`
`SYSTEM OVERVIEW
`The Network Vehicle is created by
`integrating existing hardware and software
`technologies
`including
`voice
`recognition,
`wireless communications. global positioning
`via
`satellite.
`head-up
`Cll5P1a3/5-
`-l3""*‘T“
`technology. microprocessors. Web access. and
`121-]
`
`9
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`other
`Internetfintranet
`features.
`The voice
`recognition technology allows drivers
`and
`passengers to verbally request and listen to c-
`mai] massages. locate a restaurant or hotel. ask
`for navigation help or for specific music or
`sports scores. and use voice~activaIc.d telephone
`services, all done safely without
`intertering
`with driving. Drivers can use a head-up displii)’
`p1‘o_iectcd through the windshield to navigate to
`their destination or check vehicle liuncliofl-9
`
`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-
`hased 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.
`
`Oubaara’ And Off-Board Cammurtications
`Networks
`
`The key to the functions of the Network
`Vehicle is its ability to communicate efficiently
`both onboartl 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

`ViaVoice 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

`with no system training required, and it has
`heen tuned to offer optimal performance even
`in a potentially noisy vehicle environment.
