The present application relates to a communication system for controlling the output of messages to a vehicle occupant. The communication system has a processor configured to output a first message to the vehicle occupant. A signal is received from one or more sensors operative to monitor the vehicle occupant when the first message is output. The signal from said one or more sensors is analysed to determine one or more parameters relating to the response of the vehicle occupant to said first message. The communication system controls the subsequent output of at least said first message in dependence on said one or more determined parameters. The present application also relates to a method and to a vehicle.

Dynamic output notification management for vehicle occupant

A method and apparatusfor interacting remotely with a vehiclecomprising data transfer meansfor wirelessly communicating messages between a mobile communications deviceoperable by a user and a vehicle databuslocated within the vehicle. Optionally, the data transfer meansis arranged to wirelessly communicate with the mobile communications devicevia a web server, a web portal or other internet-connected host system. The data transfer meansmay be arranged to wirelessly communicate with the web portal via a GSM or other cellular communications network. After the vehicle engine has stopped, communication of messages may continue on an intermittent basis, or may be suspended after a predetermined time has elapsed or when the vehicle battery voltage reaches a predetermined threshold. High priority messages may be communicated at any time after the vehicle engine has stopped.
