Vehicle communication system
TLDR
In this paper, a transceiver transmits and receives digital data for both text messages and voice messages, and a voice activated wireless electronic device with a keyboard and a screen is built into the dashboard.Abstract:
A vehicle has a dashboard, a windshield, a driver area with a steering wheel. A transceiver transmits and receives digital data for both text messages and voice messages. A voice activated wireless electronic device with a keyboard and a screen is built into the dashboard. A voice assembly includes a speaker and a microphone. A text assembly includes a display mounted in the dashboard. A joystick is adapted to allow a driver to manipulate data on both the screen of the electronic device and the display. A central processing unit operatively couples the transceiver, electronic device, speaker, microphone, and joystick.read more
