20090243819 | Smart legibility adjustment for vehicular display - A display system for a vehicle system includes at least one light sensor that detects a light condition, and a display member that displays an information message. The information message includes a background and an object that is displayed adjacent the background. The display system further includes a controller that changes legibility of the information message by changing each of the background and the object based on the light condition detected by the light sensor. A method of controlling the display system is also disclosed. | 10-01-2009 |

20100250071 | DUAL FUNCTION TOUCH SWITCH WITH HAPTIC FEEDBACK - A control interface system is disclosed. The system comprises an input device that receives input of a user to control a plurality of systems of the vehicle and a plurality of dual function sensors interposed along a surface of said input device. Each of the dual function sensors includes a first circuit that is sensitive to contact of the user with the surface of said input device and a second circuit sensitive to pressure exerted upon the surface of the input device greater than a predetermined threshold. The dual function sensors generate a first signal when the first circuit senses the contact of the user and generate a second signal when the second circuit senses the pressure exerted upon the surface of the input device. The system further includes a processing unit which receives the first and second signals and controls the plurality of systems within the vehicle based upon the received signals. | 09-30-2010 |
20110301813 | CUSTOMIZABLE VIRTUAL LANE MARK DISPLAY - A method of displaying virtual lane markings relative to a vehicle position within a roadway lane may entail reading vehicle data such as speed into a vehicle control module, determining if the vehicle data is above a particular threshold, switching a virtual lane display switch, determining weather conditions, and displaying virtual lane markings upon a vehicle windshield based upon a result of determining weather conditions. Detecting actual lane markings on one or both of a left side of the roadway lane and a right side of the roadway lane may be accomplished with a vehicle-mounted camera. Moreover, determining whether a steering wheel has rotated a predetermined number of degrees may further play a role in displaying the virtual lane markings on a windshield of the vehicle. From a driver viewing perspective through a windshield, virtual lane markings may be displayed on the windshield to overlay actual lane markings. | 12-08-2011 |

20120101981 | NOTIFICATION METHODS FOR NON-PROGRAMMATIC INTEGRATION SYSTEMS - Methods and systems for retrieving information from an unrelated application that includes receiving automatically, non-programmatically collected application data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the unrelated application; querying a computer-readable storage medium collected application data without user intervention; retrieving identifying data associated with documents stored in the computer-readable storage medium based upon the query; monitoring the collected application data from the mapped location for a change in the collected application data; and upon detecting the change, re-querying the computer-readable storage medium using the changed collected application data and retrieving identifying data associated with the documents based upon the re-query. | 04-26-2012 |
20120102118 | COLLABORATION METHODS FOR NON-PROGRAMMATIC INTEGRATION SYSTEMS - Methods and systems for collaborating when one or more other users view or access the same, similar, or otherwise data. The collaboration method includes automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a first mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a first user and automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a second mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a second user. The integration application determines whether the collected application data from the first mapped location matches the collected application data from the second mapped location, and if the first collected application data matches the second collected application data, that integration application automatically notifies at least one of the first user and second user. The match determination may occur when the users are simultaneously accessing the data or at different times. | 04-26-2012 |
20120102397 | SAFETY METHODS FOR NON-PROGRAMMATIC INTEGRATION SYSTEMS - Integration applications and methods non-programmatically collect application data from a mapped source reference of an application. The integration application retrieves at least one of a document and a list of documents associated with the first collected application data for display on a user interface and monitors the collected application data from the mapped location for a difference with a subsequently collected application data. Upon detecting a difference, the integration application removes at least one of a document and the list of documents from the user interface. The integration application may automatically notify a user of the difference using a visual indicator or an audio signal. The integration application may modify the appearance of at least one of a document and the list of documents on a user interface. | 04-26-2012 |
20120102560 | SYNCHRONIZED SIGN-ON METHODS FOR NON-PROGRAMMATIC INTEGRATION SYSTEMS - Methods and systems for automatically signing a user on to an integration application when a user signs on to another application and signing a user off when the user signs off of the other application. The integration application automatically non-programmatically collects data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the other application. The collected data includes a user identifier value. The integration continuously monitors the collected user identifier value for a difference in the collected user identifier value. If the collected user identifier value is recognized by the integration application, the user is signed into the integration application using the collected user identifier value, and if a difference in the collected user identifier value is detected, the user is signed off of the integration application. | 04-26-2012 |
