Vehicle navigation systems and methods for presenting information originating from a mobile device
First Claim
1. A method of presenting information originating from a mobile device on a vehicle navigation system display of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle navigation system, application data from a plurality of compatible applications operating on the mobile device, wherein;
the plurality of compatible applications are a filtered subset of all applications operating on the mobile device, the filtered subset based on an ability to communicate with the vehicle navigation system; and
the application data from the plurality of compatible applications represents one or more entities in proximity to the vehicle; and
displaying one or more icons representing the application data from the plurality of compatible applications on a map presented on the vehicle navigation system display, wherein one or more icons are positioned on the map according to a geographic location of the one or more entities.

9. A vehicle navigation system comprising:
-
one or more processors; a vehicle navigation system display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a user input device communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a satellite module communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide geographic location data to the one or more processors; a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the vehicle navigation system to; receive the geographic location data from the satellite module, wherein the geographic location data is indicative of a geographic location of a vehicle associated with the vehicle navigation system; generate and display a map corresponding to a proximity of the geographic location of the vehicle; receive application data from a plurality of compatible applications operating on a mobile device, wherein; the plurality of compatible applications are a filtered subset of all applications operating on the mobile device, the filtered subset based on an ability to communicate with the vehicle navigation system; and the application data from the plurality of compatible applications represents one or more entities in proximity to the vehicle; and display one or more icons representing the application data from the plurality of compatible applications on the map according to a geographic location of the one or more entities. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of presenting information originating from a mobile device on a vehicle navigation system display of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a vehicle navigation system, a file containing a list of compatible applications operating on the mobile device, wherein the compatible applications are a filtered subset of all applications operating on the mobile device, the filtered subset based on an ability to communicate with the vehicle navigation system; receiving, by a vehicle navigation system, application data from each compatible application operating on the mobile device, wherein the application data from each compatible application represents an entity in proximity to the vehicle, and the application data from each compatible application at least partially originates from a third party server associated with the compatible application operating on the mobile device; displaying an icon representing the application data for each compatible application on a map presented on the vehicle navigation system display, wherein each icon is positioned on the map according to a geographic location of the entity associated with the icon; and displaying information associated with the application data in response to receiving a user input selecting the icon, wherein the information is representative of the entity. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
