In-vehicle messaging

摘要

In-vehicle messaging includes intercepting an incoming communication on a mobile communication device. The incoming communication is received by a messaging application on the mobile communication device. The in-vehicle messaging also includes parsing the communication, associating elements of the communication with metadata of a digital music application, and transmitting the communication, as well as instructions for handling the communication, over a communication link between the mobile communication device and a vehicle stereo system for presentation on a component of the vehicle stereo system.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a computer processor communicatively coupled to a vehicle stereo system and a mobile communication device, a display component of the vehicle stereo system configured to display communications received by the vehicle stereo system from the mobile communication device; and logic executable by the computer processor, the logic configured to: intercept an incoming communication on the mobile communication device, the incoming communication received by a messaging application; parse the communication into elements; associate the elements with metadata of a digital music application, the elements associated by a mapping function that maps metadata of the messaging application to metadata of the digital music application; implement a mapping between a communication response function attributed to the messaging application with respect to the communication and a vehicle input control option of the vehicle stereo system that is configured to perform a function associated with the digital music application, the communication response function identifying options for responding to the communication; and transmit the communication, and instructions for handling the communication that correspond to the mapping, over a communication link between the mobile communication device and the vehicle stereo system for visual presentation on the display component of the vehicle stereo system responsive to selection of the vehicle input control option, the instructions for handling the communication including instructions for implementing the options for responding to the communication, the options including a user-generated reply message.
