Abstract
A method and system for warning an operator of a vehicle of a vehicular task that is being performed beyond a pre-determined time for execution of the task involving incrementally increasing audio and visual warnings as the task continues to be performed past the pre-determined time.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring one or more tasks associated with an apparatus to determine if one or more time durations for executing corresponding said one or more tasks exceed corresponding one or more pre-determined time durations;
- and
- providing one or more warning signals with an intensifying value of at least one of said one or more warning signals as time elapses after at least one time duration of the one or more time durations, if said at least one time duration exceeds a corresponding pre-determined time duration of said one or more pre-determined time durations for executing at least one task of said one or more tasks.
A device, comprising:
- a controller, configured to monitor one or more tasks associated with an apparatus to determine if one or more time durations for executing corresponding said one or more tasks exceed corresponding one or more pre-determined time durations;
- and
- one or more interface controllers, configured to provide one or more warning signals with an intensifying value of at least one of said one or more warning signals as time elapses after at least one time duration of the one or more time durations, if the at least one time duration of the one or more time durations exceeds a corresponding pre-determined time duration of said one or more pre-determined time durations for executing at least one task of said one or more tasks.
A module, comprising:
- a controller, configured to monitor one or more tasks associated with an apparatus to determine if one or more time durations for executing corresponding said one or more tasks exceed corresponding one or more pre-determined time durations;
- and
- one or more interface controllers, configured to provide one or more warning signals with an intensifying value of at least one of said one or more warning signals as time elapses after at least one time duration of the one or more time durations, if the at least one time duration exceeds a corresponding pre-determined time duration of said one or more pre-determined time durations for executing at least one task of said one or more tasks.
