    摘要: A computing architecture for a motorized land-based vehicle is disclosed. The computing architecture includes a data network comprised of a plurality of interconnected processors, a first group of sensors responsive to environmental conditions around the vehicle, a second group of sensors responsive to the vehicle's hardware systems, and a map database containing data that represent geographic features in the geographic area around the vehicle. A vehicle-environment modeling program, executed on the data network, uses the outputs from the first and second groups of sensors and the map database to provide and continuously update a data model that represents the vehicle and the environmental around the vehicle, including geographic features, conditions, structures, objects and obstacles around the vehicle. Vehicle operations programming applications, executed on the data network, use the data model to determine desired vehicle operation in the context of the vehicle's environment. A driver interface receives the vehicle driver's input. Vehicle control programming, executed on the data network, receives outputs from the vehicle operations programming applications and the driver interface, determines a resolved operation for the vehicle's hardware systems and provides output commands indicative thereof. The vehicle operations programming applications may include adaptive cruise control, automated mayday, and obstacle and collision warning systems, among others. Also disclosed is a new computing architecture that organizes the applications and systems in the vehicle into two groups: driver assistance systems and mobile services and information systems. Also disclosed is a drive recorder that maintains records of the statuses of all vehicle systems and of the driver.

    摘要: A system and method are described for processing a spoken request from a user. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for attempting to recognize a spoken request from a user with a speech recognition engine above a predetermined level of accuracy. If the spoken request is not recognized above the predetermined level of accuracy, the spoken request is provided to a level one agent. If the level one agent does not recognize the request, a voice connection is established between the user and a level two agent. In another embodiment, a method is disclosed for determining whether a silent response system recognizes a spoken request from a user above a predetermined level of accuracy. A response is provided to the user if the silent response system recognizes the spoken request. Otherwise, a voice connection is established between the user and a call center.
