Abstract
A vehicle computing system includes at least one processor configured to communicate with a remote smoke detector device includes a smart device interface configured to provide access to the remote smoke detector device, a scripting application configured to utilize the smart device interface to execute scripting settings to manage the remote smoke detector, and a user interface of the scripting application configured to output one or more messages from the remote smoke detector.
Claims15
A vehicle computing system comprising:
- a processor including
- a smart device interface configured to provide the vehicle computing system with access to a remote smoke detector device,
- a scripting application configured to utilize the smart device interface to execute scripting settings to manage the remote smoke detector device, and
- a user interface of the scripting application configured to output one or more messages from the remote smoke detector device when vehicle conditions satisfy predefined criteria, wherein the scripting settings output at the user interface display at least one of an unlock door request and open garage door request based on the one or more messages.
A system comprising:
- a user interface display;
- and
- at least one vehicle processor in communication with a remote smoke detector device, the at least one vehicle processor configured to,
- in response to receiving an alert message from the remote smoke detector, and vehicle speed being below a threshold, output an unlock door request or an open garage door request at the user interface display.
A remote smoke detection method comprising:
- establishing, via a vehicle computing system (VCS), a communication link associated with a remote smoke detector device;
- communicating information with the remote smoke detector device via the communication link;
- receiving an emergency notification from the remote smoke detector device based on the information;
- and
- outputting an unlock door or open garage door request at the display based on the emergency notification if current vehicle operating conditions satisfy predetermined criteria.
