International Classification:

B60Q 1/00

US Classification:

340441

Abstract:

A system for communicating to a motor vehicle operator the maximum safe speed at which the vehicle can be operated. The system includes receiver(s), sensor(s), processor(s) and dashboard display(s). The receiver(s) detects a legal speed limit. Sensor(s) detects environmental conditions surrounding the motor vehicle. The processor(s): receive data from the receiver(s) and sensor(s); calculates a maximum safe speed; and calculates a safe speed range based on the maximum safe speed and the legal speed limit. The dashboard display alerts the driver if the maximum safe speed is less than the legal speed limit, and displays the safe speed range if the maximum safe speed is less than the legal speed limit.

US Classification:

707723, 707769, 707E17014

Abstract:

A playlist is generated and modified using a music recommender (MR). The MR may track users' actions to skip a song or listen to the songs in succession. In some embodiments, a mood may be generated by the MR by aggregating arrays of songs that users listen to consecutively based on one or more common traits. The MR may select a mood and generate a playlist automatically in some examples. The MR may be adaptive and modify the users' moods according to users' further actions.
