SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A REMINDER TO REMOVE A MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE FROM A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A vehicle system for determining that at least one mobile electronic device is generally stationary and is potentially forgotten, the system comprising:
- a vehicle data bus transmitting a signal indicating at least one trigger event, the at least one trigger event indicating a vehicle exit condition;
a control module in communication with the at least one mobile electronic device and the vehicle bus, the control module in communication with the at least one mobile device through a data connection to receive information regarding the at least one mobile electronic device, the control module including;
a control logic for receiving the at least one trigger signal from the vehicle data bus;
a control logic for determining if the at least one mobile electronic device has moved based on information received from the data connection;
a control logic for determining if the at least one mobile electronic device is generally stationary if the at least one trigger signal is received, wherein determination if the at least one mobile electronic device is generally stationary is based on if the at least one mobile electronic device has moved; and
a control logic for generating a reminder signal if the at least one mobile electronic device is generally stationary and is potentially forgotten.

Abstract
A vehicle system for determining that at least one mobile electronic device is generally stationary and is potentially forgotten is provided. The system includes a vehicle data bus and a control module. The vehicle data bus transmits a signal indicating at least one trigger event. The trigger event indicates a vehicle exit condition. The control module is in communication with the mobile electronic device and the vehicle bus. The control module is in communication with the mobile device through a data connection to receive information. The control module includes control logic for receiving the trigger signal from the vehicle data bus. The control module includes control logic for determining if the mobile electronic device has moved based on information received from the data connection. The control module includes control logic for determining if the mobile electronic device is generally stationary if the trigger signal is received.

14. A method for providing a reminder regarding at least one mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
-
establishing a data connection between the at least one mobile electronic device and a control module of the vehicle; monitoring the data connection by a mobile electronic device control module; determining if at least one trigger event has occurred by the at least one mobile electronic device control module, wherein the data connection includes a signal indicating the at least one trigger event, and wherein the at least one trigger event indicates a vehicle exit condition; determining that the reminder should be executed based on if the at least one trigger event has occurred; and generating a reminder regarding the at least one mobile electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
