摘要： A method of operating a video system includes receiving an image captured by use of a fisheye lens. The image is divided into a plurality of horizontal image lines. A respective fraction of each of the horizontal image lines is sampled with a different respective sampling frequency. Each sampling frequency is inversely related to a size of the sampled fraction. The size of the sampled fraction increases with each horizontal image line in a progression from a top of the image to a bottom of the image.

摘要： A radio tuning method for a vehicle includes sensing that the vehicle is traveling out of a terrestrial broadcast range of a radio station that a radio of the vehicle is currently tuned to. The radio station broadcasts first content. An internet location streaming second content that is substantially similar to the first content broadcasted by the radio station is identified. An estimated period of time remaining until the vehicle exits the terrestrial broadcast range of the first radio station is indicated to the user. A user of the vehicle is provided with an option to switch tuning of the radio from the radio station to the interaet location that is streaming the second content.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to an interaction system for a vehicle. The interaction system includes one or more input devices configured to receive data comprising a characteristic of a driver of the vehicle. The interaction system also includes one or more output devices configured to deliver an output the driver. The interaction system also includes a human machine interface controller. The human machine interface controller receives the data and analyzes the data to identify an emotional state of the driver. The human machine interface controller generates the output based, at least in part, on the emotional state of the driver and sends the output to the one or more output devices. The output includes a simulated emotional state of the human machine interface.

摘要： A method of operating an audio system in an automobile includes identifying a user of the audio system. An audio recording playing on the audio system is identified. An audio setting entered into the audio system by the identified user while the audio recording is being played by the audio system is sensed. The sensed audio setting is stored in memory in association with the identified user and the identified audio recording. The audio recording is retrieved from memory with the sensed audio setting being embedded in the retrieved audio recording as a watermark signal. The retrieved audio recording is played on the audio system with the embedded sensed audio setting being automatically implemented by the audio system during the playing.

摘要： A navigation system for an automotive vehicle that travels on roads includes a vehicle positioning apparatus that determines location data associated with the vehicle. A source of attraction location data provides location data associated with a plurality of attractions that are of interest to a user of the vehicle. A processing device is communicatively coupled to the vehicle positioning apparatus and to the source of attraction location data. The processing device calculates a distance and direction from the vehicle to at least one of the attractions of interest. The calculating is based upon the location data associated with the vehicle and the location data associated with the attractions of interest. A graphical display arrangement is communicatively coupled to the processing device. The graphical display arrangement indicates the calculated distance and direction without graphically indicating orientation of roads on which the vehicle may travel.
