Diversified Software Introduces Software to Offer Safety for Automotive Drivers Everywhere

    CORALVILLE, Iowa, Oct. 10 Diversified Software Industries,
Inc. of Coralville, Iowa has developed revolutionary software that will manage
information flow into the vehicle and provide safety solutions to the driver
without distraction.  IVIS (In-Vehicle Information System) will allow
automotive manufactures the ability to manage how information is viewed and
used in the car.
    The IVIS software has been in development for the last three years.  IVIS
software is similar to many cockpits of advanced aircraft by deploying the
workload away from the driver in an easy to use format by managing critical or
simple tasking.  The system is very flexible and allows all tasking to be done
on a central display or on multiple displays in an easy to use graphic format.
The driver can choose to have minimal information in front of him but in the
case of an emergency, IVIS alerts the driver and provides the critical
information to the driver.  For example, the driver could have only his
speedometer in front of him and in the event of tire-pressure loss the screen
would provide an indication of loss in tire pressure.  The IVIS system would
recognize this is a critical situation and prioritize the information
accordingly.
    The possibilities of the IVIS software are extensive, and content options
are left up to the auto manufacturer to be creative and offer safe solutions.
IVIS allows mobile devices such as Palm Pilots and cells phones to be easily
and effortlessly linked into the display.  The IVIS solution can also be
activated through voice, touch or mechanical recognition.
    Diversified Software Industries, Inc. has empowered the automotive
manufactures with offer safe "E" solutions into the vehicle and to create
products that will coincide safely with current and future legislation.  The
solution for "E" safety in the car is available today through DSI and IVIS!
    Diversified Software Industries, Inc. will be releasing the IVIS software
at Convergence 2000, Oct. 16-18th at the Cobo Hall in Detroit.  Come
experience the power of IVIS.  Schedule your opportunity to test it for
yourself in DSI's IVIS-equipped Technology Vehicle.
