Abstract

A broadcast filtering system for a vehicle includes a controller programmed to, in response to receiving a commercial offering from a broadcasting business via a dedicated short-range network broadcast and identifying a match between a classification associated with the business and a user-defined preferred classification associated with the vehicle, display the offering, and, in response to identifying no match between the respective classifications, prevent the display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A broadcast filtering system for a vehicle comprising:
a controller programmed to,
in response to receiving a commercial offering from a broadcasting business via a dedicated short-range network broadcast and identifying a match between a classification associated with the business and a user-defined preferred classification associated with the vehicle, display the offering, and,
in response to identifying no match between the respective classifications, prevent the display.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further programmed to display the offering in response to identifying the classification as non-restricted among user-defined restriction classifications.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the user-defined restriction classifications comprise at least two of age, location, cost, or rating.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein in response to identifying the match, the controller is further programmed to supplement the offering according to at least one user-specific attribute and to display the supplemented offering.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the applicable user-specific attribute defines a prior transaction with the broadcasting business and the supplemented offering includes details associated with the prior transaction.

6 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the applicable user-specific attribute is stored on an external memory device accessible to the controller.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the classification comprises a business category, a business type, or a business service.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the business service defines making a purchase related to the broadcasted offering and the controller is further programmed to display a list of commands for completing the purchase.

9 . A method for a vehicle comprising:
in response to receiving by a controller a commercial offering and a classification from a broadcasting business via a dedicated short-range network broadcast and identifying a match between the classification and a user-defined preferred classification associated with the vehicle, displaying the offering; and in response to identifying no match between the respective classifications, preventing the displaying.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising displaying the offering in response to identifying the classification as non-restricted among user-defined restriction classifications.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the user-defined restriction classifications comprise at least two of age, location, cost, or rating.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising, in response to identifying the match, supplementing the offering according to at least one user-specific attribute and displaying the supplemented offering.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the applicable user-specific attribute defines a prior transaction with the broadcasting business and the supplemented offering includes details associated with the prior transaction.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the applicable user-specific attribute is stored on an external memory device accessible to the controller.

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the classification comprises a business category, a business type, or a business service.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the business service defines making a purchase related to the broadcasted offering and further comprising displaying a list of commands for completing the purchase.

17 . A vehicle controller comprising:
input channels configured to receive a commercial offering and a classification from a broadcasting business via a dedicated short-range network broadcast; output channels configured to provide signals to display the offering; and control logic configured to, in response to identifying a match between the classification and a user-defined preferred classification associated with the vehicle, generate the signals.
