Centralized automotive resource management system
First Claim
1. A motor vehicle resource management system comprising vehicle status signal sensing means for sensing a plurality of vehicle status signals, electronic logic interpretation means coupled to said vehicle status sensing means for interpreting said vehicle status signals for presence of vehicle conditions to be interpreted, annunciating means coupled to an output of said logic interpretation means for annunciating to the vehicle'"'"'s driver interpreted vehicle status signals;
- lock-in means coupled to said logic interpretation means for locking-in at least one of said vehicle status signals;
at least one AND-forming means in said logic interpretation means having at least two AND-inputs and an AND-output for forming an AND-function at the AND-output, said AND-function representing simultaneous presence of a vehicle status signal at each of said AND-inputs, said AND-inputs connected to respective vehicle status signals, and at least one OR-forming means having at least one OR-input and an OR-output for forming an OR-function at the OR-output, said OR-input being connected to said AND-output of said AND-forming means, wherein said OR-output forms an output of said logic interpretation means connected to said annunciating means.
