VEHICLE BASED SYSTEM FOR MANAGING PERSONAL ITEMS

摘要

An illustrative example embodiment of a system for assisting a driver with personal items includes a plurality of detectors that detect a signal from a transmitter that has been previously associated with a personal item; and a processor configured to: determine at least one characteristic of a journey, receive an indication from at least one of the detectors regarding a detected signal, identify a personal item and determine its location based on the detected signal, provide an indication if the determined location is different than an expected location based on the at least one characteristic of the vehicle journey, determine whether at least one other personal item is expected to be located based on the at least one characteristic of the vehicle journey, and provide an indication that the other personal item is expected but not detected.

1. A system for assisting a driver with personal items, comprising:
a plurality of detectors configured to detect a wireless signal from a transmitter that has been previously associated with a personal item; and at least one processor including at least one computing device and an associated memory, the processor being configured to: determine at least one characteristic of a vehicle journey, the at least one characteristic being determined near a beginning of the journey, communicate with the plurality of detectors to receive an indication from at least one of the detectors at an input to the at least one computing device, the indication providing information regarding at least one detected signal, identify at least one personal item associated with a transmitter that transmitted a detected signal, determine a location of the at least one identified personal item based on the detected signal, provide an indication regarding the determined location if the determined location is different than an expected location based on the at least one characteristic of the vehicle journey, determine whether at least one other personal item is expected to be located based on the at least one characteristic of the vehicle journey, and provide an indication that at least one other personal item is expected but not detected.
