Filed:

Oct 13, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/175782

Inventors:

Charles Allen Everhart - Ypsilanti MI
Florian Frischmuth - Dearborn MI
Gary John Rushton - Warren MI

Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

G06F 700
G05D 100
G10K 1100
G10L 1100

US Classification:

701 36

Abstract:

A voice activated control system responsive to spoken voice commands is integrated with an advanced central display/control unit having dedicated and reconfigurable push buttons to control individual vehicle accessories in a complementary fashion as well as in standalone modes. The two controllers share additional input and output resources including reconfigurable steering wheel switches and a heads-up display showing the current configuration of the steering wheel switches. Thus, a driver can control a plurality of adjustable parameters of a plurality of vehicle accessories with a convenient and easy to use interface which makes efficient use of hardware and reduces costs.

Appl. No.:

8/617721

Inventors:

Florian Frischmuth - Dearborn MI
Michael J. Cullen - Northville MI

Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

F02M 3704

US Classification:

123497

Abstract:

A fuel delivery system is disclosed in which fuel pressure at a fuel rail is controlled by controlling electrical power applied to an electric fuel pump. The fuel pressure is controlled to maintain the minimum value required to meet two constraints. The first constraint is the quantity of desired fuel to be delivered by the injectors at wide-open throttle as a function of engine speed. The second constraint is to provide enough pressure to meet fuel requirements as the available fuel injector on-time decreases with increasing engine speed.

Inventors:

- Dearborn MI, US
Sena HERMIZ - Farmington Hills MI, US
Florian FRISCHMUTH - Plymouth MI, US

International Classification:

H04M 1/60

Abstract:

A vehicle computer system comprising a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a mobile device. The vehicle computer system further includes a processor in communication with the wireless transceiver. The processor is configured to transmit a request to the mobile device to activate a voice recognition session of the mobile device, determine an inhibition status of the voice recognition session based feedback to the request, and transmit a resolution instruction relating to a inhibition status of the voice recognition session.
