Method and Apparatus for Vehicle Process Emulation and Configuration on a Mobile Platform
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing an interface on a wireless device corresponding to an interface for vehicle infotainment system control;
providing simulated functionality of controls on the interface, such that activation of a control informs a user of what would occur if the control were activated on a vehicle interface;
saving at least one user setting input into the interface; and
transferring the saved setting to a vehicle computing system (VCS) for use in infotainment system control when the wireless device is in communication with the VCS.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes providing an interface on a wireless device corresponding to an interface for vehicle infotainment system control. The method also includes providing simulated functionality of controls on the interface, such that activation of a control informs a user of what would occur if the control were activated on a vehicle interface. Further, the method includes saving at least one user setting input into the interface. The method additionally includes transferring the saved setting to a vehicle computing system (VCS) for use in infotainment system control when the wireless device is in communication with the VCS.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
establishing communication between a vehicle computing system (VCS) and a wireless device; determining that the wireless device has one or more native functions provided thereto that correspond to functions existent on the VCS; offering a user the option to import the function from the wireless device to use as an alternative to the corresponding VCS function; and contingent on the user'"'"'s selection of an import option, downloading at least some functionality of the native function to the VCS and providing a function control interface corresponding to the native function in lieu of an interface associated with the corresponding VCS function. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
