    Abstract: A method of operating a voice assistant system (30) of a vehicle (20) includes inputting (104) a voice input (200) into a computing device (28), and converting (106) the voice input into a natural language input text data file (224) with a speech-to-text converter (50). The natural language input text data file is analyzed (108) to determine a requested action (108). An action identifier (44) determines if the requested action is a cloud-based action (112) or an on-board based action (122). When the requested action is determined to be the cloud-based action, the computing device communicates (114) the text data file to a cloud-based service provider (226). When the requested action is determined to be the on-board based action, then the computing device executes (126) the requested action with a skill (46) operable on the computing device to perform the requested action.

    Abstract: A compliant display assembly employing a glass outer screen is configured to permit bending of the glass outer screen without buckling or cracking. The compliant display assembly includes a planar glass sheet, a first planar housing, a second planar housing, and a hinge, wherein the first planar housing is pivotably coupled to the second planar housing via the hinge. The planar glass sheet is attached to the first and second planar housings. The first planar housing is arranged to pivot relative to the second planar housing via the hinge. The hinge is arranged to limit the pivot angle between the first planar housing and the second planar housing to a maximum pivot angle. The hinge is arranged to secure the first planar housing in relation to the second planar housing.

    Abstract: A bi-modal dimming mirror includes a display and a switchable mirror configured to vary in transmissivity in response to a dimming control signal, which includes one or more of an LCD voltage, a rotator control signal, and/or a polarizer control signal. The bi-modal dimming mirror includes a visible segment overlying the display panel and a sample segment for calibrating the transmissivity or the reflectivity of the switchable mirror. A light source projects a light beam through the sample segment, which is measured by a light sensor. A liquid crystal cell changes polarization of light passing therethrough in response to application of an LCD voltage. In some embodiments, an active absorptive polarizer varies in absorption of polarized light in response to a polarizer control signal. An active polarization rotator varies rotation of polarized light in response to a rotator control signal.

    Abstract: A system and method for generating a second file in a target using a first file and a difference file is provided. The system also provides for a method of transferring a difference file from a source device to the target device in a two or more partial blocks which may be transferred independently and which do not all need to be stored in the target device at any given time. The partial blocks of the subject system each include a plurality of segments, which may each function as a difference instruction to instruct the target device to generate a corresponding portion of the second file. Each of these segments may include a reference to source data within the first data or a reference to new plain data that is provided within the partial block. In this way, the second file may be accurately constructed while minimizing the data transferred.

    Abstract: A dimmable display lens system and method is provided which includes a display element configured to emit light. The system and method also includes a dimmable lens disposed in the direction of light emission of the display element and configured to increase the transmission of light emitted by the display through the dimmable lens. The dimmable lens also includes a control system configured to increase the transmission of light emitted by the display according to a plurality of light transmission incremental steps. The control system includes a feedback control system configured to adjust the transmission of light through the dimmable lens based at least on the measured values of an ambient light sensor and a forward looking light sensor.

    Abstract: A system includes first and second light sensors, first and second electronic displays and a control circuit. The first light sensor may face a first direction and generates a first light intensity signal by logarithmic light sensing. The first electronic display may face the first direction and has a first brightness responsive to a first brightness signal. The second light sensor may face a second direction and generates a second light intensity signal by logarithmic light sensing. The second direction may be substantially opposite the first direction. The second electronic display may face the second direction and has a second brightness responsive to a second brightness signal. The control circuit may be configured to generate the first and second brightness signals that automatically adjust the first and second brightness of the first and second electronic displays using the first light intensity signal and the second light intensity signal.

    Abstract: A display with local dimming backlight and an active privacy mode. The display may include a backlight source, lenses, a passive diffuser, an active diffuser and a transmissive display. The backlight source may define a two-dimensional matrix of light sources configured to generate an initial light. The lenses may be mounted adjacent to the backlight source, aligned with the light sources, and configured to generate a collimated light. The passive diffuser may be mounted adjacent to the lenses and configured to spatially spread the collimated light. The active diffuser may be mounted adjacent to the passive diffuser, configured to generate an intermediate light in response to the collimated light, and configured to change a diffusive property of the intermediate light in response to a scattering signal. The transmissive display may be mounted adjacent to the active diffuser and configured to generate multiple visible images by modulating the intermediate light.
