Vehicle-wearable device interface and methods for using the same
First Claim
1. A transportation vehicle system, for providing feedback to a user-worn wearable device, comprising:
- a hardware-based processing unit;
a hardware-based computer-readable storage device comprising;
a vehicle-function identification module that, when executed by the processing unit;
determines that a trigger condition has occurred, wherein the trigger condition indicates a need to make a vehicle-driving maneuver; and
determines, for responding to the trigger condition, a wearable-communication function including transmitting a vehicle signal to the wearable device, wherein the vehicle signal is configured to notify the user by way of wearable-device actuation of the vehicle-driving maneuver needed; and
an activation module that, when executed by the processing unit, initiates transmitting the vehicle signal to the wearable device.

Abstract
A transportation vehicle system, for providing feedback to a user-worn wearable device, including a hardware-based processing unit and a hardware-based computer-readable storage device. The device includes a vehicle-function identification module that, when executed by the processing unit determines that a trigger condition has occurred. The vehicle-function identification module also determines, for responding to the trigger condition, a wearable-communication function including transmitting a vehicle signal to the wearable device. An activation module causes the processing unit to initiate transmitting the vehicle signal to the wearable device. The technology also in various embodiments includes the vehicle storage device, the wearable device, a storage unit of the wearable device, and processes including any of the operations disclosed herein.
