interface, and, a controller, the controller receiving information from the vehicle position determining system and the itinerary to determine a relationship therebetween, and presenting location and itinerary relevant information received through the external wireless data communication system through the user interface.
Claims36
A vehicular system, comprising:
- (a) a vehicle position determining subsystem;
- (b) an itinerary for the vehicle;
- (c) an external wireless data communication subsystem;
- (d) a user interface;
- and
- (e) a controller,
- said controller being configured to receive position information from the vehicle position determining subsystem and the itinerary to determine a relationship therebetween, and present position and itinerary relevant information, received through the external wireless data communication subsystem, through the user interface.
4 more elements
A vehicular method, comprising:
- (a) determining a position of a vehicle;
- (b) providing an itinerary for the vehicle;
- (c) receiving information wirelessly from an external location;
- (d) providing a user machine interface;
- (e) determining a relationship between a determined position of the vehicle and the itinerary of the vehicle;
- and
- (f) presenting through the user machine interface information received wirelessly from the external location, based on said determined relationship.
4 more elements
A vehicular system, comprising:
- (a) a user interface;
- (b) a wireless data communication subsystem;
- and
- (c) a controller, adapted to determine a relationship between a determined vehicle position and an itinerary for the vehicle, and present information relevant to the position and the itinerary communicated between the user interface and the wireless data communication subsystem.
1 more element
A vehicular system, comprising:
- (a) a housing, adapted to be transported in a vehicle;
- (b) a user interface adapted to at least present sensory information to a human user;
- (c) a wireless data communication subsystem adapted to communicate with a location remote from the vehicle;
- and
- (d) a controller, provided within the housing, said controller being adapted to determine a position of the vehicle and an itinerary for the vehicle, and present through the user interface information received through the wireless data communication subsystem, which is selectively relevant to the position and itinerary.
