Title: A vehicle having a system and method of scheduling driver interface tasks
Inventor: FILEV DIMITAR PETROV
IPC: B60W50/08
Filed: 2010-07-29
Abstract: A vehicle's dynamic handling state, driver inputs to the vehicle, etc. may be examined to determine one or more measures of driver workload. Driver interface tasks may then be delayed and/or prevented from executing based on the driver workload so as to not increase the driver workload. Alternatively, driver interface tasks may be schedule for execution based on the driver workload and caused to execute according to the schedule, for example, to minimize the impact the executing driver interface tasks have on driver workload. For example, driver interface tasks may include forwarding in-coming calls to voice mail and/or generating an audio output and/or generating a visual output and/or generating a tactile output. Some of the interface tasks are delayed or prevented from being executed based on a headway between the vehicle and another vehicle or object and driver type and or vehicle speed.

Title: Method and device for encoding headers of a message using reference header sets
Inventor: BELLESSORT ROMAIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-07-05
Abstract: The definition of a reference set of headers to be used for encoding a set of headers is proposed to enable the encoder to dynamically define the reference set of headers to be used. This reference set is defined 320 as a region in the header table and that may be defined dynamically. Accordingly, flexibility is offered in defining the reference set for encoding a set of headers by a method which improves the compression while minimizing the overhead, especially regarding memory size. Additionally once a reference set has been defined by identifying a region of the header table to use 340 the differences between a set of headers to encode/decode and those in the reference set 330 may also be indicated 350. The arrangement may be used for the compression and decompression of headers in SPDY or HTTP 2.0 protocols.
