20110278139 | ROTARY PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH - A vehicle system includes a switch that is movable between first and second positions in a linear direction and moveable between third and fourth positions in a rotational direction. The system also comprises a control module that responds to the switch when the switch is in both the second position and the fourth position. The control module does not respond to the switch being moved from the third position to the fourth position unless the switch is also moved from the first position to the second position. | 11-17-2011 |
20140156183 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR LOCATING AVAILABLE PARKING SPOTS - Techniques are disclosed for reporting occupied and unoccupied parking spaces are disclosed. The techniques include determining that a mobile computing device has entered a parking area and determining whether the mobile computing device has entered a pedestrian mode. The pedestrian mode is indicative of a user of the mobile computing device parking a vehicle and exiting the vehicle. When the mobile computing device has entered the pedestrian mode, the technique includes determining a first location of the mobile computing device at a first time corresponding to the mobile computing device entering the pedestrian mode, and providing an occupied notification to a remote computing device, the occupied notification including the first location and indicating that a parking spot corresponding to the first location is occupied. Techniques are further disclosed for reporting unoccupied parking spaces to the mobile computing device. | 06-05-2014 |
20160023601 | TRAILER HITCH GUIDANCE METHOD - A method of providing visual reverse steering guidance indicators on a display in a vehicle includes having an electronic control unit display on a display in the vehicle an image of an area behind the vehicle that includes a target, display a projected path track of a projected path that the vehicle will travel based on a current alignment of a steering system of the vehicle, display a visual indicator of whether the projected path matches a target path that the vehicle must travel in reverse to align the vehicle with the target, when the projected path does not match the target path, displaying a visual indicator of a direction that a steering wheel of the vehicle must be turned to align the projected path with the target path, and updating the visual guidance indicators in real time as the vehicle is driven in reverse toward the target. | 01-28-2016 |
