Communication system for use in automobile, has user interface to issue delay before and after conveying voice message that indicates holding period representing standby mode of radio interface to caller for adjusting period

摘要

The system has a user interface (4) activating a waiting function to enable a radio interface (3) to remain in a standby mode based on braking and acceleration phases and steering maneuverability when a call is received. The interface (4) issues a tone output and a voice message indicating a holding period representing the mode to a caller. The interface (4) issues a delay before and after conveying the message to adjust the period. A vehicle traffic detection unit analyses driver assistance system data to determine braking and acceleration phases and steering maneuverability. An independent claim is also included for a method of operating a communication system in an automobile.
