Enhanced Infotainment User Experience Through Diversified/Expanded Content 2006-21-0055

Automotive infotainment has traditionally focused on static, on-board guidance for destinations with primitive point-of-interest (POI) data. Today, improved functionality and faster, affordable processing power (such as that found in Hard Disk Drive based systems), are creating environments that can support richer content presentations and greater simplicity with more frequent releases of map and POI data, enhanced POIs with detailed information, and media playlist information. New data-transmission capabilities will offer users frequent updates to their onboard data and access to real-time offboard data such as traffic, gas prices, logistics, marketing information, etc. Users will also be able to use advanced content that can support Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS).
