Abstract

Included is a system for providing data to a user. The system can include detection logic configured to receive data related to an environment. Some embodiments can also include location logic configured to receive data related to the user'"'"'s location and execution logic configured to correlate at least a portion of the data received from the detection logic and at least a portion of the data related to the user'"'"'s location. Additionally some embodiments can include display logic configured to provide at least one cue that is related to the environment.

Claims

1. A system for providing data to a user, comprising:

detection logic configured to receive data related to an environment;

location logic configured to receive data related to the user'"'"'s location;

execution logic configured to correlate at least a portion of the data received from the detection logic and at least a portion of the data related to the user'"'"'s location; and

display logic configured to provide at least one cue related to the environment.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a windshield display generator configured to display the at least one visual cue to the user.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising communications logic configured to communicate at least a portion of the data received by the detection logic to a communications network.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising communications logic configured to communicate at least a portion of the data received by the location logic to a communications network.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising storage logic configured to store at least a portion of the data received from at least one of the following:

the location logic and the detection logic.

6. The system of claim 5, further comprising compare logic configured to compare at least a portion of the data stored by the storage logic with at least a portion of the data received from at least one of the following:

the location logic and the detection logic.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one detection device configured to receive data related to the environment, wherein the at least one detection device is configured to recognize at least one of the following:

a street name, a house number, a pedestrian, a road obstacle, a fire hydrant, a driveway, and a side street.

8. A method for providing data to a user, comprising:

receiving data related to an environment;

receiving data related to the user'"'"'s location;

correlating at least a portion of the data received from the detection logic and at least a portion of the data related to the user'"'"'s location; and

providing at least one cue related to the environment.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying the at least one visual cue to the user.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising communicating at least a portion of the data received by the detection logic to a communications network.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising communicating at least a portion of the data received by the location logic to a communications network.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising storing at least a portion of the data received from at least one of the following:

the location logic and the detection logic.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising comparing at least a portion of the data stored by the storage logic with at least a portion of the data received from at least one of the following:

the location logic and the detection logic.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein receiving data related to an environment comprises recognizing at least one of the following:

a street name, a house number, a pedestrian, a road obstacle, a fire hydrant, a driveway, and a side street.

15. A computer readable medium for providing data to a user, comprising:

logic configured to receive data related to an environment;

logic configured to receive data related to the user'"'"'s location;

logic configured to correlate at least a portion of the data received from the detection logic and at least a portion of the data related to the user'"'"'s location; and

logic configured to provide at least one cue related to the environment.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising logic configured to display the at least one visual cue to the user.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising logic configured to communicate at least a portion of the data received by the detection logic to a communications network.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising logic configured to communicate at least a portion of the data received by the location logic to a communications network.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising logic configured to store at least a portion of the data received from at least one of the following:

the location logic and the detection logic.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, further comprising logic configured to compare at least a portion of the data stored by the storage logic with at least a portion of the data received from at least one of the following:

the location logic and the detection logic.
