Abstract

In one embodiment, a method comprising receiving, at a machine, a first message; operably connecting the machine to a device that comprises a temporary update; loading the update from the device; and mitigating the first message with the update before receiving a more permanent solution to the first message.

First claim

At least the following is claimed:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a machine, a first message;
operably connecting the machine to a device that comprises a temporary update;
loading the update from the device;
mitigating the first message with the update before receiving a more permanent solution to the first message; and
further mitigating the first message by presenting a second message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message corrects an inaccuracy of the first message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message supplements or replaces the first message.

4. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a machine, a first message;
operably connecting the machine to a device that comprises a temporary update;
loading the update from the device;
mitigating the first message with the update before receiving a more permanent solution to the first message; and
further mitigating the first message by suppressing the first message.

5. A machine, comprising:
a first interface device configured to present a first message to an operator of the machine;
a second interface device configured to operably connect the machine to a device; and
a processor configured to:
receive a temporary update from the device via the second interface device;
mitigate the first message with the update before receiving a more permanent solution to the first message; and
further mitigate the first message by presenting a second message.

6. The machine of claim 5 , wherein the second message corrects an inaccuracy of the first message.

7. The machine of claim 5 , wherein the second message supplements or replaces the first message.

8. A machine, comprising:
a first interface device configured to present a first message to an operator of the machine;
a second interface device configured to operably connect the machine to a device; and
a processor configured to:
receive a temporary update from the device via the second interface device;
mitigate the first message with the update before receiving a more permanent solution to the first message; and
further mitigate the first message by suppressing the first message.

9. A machine, comprising:
a first interface device configured to present a first message to an operator of the machine;
a second interface device configured to operably connect the machine to a device; and
a processor configured to:
receive a temporary update from the device via the second interface device;
mitigate the first message with the update before receiving a more permanent solution to the first message, wherein the second interface device comprises a modem that operably connects to the device via a network, and the first interface device comprises one of a device for providing a visual representation of the update, a device for providing an audible representation of the update, or a device for providing a combination of a visual and audible representation of the update.
