Dynamic presentation of vehicular-reference information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing, at a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a database, wherein the database includes a plurality of presentation preferences for displaying vehicular reference information on remote displays, each presentation preference representing a unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers, each display window identifier pertaining to a particular type of vehicular reference information stored within the database;
receiving, by at least one processor coupled to the computer-readable medium, (i) a vehicle parameter indicating at least a year, make, and model of a vehicle-under-evaluation, and (ii) data from a first remote display indicating selection of a first presentation preference;
selecting, by the at least one processor from the database, vehicular reference information for populating, at the first remote display, respective display windows associated with each display window identifier of the unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers represented by the first presentation preference, wherein the selected vehicular reference information pertains to vehicles of a particular year, make, and model matching the year, make, and model of the vehicle-under-evaluation indicated by the vehicle parameter;
selecting, by the at least one processor, a first display window associated with a first portion of the selected vehicular reference information and/or the first presentation preference; and
communicating, over a communication network to the first remote display by a communication interface coupled to the at least one processor, the selected vehicular reference information for displaying the first portion of the selected vehicular reference information in the selected first display window on the first remote display before displaying any other portion of the selected vehicular reference information in another display window associated with a display window identifier of the unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers represented by the first presentation preference.

Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for dynamically presenting desired vehicular-reference information for a motor vehicle under evaluation is provided. In one aspect, an example method includes: (a) a computing system receiving, via a user interface, (i) vehicular-reference data indicating at least one vehicle parameter, and (ii) first information-presentation data indicating at least one information-presentation preference; (b) the computing system selecting at least one first piece of vehicular-reference information based on at least one of the received vehicular-reference data and the received first information-presentation data; (c) the computing system selecting a presentation window based on at least one of the received vehicular-reference data and the received first information-presentation data; and (d) the computing system causing a visual depiction of (i) the selected vehicular-reference information and (ii) the selected presentation window to be displayed on a graphical display.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing:
-
a database, wherein the database includes a plurality of presentation preferences for displaying vehicular reference information on remote displays, each presentation preference representing a unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers, each display window identifier pertaining to a particular type of vehicular reference information stored within the database; and program instructions that when executed by at least one processor coupled to the computer-readable medium cause the following functions to be performed; receiving, by the at least one processor, (i) a vehicle parameter indicating at least a year, make, and model of a vehicle-under-evaluation, and (ii) data indicating selection of a first presentation preference; selecting, by the at least one processor from the database, vehicular reference information for populating, at a first remote display, respective display windows associated with each display window identifier of the unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers represented by the first presentation preference, wherein the selected vehicular reference information pertains to vehicles of a particular year, make, and model matching the year, make, and model of the vehicle-under-evaluation indicated by the vehicle parameter; selecting, by the at least one processor, a first display window associated with a first portion of the selected vehicular reference information and/or the first presentation preference; and communicating, over a communication network to the first remote display by a communication interface coupled to the at least one processor, the selected vehicular reference information for displaying the first portion of the selected vehicular reference information in the selected first display window on the first remote display before displaying any other portion of the selected vehicular reference information in another display window associated with a display window identifier of the unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers represented by the first presentation preference. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computing system comprising:
-
a processor; a user interface connected to the processor; a graphical display connected to the processor; a communication interface connected to the processor; and non-transitory data storage comprising program instructions executable by the processor for causing the computing system to carry out functions including; displaying, by the graphical display, a plurality of presentation preferences for displaying vehicular reference information, each presentation preference representing a unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers, each display window identifier pertaining to a particular type of vehicular reference information stored within a database; receiving, by the processor, a vehicle parameter indicating at least a year, make, and model of a vehicle-under-evaluation; receiving, by the processor via the user interface, data indicating selection of a first presentation preference; transmitting, by the communication interface over a network, the vehicle parameter and the data indicating selection of the first presentation preference; receiving, by the communication interface over the network, vehicular reference information for populating, at the graphical display, respective display windows associated with each display window identifier of the unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers represented by the first presentation preference, wherein the selected vehicular reference information pertains to vehicles of a particular year, make, and model matching the year, make, and model of the vehicle-under-evaluation indicated by the vehicle parameter, and wherein a first display window is associated with both a first portion of the selected vehicular reference information and the first presentation preference; and displaying, at the graphical display, the first portion of the selected vehicular reference information in the selected first display window before displaying any other portion of the selected vehicular reference information in another display window associated with a display window identifier of the unique group of multiple associated display window identifiers represented by the first presentation preference. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
