Abstract:
In certain embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for controlling information for a user. One or more sensors are configured to obtain one or more inputs from the user, the one or more inputs pertaining to a drawing made by the user on a display corresponding to a geographic region of interest for the user. A processor is configured to at least facilitate identifying the geographic region of interest based on the one or more inputs; and providing instructions for the providing of the information pertaining to one or more points of interest within the identified geographic region based on the one or more inputs.
Abstract:
A method is described for incorporating a new waypoint into a current trip. The method includes configuring a trip definition and thereafter determining a proposed POI based upon: the trip definition, and a collection of potential proposed POI instances. The waypoint server system processes the collection of potential proposed POI instances, to render the proposed POI, by: (1) establishing POI ratings for individual ones of the collection of potential proposed POI instances based at least in part upon: the delay factor, and an estimate of additional delay arising from adding the individual POI to the current trip route; (2) establishing a rank ordering of the individual ones of the collection of potential proposed POI instances based upon the POI ratings; and (3) rendering the proposed POI from the rank ordering of the individual ones of the collection of potential proposed POI instances.

Abstract:
A method of managing wireless devices at a vehicle includes detecting a plurality of wireless devices at the vehicle using a short-range wireless communication protocol; determining that one of the plurality of wireless devices belongs to a preferred group of wireless devices; and creating a short-range wireless link between the wireless device belonging to the preferred group and a vehicle telematics unit.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicles are provided. The system includes a microphone and a processor. The microphone is configured to obtain a request from a user. The processor is configured to at least facilitate automatically generating an interpretation of the request; automatically determining an automated processing recognition score for the request; and automatically engaging a human advisor to further process the request, based on the determined automated processing recognition score.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicles are provided. The system includes a sensor, a memory, and a processor. The sensor is configured to obtain a request from a user. The memory is configured to store voice assistant data pertaining to respective skills of a plurality of different voice assistants. The processor is configured to at least facilitate: identifying a nature of the request; identifying a selected voice assistant, from the plurality of different voice assistants, having skills that are most appropriate for the request, based on the nature of the request and the voice assistant data; and facilitating communication with the selected voice assistant to provide assistance in accordance with the request.
Abstract:
One general aspect includes a system for responsive activation of a vehicle feature for a vehicle, the system includes: an audio system configured to announce information and the vehicle feature; a memory configured to include one or more executable instructions; a controller configured to execute the executable instructions, and where the executable instructions enable the controller to: receive speech inputs from a vehicle occupant located in the vehicle, the speech inputs regarding the vehicle feature; retrieve vehicle feature information from vehicle feature information databases, in response to the received speech inputs; provide audio description information for the vehicle feature information; determine whether at least one received speech input includes a feature activation request; provide vehicle feature activation information to the vehicle feature, in response to a positive determination that the at least one received speech input includes the feature activation request.
