Methods and systems for providing vehicle information
First Claim
1. A system for providing vehicle information to an operator of a vehicle having a plurality of components, the system comprising:
- an onboard database configured to store vehicle-specific data and behavior-specific data;
an operator interface;
an onboard processor coupled to said onboard database, said plurality of components, and said operator interface, said onboard processor configured to;
(a) provide requested vehicle-specific data to the operator in response to an operator request via said operator interface,(b) store operator-behavioral data received from said plurality of components,(c) recognize patterns of operation from said stored operator-behavioral data, and(d) selectively provide at least one message retrieved from said behavior-specific data to the operator in response to said patterns.

Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment a system provides vehicle information to an operator of a vehicle having a plurality of components. The system comprises an onboard database configured to store vehicle-specific data and behavior-specific data and an operator interface. The system includes an onboard processor coupled to the onboard database, the plurality of components, and the operator interface. The onboard processor is configured to provide requested vehicle-specific data to the operator in response to an operator request via the operator interface. The onboard processor is also configured to receive operator-behavioral data from the plurality of components, recognize patterns of operation from the operator-behavioral data, and provide the behavior-specific data to the operator in response to the recognized patterns in the operator-behavioral data.
