Intelligent User Interfaces

A set of technologies relating to user-adaptive user interface, content-adaptive user interfaces, and exemplary product designs.

Telematics

Next generation telematics will leverage the ability to efficiently communicate between vehicles and their surroundings. 

Real Time Traffic Information:  One important advantage is the ability to immediately convey road and traffic information to vehicles before they encounter the conditions, allowing preemptive action, as desired. 

Ad Hoc Networking:  Since radio frequency spectrum is a shared resource, we propose a method for efficiently allocating spectrum.

Door Closer

The typical door closer has a preset close time, and is sprung at a level to maintain the door closed.  This leads to ergonomic difficulties.  We propose an adaptively timed door closer which includes a sensor to determine door closure timing.
