The present invention relates to a communication system comprising a removable device comprising a display screen, and a docking device apt to receive the removable device.

Each of the removable device and the docking device comprises an extreme high frequency communication chip, the communication chips being positioned opposite each other when the removable device is received in the docking device and are apt to exchange digital data between each other.

The display screen is apt to display images from the digital data sent by the communication chip of the docking device to the communication chip of the removable device.

An on-demand mobile lawyer method includes receiving a live consultation request from a user, automatically receiving a live-stream of video images of the user and surroundings and storing the video images, automatically searching a plurality of records associated with a plurality of lawyers stored in a remote database, automatically identifying at least one lawyer licensed in a jurisdiction that corresponds to a current location of the user, automatically transmitting at least one notification to the identified at least one lawyer, live-streaming captured video images of the user for viewing by the identified at least one lawyer, automatically receiving and storing live-streaming video images of the identified at least one lawyer in the remote database, and automatically transmitting the live-streaming video images of the identified at least one lawyer to be displayed on a display screen viewable by the user.

In one aspect, an example method to be performed by a vehicle-based media system includes (a) receiving audio content; (b) causing one or more speakers to output the received audio content; (c) using a microphone of the vehicle-based media system to capture the output audio content; (d) identifying reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content; (e) identifying visual content based at least on the identified reference audio content; and (f) outputting, via a user interface of the vehicle-based media system, the identified visual content.

A method and a system configured to execute the mentioned method is suggested, where the method is capturing media content associated with at least one object, using a plurality of media capturing devices, each carried by a mobile communication device, together forming a mobile media device. The method comprise: controlling each of the mobile media devices according to a respective, predefined role and role specific rules for mobile media device movements, while capturing media content, following the movement of the at least one determined object; acquiring sensor data, indicative of the mobile media device movements, from the mobile media devices, and updating the roles of the mobile media devices, based on the acquired sensor data.

A control system for a vehicle display, such as a CHMSL, includes a control system module having an OEM connector first portion pre-attached to input wires and OEM connector second portion pre-attached to output wires. In another example, a control system for a vehicle display includes a control system module having a control system module input adaptor for removably connecting the control system module to an OEM first connector portion and a control system module output adaptor for removably connecting the control system module to an OEM second connector portion. Control systems for a vehicle display can be inserted between an input system and a vehicle display without having to identify specific wire harnesses or wires, and without cutting any wires. Different adaptors can be used to insert a single disclosed control system between an input system and a vehicle display in multiple types and makes of vehicles.

In one embodiment, an image analysis is performed on an image captured using a camera mounted on an autonomous vehicle, the image representing an exterior environment of an autonomous vehicle. Localization information surrounding the autonomous vehicle is obtained at a point in time. A perception of an audience external to the autonomous vehicle is determined based on the image analysis and the localization information. One or more content items are received from one or more content servers over a network in response to the perception of the audience. A first content item selected from the one or more content items is displayed on a display device mounted on an exterior surface of the autonomous vehicle.

Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that limits the incentive for authorized users to share content with unauthorized users, while still allowing users to access content virtually anywhere. Specifically, the media guidance application allows an authorized user to receive only a portion of a media asset that he or she is authorized to access on a different device, after a designated time period, and/or when the remaining portion of the media asset is inaccessible.

According to a vehicle display system, a mobile terminal apparatus includes: a primary-screen-view display section that displays an output screen-view generated with execution of an application on the mobile terminal apparatus as a primary screen-view; a conversion section that converts the primary screen-view into a secondary screen-view complying with a vehicle apparatus; a manipulation layer generation section that generates a manipulation layer to manipulate the application; a state layer generation section that generates a state layer indicating a state of the mobile terminal apparatus; and a transmission section that transmits the secondary screen-view, the manipulation layer, and the state layer to the vehicle apparatus. The vehicle apparatus includes a secondary-screen-view display section that displays the manipulation layer and the state layer on the vehicle apparatus itself together with the secondary screen-view.

A vehicle includes a plurality of broadcast reception antennae; a speaker; and an audio-video-navigation (AVN) device electrically connected to the plurality of broadcast reception antennae and the speaker; wherein the AVN device is configured to receive broadcast signals of a plurality of different frequencies from the plurality of broadcast reception antennae, synthesize the broadcast signals of different frequencies, and provide the synthesized broadcast signal to the speaker to output a sound corresponding to the synthesized broadcast signals.

Described herein are systems and methods that provide for asymmetric image splitter image stream applications. In one embodiment, a system supporting image multi-streaming comprises an asymmetric image splitter engine that splits super-frame image streams into two or more image streams and a fractional clock divider circuit. The fractional clock divider may comprise a digital feedback control loop and a one-bit sigma delta modulator. The fractional clock divider circuit may provide compatible display clock frequencies for each of the two or more image streams. When a multi-image stream comprises the two image streams, the asymmetric image splitter engine adjusts a vertical asymmetry of a first image stream with a shortest height to same height as a second image stream by adding vertical padding to the first image stream. The super-frame image streams may comprise image streams from video, LIDAR, radar, or other sensors.
