摘要:
A method and apparatus in a vehicle computer system for providing location based services. A path is defined along which the vehicle is to travel. Responsive to receiving a request for a location, the path is used as a filter to identify the location. The position and/or directions of the vehicle also may be used to identify the location.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for indicating most recent documents, such as email messages in a message file. A determination is made as to whether a more recent message in a thread of related messages is present in the message file in response to a first user input selecting a message for processing. A first indication of the more recent message is presented if the more recent message in the thread of related messages is present in the message file. A determination is made as to whether the more recent message in the thread of related messages has been received in the message file in response to a second user input to send the message. A second indication of the more recent message in the thread of related messages is presented if the more recent message in the thread of related messages has been received in the message file.
摘要:
A method and apparatus in a computing platform located in an vehicle for restricting access to a plurality of software components, wherein the plurality of software components are used to interface with a plurality of devices located within the vehicle. A request is received from an application for a software component, wherein the request includes a data structure, wherein the software component is a requested software component. A determination is made as to whether the requested software component is present within the plurality of software components. An access level for the application is identified and a result is returned to the application based on whether the requested software component is present in the plurality of software components and based on the access level identified for the application.
摘要:
A process for building a platform compliance test for only software components necessary to an application is disclosed. Initially the application is parsed to reveal only component needed for performance of the application, those components names are then checked against components names which are available to the application. A compliance test consisting of compatibility tests associated with the available components is then generated and used to evaluate platforms in which the application is intended to be developed.

摘要:
A method, system, and computer-readable code with which a computing platform for automobiles can be constructed using software components. In particular, device functionality and platform software functionality available to computer applications are represented as JavaBeans in the Java computer programming language. Applications can be written to run on an automotive computing platform to access the device functionality using JavaBeans components. In this manner, software can be optimized for particular automotive applications or particular environments of devices and/or software, while still providing applications that are usable in a wide variety of automobile computing platforms and device configurations.

摘要:
A process in a computer managed communication network such as the World Wide Web with user access via a plurality of data processor controlled interactive display stations and with a system for displaying documents, e.g. Web pages, transmitted to said display stations from locations remote from said stations which provides the user with a system for the prioritizing of documents presented on constrained receiving stations to users of the Internet in an order personalized to each user's needs and interests which have been heuristically determined based upon the user's past access to such documents through standard desktop interfaces. The user is enabled to interface with the received documents at receiving stations through devices which have greater interface functional constraints than a standard desktop display interface through a process comprising first presenting a plurality of types of received documents to a selected user through a device having a standard desktop display interface, then tracking the interactive activity of said selected user to said plurality of types of received documents and determining the priority of said types of received documents based upon said tracking, and presenting received documents of said plurality of types to said selected user through said devices having greater interface functional constraints in an order based upon said priority. The receiving devices with interfaces having functional constraints may be audible only interface devices, and displays of lesser dimensions or lower resolution than standard desktop displays. The network may be the Internet or World Wide Web. The documents involved may be electronic mail.
摘要:
The present invention allows advanced diagnostics to be loaded into a vehicle on demand with results being sent back to the diagnostic center, possibly requiring a more refined selection of diagnostics based on the results of the previous tests. Thus, a new generation of network vehicle communications with diagnostic centers, via cellular telephone, wireless communications and Internet access via wireless communication link, provide a rich networking topology that allows onboard computers or microprocessors to obtain problem diagnosis information and data while on the road.
