Disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for setting a destination at a vehicle navigation system and methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for setting a destination in a vehicle navigation system. In an illustrative embodiment, a method of setting a destination at a vehicle navigation system includes: connecting, by the vehicle, to a wireless device of a vehicle occupant; receiving, by the vehicle, a location signal from the wireless device indicating a geographical location corresponding to a selected media file on the wireless device; generating, by the vehicle, a destination location responsive to the location signal; determining a destination location responsive to the location signal; and plotting a navigation course to the determined destination location.

The present disclosure relates to a method for locating a first mobile terminal, the method including obtaining of at least one route of the first mobile terminal, defined by at least: a departure point, representative of a geographical location of the first mobile terminal; an arrival point, representative of a determined geographical location. According to at least one embodiment, the obtaining includes at least: an establishment of a communication between the first terminal and a second terminal, at an instant which is a function of a determined timestamp; a provision of the geographical location of the first terminal and/or a geographical location of the second terminal during the communication. The present disclosure also relates to the corresponding terminals, vehicles, computer program product and storage media.

A method includes generating a test call from a user device to a public safety access point, wherein the test call is generated on a schedule, wherein the test call is configured to test call parameters, and wherein the test call parameters comprise a planned base station site and a planned base station sector, acquiring call detail data associated with the test call, in which the call detail data includes an identification of an actual base station site and an actual base station sector used for the test call and the public safety access point receiving the test call, and wherein the actual base station site collects the call detail data, determining whether the call detail data matches the test call parameters, and generating a pass or fail determination based on the determining step.

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.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for displaying a map. The method provides a first display area to display a map, and a second display area to overlap a portion of the first display area to display (i) a field to receive a search parameter and (ii) a set of predicted locations to view on the map. The second display area is moveable over the first display area in order to decrease its size to allow a larger portion of the map to be displayed in the first display area, or to increase its size to allow a larger number of predicted locations to be displayed in the second display area. In some embodiments, the second display area overlaps a bottom portion of the first display area. In some embodiments, the method is implemented by a map application that executes on a mobile device. The set of predicted locations displayed in the second display area in some embodiments include addresses harvested from applications executing on the mobile device. Examples of such applications include electronic mail applications, text messaging applications, the map application, ticket applications, restaurant reservation applications, social media applications, real estate applications, etc. The set of predicted locations includes in some embodiments addresses associated with previous destinations traveled to by the mobile device.

Successive offer communications are sent to an offer recipient. A first offer communication includes an offer of a merchant and the second offer communication includes an announcement about the offer. The first and second offer communications are each formatted to be rendered by respective communication device, such as a mobile phone of the offer recipient or a Point of Interaction (POI) terminal. The content of the offer communications may be tailored to the offer recipient based on the offer recipient's past transactions within a transaction processing system or a real time geographical location of the offer recipient.

Methods and systems for assessing, detecting, and responding to malfunctions involving components of autonomous vehicles and/or smart homes are described herein. Malfunctions may be detected by receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors. One of these sensors may be selected for assessment. An electronic device may obtain from the selected sensor a set of signals. When the set of signals includes signals that are outside of a determined range of signals associated with proper functioning for the selected sensor, it may be determined that the selected sensor is malfunctioning. In response, an action may be performed to resolve the malfunction and/or mitigate consequences of the malfunction.

Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous vehicles may be automatically refueled by routing the vehicles to available fueling stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A fuel level within a tank of an autonomous vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a refueling threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to refuel the vehicle may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a fueling station, refill a fuel tank, and return to its starting location in order to refuel when not in use.

Vehicular movement detection systems and methods are disclosed. A computing device is configured to monitor sensor data and location data associated with a first user device including one or more sensors, and monitor traffic data associated with a location of the first user device based on the sensor data and location data. In response to the data, the computing device determines whether to provide a user-selectable message to the first user device based on a vehicle speed, proximity to a destination, and vehicle speed relative to traffic speed. The user-selectable message comprises a prompt configured to transmit a search request for a listing location. In response to the determination, the user-selectable message is provided to the first user device. In response to receiving a search request, the computing device is configured to transmit instructions to the first user device to direct the first user device to a first listing location.

In representative embodiments, a digital assistant provides actionable information to a user regarding one or more vehicles owned by a user. Actionable information is typically provided in a “tip” which is a mechanism for presenting information to a user and may be presented in text, audible, or other form. The tips provided by the digital assistant are directed to helping the user with tasks associated with vehicles such as knowing when to obtain service such as oil changes, tire inflation, light replacement, brake replacement, fluid level check/fill, or other service. The digital assistant can utilize user information to automatically book service appointments, recommend times for service or other vehicle actions, route changes and so forth. Tips can also include links to a marketplace where recommended services can be obtained.
