Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The described method and system provide for HMI steering for a telematics-equipped vehicle based on likelihood to exceed eye glance guidelines. By determining whether a task is likely to cause the user to exceed eye glance guidelines, alternative HMI processes may be presented to a user to reduce ASGT and EORT and increase compliance with eye glance guidelines. By allowing a user to navigate through long lists of items through vocal input, T9 text input, or heuristic processing rather than through conventional presentation of the full list, a user is much more likely to comply with the eye glance guidelines. This invention is particularly useful in contexts where users may be searching for one item out of a plurality of potential items, for example, within the context of hands-free calling contacts, playing back audio files, or finding points of interest during GPS navigation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for presenting a display screen for a graphical human machine interface (HMI) for a moving vehicle based on likelihood to exceed eye glance guidelines, wherein the graphical HMI is configured, for a task requiring a user to view the graphical HMI, with a conventional HMI screen and an alternative HMI screen, the method comprising: receiving a user input corresponding to the task requiring the user to view the graphical HMI; determining a use…
