A domestic destinator having an entry means is provided that is portable and may have a charging means, cable, wireless capabilities and or is an application suitable to run on computing devices and can include a monitor with a screen having a mounting accessory comprised of a base with a connecting means to a surface and a shaft. A domestic destinator capable of receiving destination entry to organize a list of locations in various visiting scenarios to display routing and navigation maps.

A method comprising causing display of a portion of map information on a display, receiving information indicative of a first display input at a first display input position that corresponds with a first map position along a traversable path that is indicated by the displayed portion of the map information, causing display of first supplemental map information that comprises at least one element associated with the first map position that is absent from the map information, receiving information indicative of a first non-display input at a first non-display input position, determining a second map position along the traversable path based on the first non-display input position, the second map position failing to correspond with the displayed portion of the map information, and causing display of second supplemental map information that comprises at least one element associated with the second map position that is absent from the map information is disclosed.

A navigation device with the auto mirroring function includes: a first driving route calculator configured to collect a current position and a destination of the vehicle and to calculate a first driving route corresponding to the current position and the destination by using previously stored map information; a mirroring determinator configured to determine whether mirroring is required based on a predetermined mirroring condition; a start signal transmitter configured to transmit a navigation application start signal to the mobile device when it is determined that the mirroring is required; and a mirroring controller configured to receive and mirror a second driving route transmitted from the mobile device.

A multi-modal navigation system for a vehicle is disclosed. The navigation system is configured to determine a multi-modal route including a driving route to a driving destination and a pedestrian route to a pedestrian destination from the driving destination. Turn-by-turn driving navigation for the driving route is provided, and data for the pedestrian route is provided to a mobile device such that turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation for the pedestrian route is enabled via the mobile device.

An in-vehicle information apparatus includes a main unit having a display device, and a navigation unit providing a navigation function to the main unit. The navigation unit includes a navigation processing unit a sub unit providing an addition function to the navigation unit, and a navigation unit screen generating unit which generates a navigation unit screen for displaying information concerning a function which the navigation unit provides. The main unit includes an operation unit which receives an input for selecting a function from a user, a main unit screen generating unit which generates a main unit screen for displaying information concerning a function which the main unit provides, and a video selector which selects one of the navigation unit screen and the main unit screen.

A spatial infotainment rendering system may include at least one infotainment device configured to present information to a vehicle occupant traveling along a vehicle route at one of a plurality of infotainment locations within the vehicle and at least one spatial rendering processor. The processor may be configured to receive vehicle location and direction information of the vehicle along the vehicle route, receive event data indicative of an event having a potential to affect the vehicle route, and determine an event location based on event data. The processor may also be configured to select one of the infotainment locations based on the event location relative to the vehicle location and direction to present event information to the vehicle occupant relating to the event at a location spatially related to the event location relative to the vehicle route.

A system for controlling a vehicle includes a route guidance device configured to generate a first route to a destination, and a vehicle control device configured to generate a second route to the destination, receives the first route, and outputs the first route and the second route. Therefore, it may be possible to allow a user to easily compare the information provided by the navigation device built into a vehicle with the route information provided by the route guidance device, and allow the user to select a desired route, thereby improving user satisfaction and driving stability.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through an electrochromic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least the driver-side front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant of the vehicle. The camera at least (a) views the driver-side front seating area of the equipped vehicle and (b) views a passenger-side front seating area of the equipped vehicle. The driver of the equipped vehicle is monitored via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of sharing data between devices, comprising determining an event at each of first and second devices, determining a time of the event at each of the first and second devices based on data wirelessly received at the first and second devices, and associating the first and second devices via a communication protocol to enable data communication therebetween if a time derived from an identifier of at least one of the devices used in the association is within a predetermined window of the time of the event at the other device.

In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a system and a related non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing operations incorporating social networking functions into a vehicle. The system can include a user identification subsystem that is configured to detect and identify a user. The system can also include an interactive display subsystem that is configured to generate output for display on a vehicle window. The displayed output generally includes social networking content. The social networking content can include “upload content,” “download content,” or both.
