The present disclosure involves mobile computing devices that communicate with vehicles, through vehicle based communication systems. Various embodiments are disclosed herein which help determine whether the mobile computing device and/or the vehicle have reached a destination location. Further, upon determining that the mobile computing device and/or the vehicle have reached a destination location, various actions may be performed such as determining and/or storing the time of arrival, determining and/or storing the date of arrival, and/or determining and/or storing the location of arrival.

Techniques for tracking destinations on a mobile computing device

Various embodiments of systems and techniques for tracking destinations on a mobile computing device are described. In one or more embodiments, the mobile computing device may comprise or implement hardware and/or software configured to determine arrival at a destination and what is situated at the destination.

Illustrated is a system and method to use a photometer to receive a light vector, the photometer to determine intensity of the light vector. The system and method also uses a processor to determine a location of a light source that generates the tight vector. Additionally, the system and method uses a touch-sensitive screen to display an icon pixel shaded based upon the intensity of the light vector and the location of the light source.

Icon shading based upon light intensity and location

A mobile computing device includes a processor, a transceiver coupled to the processor, and a display device coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to display a plurality of first names representing a plurality of electronic devices on the display device, each first name associated with one of the electronic devices, each of the electronic devices being capable of communicating with the mobile computing device. The processor is further configured to receive a selection of one of the first names, and display a second name in response to the selection of the selected first name, the second name being associated with the first name.

System and method for identifying devices in a wireless network

A device is enabled to establish a secure and persistent pairing with one another across a communication medium, using credential information that is exchanged out-of-band.

System and method for linking and sharing resources amongst devices

A device including a sensor to detect information around the device, an audio component to output an audible alert if an emergency event is detected, a display device to render emergency data from the device, and a controller to use the information to identify an emergency event of a user and select the emergency data from the device based on the emergency event, wherein the emergency data is associated with the user.

Sensor to detect an emergency event

Systems and techniques for tracking destinations on a mobile computing device are described. A mobile computing device may comprise or implement hardware or software configured to determine arrival at a destination and what is situated at the destination. A vehicle based communication device may communicate with the mobile computing device by way of a short range wireless communication system. The mobile computing device or the vehicle based communication device may establish a location-based service (LBS) communications session and store a description of a location associated with the destination when the mobile computing device and the vehicle based communication device reach the destination.

Techniques to manage vehicle communications are described. A mobile computing device may include a communication module operative to establish a first communication channel with a message server, and a second communication channel with a vehicle system, a message application module communicatively coupled to the communication module, the message application module operative to receive a user message over the first communication channel, and send an event message over the second communication channel, and a vehicle message application module communicatively coupled to the message application module, the vehicle message application module operative to receive a read control directive over the second communication channel, convert text information from the user message to mail audio information, and send the mail audio information over the second communication channel. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
