A method of providing feedback to a driver of a hybrid or electric vehicle having an energy regeneration mode of operation is provided. The method comprises determining a distance saved value in dependence on an amount of energy recovered during the trip cycle by operation of the vehicle in the regeneration mode. The distance saved value represents the distance which could have been travelled using the recovered energy. The method further comprises displaying the determined distance saved value on a display () of the vehicle ().

Method and system for providing feedback to a driver of a hybrid or electric vehicle

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

The present invention relates to a method of evaluating at least one operating parameter of a motor vehicle. A system variable relating to an operating parameter of the vehicle is measured. A look-up map (A; S; B) associated with the operating parameter is accessed. The look-up map (A; S; B) comprises of one or more sets of threshold values (R, R, R, R, R) and a comparison is made between the measured system variable and the threshold values (R, R, R, R, R). An economy rating (E, E, E, E, E) is obtained from the look-up map and an indicator output based on the economy rating (E, E, E, E, E) to provide the driver with feedback. The present invention also relates to a device for providing driver feedback.

Method and device for providing driver feedback

Display panel or portion thereof with an icon

A computing device having a display portion for displaying information and a user input portion for receiving an input from a user. The device is operable to display a first set of user-selectable function elements in a first format and is responsive to an input from a user corresponding to a user-selected portion of the display portion to display a second set of function elements that include one or more function elements of the first set of user-selectable function elements that are associated with the selected portion of the display portion in a second format different from the first format. The device is operable to allow a function element displayed in the second format to be selected by the user thereby to execute a function associated with the element.
