`The voice
`recognition technology allows drivers
`imd
`passengers to verbally request and listen to e-
`mail messages. locate a restaurant or hotel. ask
`for navigation help or
`for specific music or
`sports scores. and use voice-activated telephone
`services. all done safely without
`interfering
`with driving. Drivers can use a head-up displflbl
`projected through the windshield to navigate to
`their destination or check vehicle functions
`
`without taking their eyes off the road.
`
`terminals
`Passengers using individual
`next to their seats can do even more, including
`interacting with
`the
`Internet. watching
`television or playing games. Existing services
`such
`as
`theft
`deterrent
`technologies
`and
`emergency services could also be integrated.
`These "smart"
`features are enabled mainly
`because
`of
`the
`real-time
`data-streaming
`capabilities over a wireless network using Java-
`based technology. The Network Vehicle also
`has an integrated cellular phone, Netscape
`Communicator software for Web browsing and
`e-mail, a removable personal digital assistant
`{PDA') and docking station. There is also a
`vehicle web site that provides driver support for
`a wide array of customized capabilities such as
`enabling remote monitoring and control of
`vehicle systems in emergency situations.
`
`Outboard And Off-Board Communications
`Networks
`
`The key to the functions of the Network
`Vehicle is its ability to communicate efficiently
`both onboard and off-board of the vehicle.
`Figure
`2
`depicts
`the
`onboard
`network
`architecture of the vehicle.
`
`At the heart of the onboard system is a
`network computer that
`links up a number of
`sub-networks.
`including a Class II bus (for
`engine, head-up and head-down displays, door
`lock and door actuator, RFID, and cell phone.
`etc.), an Ethernet (for passenger computers and
`displays),
`and a mobile media
`link (for
`speakers
`and CD players}.
`Since
`the
`subnetworks all have different clock speed and

`The off-board network is
`Figure 3. The high bandwidth requirements for
`on-demand audio and video functions
`are
`fulfilled with DirecPC and DirecTV satellite
`broadcasts. A wireless modem provides the
`uplink out of the vehicle directly to lntemet
`service providers. The downlink retum path
`from the Internet to the Network Vehicle can
`come through either the satellite (400 kbps]. or
`through the wireless modem.
`The downlink
`satellite video and data signals are collected by
`the Network Vehicle's roof-mounted antenna
`and processed by their respective receivers.

`system.
`text-to—speech
`and
`recognition
`Viavoicem. for the automotive environment.
`Vial/oice allows the driver to access virtually
`all
`the
`vehicle's
`features
`through
`voice
`commands and enables the vehicle to talk back
`using synthesized speech.
`For example,
`the
`driver can: execute vehicle system commands
`such as lock doors, play CD, and change radio
`station.
`request
`travel directions and traffic
`updates from the Web or other sources, check
`e-mail and voicemail. request news, sports, and
`stock information.
`The speech recognition
`system can understand most drivers instantly,
`with no system training required, and it has
`been tuned to offer optimal performance even
`in a potentially noisy vehicle environment.
`
`Driver and Center Console Displays
`The Network Vehicle is equipped with
`three displays for the driver:
`the head-down
`
`the head~up display (HUD),
`display (HDD).
`and the center console display.
`
`standard
`Th‘? HDD System displays
`graphics for an instrument panel: road speed.
`engine speed. engine status. door lockfajar, and
`fuel level.
`It also displays the functions for the
`steering wheel buttons since these functions
`vary with the entertainment mode that
`is
`selected. The HUD projects a virtual
`image
`through the windshield that gives infonnation
`to drivers without requiring them to take their
`eyes off the road.
`It displays road speed.
`engine
`status, waiting
`e-mail
`indication.
`navigation information, microphone onfoff. and
`a text message area for giving feedback to the
`driver.
`
`The center console's touch-screen LCD
`
`serves as a user interface for controlling nearly
`all of
`the Network Vehicle's multimedia
`
`(office, navigation, entertainment,
`functions.
`and information). When in entertainment
`mode, the display is configured as a radio- or
`CD-style faceplate whose buttons and controls
`are activated by touch (see Figure 4).
`It
`is
`reconfigured to display e-rnail, navigation
`maps, Web browser. cellular phone faceplate
`(shown in Figure 5),
`and more.
`Voice-
`activated commands can be used with all of the
`center console functions and, in some cases, is

`Figure 7. Monitor and Control of Vehicle
`Status via Internet
`
`Under voice control of the driver,
`
`the
`
`Network Vehicle can upload vehicle status
`according to a profile set up in advance. An
`application monitors the diagnostic information
`iwailable
`from components
`in
`the
`engine
`compartment. Should the diagnostics indicate
`that the latest reading from engine sensors falls
`outside a normal
`range,
`the application can
`notify the customer service Web site, where the
`severity of
`the reading can be determined.
`According to this determination, the control on
`the Network Vehicle could be used by the
`service representative to alert
`the driver;
`the
`alert could be done using text-to-speech and
`head-up display,
`and then features of
`the
`application, e—mail, and office could be used to
`arrange
`a
`service
`appointment. Figure

`the Network
`role of
`An important
`Vehicle is providing office functions to mobile
`users. using the same data the users have in
`their 0lT1C6 desktop computers. This function
`is
`mainly
`provided
`through
`vehicle
`applications,
`Internet
`connectivity.
`and
`advanced, voice—based user interfaces.
`It
`is
`
`important for the Network Vehicle to access
`and synchronize personal and business data
`with PDAs, which is becoming increasingly
`important in our mobile, connected world.
`
`A slot built into the center console of
`the Network Vehicle
`accepts
`the
`IBM
`WorltPad“" and uses the Network Vehicle's
`computer to add speech recognition and text-to-
`speech functions. This enables the driver to
`listen to schedules and to update files and other
`office data stored in the Worl<Pad.
`So the
`driver could,
`for example,
`issue
`a voice
`command to read calendar entries from the
`Worl<Pad or dictate a to-do list while driving.
`As PDA and smart card technology advances,
`the Network Vehicle's PDA integration could
`support
`the use of PDA-type devices for the
`secure
`transport
`and
`access of personal.
`financial, and business information as people
`move
`from one network access point
`to
`another.

`This application coordinates with the voice

`screen to provide feedback and control of the
`various systems. helping to keep the driver's
`eyes on the road. For driver convenience and
`safety.
`this application also interfaces via the
`Internet
`to a customer service provider, who
`can remotely monitor the vehicle status. unlock
`doors. turn on exterior lighting. etc.
`
`Graphical user interfaces for Network
`Vehicle's center console and passenger displays
`are developed with Java to provide access to
`various in-vehicle and off—vehicle applications,
`such as navigation, audiolvideo entertainment,
`and office. An Internet server application was
`developed with VisualAge® for Java to provide
`communication
`between
`Internet-based
`customer applications and the vehicle systems.
`These applications support a message-based
`protocol communicating through the Internet to
`the
`in-vehicle
`command
`and
`control
`application, which in turn interfaces to the
`vehicle
`systems
`and
`the
`user
