Definitions

  • FIG. 5 depicts a method for transmitting vehicle information to the OCD in accordance to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 depicts a method for receiving vehicle information at the OCD in accordance to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 10 depicts a method for receiving vehicle information at the OCD in accordance to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • Various embodiments of the present invention may enable the transmission of vehicle data to an occupant communication device (such as a cell phone, text messaging device or other suitable device that enables user input (e.g., button selection or voice input)) to transmit data to another communication device.
  • the OCD may use the vehicle information to control the manner in which data is input therein by a vehicle occupant.
  • FIGS. 1-10 generally illustrate and describe a plurality of controllers (or modules/devices), or other electrically based components. All references to the various controllers and electrically based components and the functionality provided for each, are not intended to be limited to encompassing only what is illustrated and described herein. While particular labels may be assigned to the various controllers and/or electrical components disclosed, such labels are not intended to limit the scope of operation for the controllers and/or the electrical components.
  • the controllers may be combined with each other and/or separated in any manner based on the particular type of electrical architecture that is desired in the vehicle.
  • the device 22 uses the signal LDW and the signal BSM to monitor for space management events.
  • the LDW module 44 is configured to trigger and event if the vehicle departs from either a left or right side of the lane and the BSM module 48 provides an alert to notify the driver that a vehicle is in the detection zone.
  • the device 22 uses such alerts to monitor for space management events.
  • the triggering of both a BSM event and a LDW event may be indicative of a poor driving performance.
  • the APIM 50 may be implemented as part of the SYNC system developed by Ford Motor Company® and Microsoft®.
  • the OCD 52 may include any number of communication devices that use a wireless protocol 54 .
  • one such wireless protocol 54 may include BluetoothTM or other suitable protocols.
  • the OCD 52 may use any protocol that is generally situated to facilitate wireless communication.
  • the APIM 50 may wirelessly transmit a number of vehicle related signals to the OCD 52 . This will be explained in more detail below.
  • the OCD 52 may be a phone, a text messaging device, a music generating device (such as a phone that plays MP3 songs) whereby all of such items use the BluetoothTM protocol to communicate.
  • the OCD 52 may include other devices such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) based music playback devices (e.g., ZuneTM and iPod® by Apple®).
  • the OCD 52 may include a link that is hardwired coupled into a line-in input provided on the APIM 50 . Such a link may receive an input from music playback device to transmit audio via speakers in the vehicle.
  • the APIM 50 is configured to also monitor when a call occurred and the length of call performed by the secondary driver.
  • the APIM 50 transmits a signal OCD_USAGE to the device 22 .
  • the signal OCD_USAGE corresponds to the time in which a call took place and the amount of time a particular driver used the OCD 52 .
  • the device 22 may generate a report that details various recorded events and profiles for the secondary driver and transmit the same over a signal REPORT to the APIM 50 .
  • Such recorded events may include, but not limited to, vehicle speed, lane departures, OCD usage, and pair status.
  • the APIM 50 may wirelessly transmit the report over an output link 53 via any OCD to be uploaded into a server (not shown) so that the primary driver can review the same over a computer.
  • Methods that can be used to wirelessly transmit data from the vehicle with the link 53 may include, but not limited to, voice over data (such as but not limited to, services provided by Airbiquity®, data channels provided on OCD 52 , or Wifi).
  • a USB port 55 (or other suitable communication port) may be positioned in the vehicle so that the primary driver can download the report and profiles generated for the secondary driver as desired.
  • the OCD 52 may prevent the driver from manually inputting data via the switches 56 located directly on the OCD 52 .
  • the driver may input data into the OCD 52 through voice command (e.g., hands free operation) as enabled via the APIM 50 or switches positioned throughout the vehicle. The driver can verbally command the OCD 52 to dial a particular number/contact, hang up, etc.
  • FIG. 4 depicts a method 120 for receiving vehicle information at the OCD 52 from the APIM 50 in accordance to one embodiment of the present invention. It is recognized that the operations disclosed in connection 120 may be executed in any suitable arrangement and that the operations are not intended to be executed solely in the manner shown.
  • the APIM 50 determines whether the driver is the primary driver or the secondary driver based on the information included on the signal DRIVER_STATUS_ 1 . If the driver of the vehicle is the primary driver, then the method 150 remains in operation 164 and there are no restrictions imposed on the primary driver based on the vehicle information. If the driver of the vehicle is the secondary driver, then the method 150 moves to operation 165 .
  • the APIM 50 transmits the signal PAIR_STATUS that indicates that the OCD 52 is not paired to the APIM 50 .
  • the device 22 may transmit a visual or audible warning and request the driver to pair his/her OCD 52 to the APIM 50 .
  • the APIM 50 determines that the driver's performance is not adequate (e.g., non-acceptable DIMON ratings and/or the existence of LDW, ESC, NEAR MISS, TAILGATE, and/or BSM events), then the method 200 moves to operation 218 .
  • a condition may indicate, among other things, that the driving performance is poor while the driver is using the OCD 52 .
  • the signal BSM_EVENTS is included on the signal DRIVER_PERF, however, it is recognized that a blind-spot monitoring event may not be caused by the driver but another vehicle. Nonetheless, it may be necessary to warn the driver and terminate the privacy mode.
  • the OCD 52 disables control of the switches 56 .
  • the OCD 52 may terminate the call altogether in the event the driver is exhibiting a poor driving performance.
  • the APIM 50 may transmit a control signal to the OCD 52 to command the OCD 52 to simply terminate the call.
  • the method 300 determines that the driver has not selected the privacy mode feature, then the method 300 remains in operation 320 . If the APIM 50 determines that the driver has selected the privacy mode, then the method 300 moves to operation 322 .
  • the OCD 52 receives the signal DRIVER_STATUS_ 2 from the APIM 50 to determine driver identity. If the driver of the vehicle is the primary driver, then no restrictions are imposed. If the driver of the vehicle is the secondary driver, then the method 340 moves to operation 346 .
  • the method 340 moves to operation 350 . If the OCD 52 determines that the privacy mode is to be deactivated, then the method 340 moves to operation 354 .
