1. A vehicle cruise control system, comprising:
- a plurality of one touch pre-set cruise control speed buttons each button corresponding to a respective legal roadway speed wherein the speed is selected by depressing one button;
a first cruise control logic circuitry module coupled to said pre-set cruise control speed buttons and configured for implementing control of a vehicle speed to maintain the respective pre-set cruise control speed corresponding to a selected one of said pre-set cruise control speed buttons; and
a second cruise control circuitry module comprising original equipment manufacturer cruise control circuitry of a vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle cruise control system comprises a plurality of pre-set cruise control speed buttons and cruise control logic circuitry coupled to the pre-set cruise control speed buttons. Each one of the pre-set cruise control speed buttons corresponds to a respective pre-set cruise control speed. The cruise control logic circuitry is configured for implementing control of a vehicle speed to maintain the respective pre-set cruise control speed corresponding to a selected one of said pre-set cruise control speed buttons.

11. A method for facilitating vehicle cruise control operation, comprising:
-
receiving a speed control request signal corresponding to a selected one of a plurality of pre-set one touch cruise control speed buttons each corresponding to a respective pre-set cruise control speed, wherein cruise control speed is selected by depressing only one button, wherein each button corresponds to preset speed rather than to a digit of a desired speed as in a numeric keypad; and implementing control of a vehicle speed to maintain the respective pre-set cruise control speed corresponding to the selected one of said pre-set cruise control speed buttons in response to receiving the speed control signal; implementing control of the vehicle speed includes determining the respective pre-set cruise control speed and outputting a control signal corresponding to the respective preset cruise control speed; determining the respective pre-set cruise control speed is performed by a first cruise control circuitry module comprising said pre-set cruise control speed buttons; outputting the control signal includes outputting the control signal from the first cruise control circuitry module for reception by a second cruise control circuitry module comprising original equipment manufacturer cruise control circuitry of a vehicle; the control signal is configured for activating the second cruise control circuitry module; and the control signal simulates a signal interpretable by logic of the second cruise control circuitry module. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
