Abstract

Embodiments are directed towards a system and method of anonymizing vehicle location data by using a centralized location of entities near the vehicle instead of the actual vehicle location. One or more entities are selected within a threshold radius around the vehicle. The centralized location is determined based on publicly available entity location information for the selected entities. The centralized location is stored or transmitted to third parties as the vehicle's location. A characteristic of the vehicle or a time range associated with capturing the actual vehicle location may be associated with the centralized location without including an identifier of the vehicle.

Abstract

Embodiments are directed towards a system and method of employing a bridge service to coordinate messages from a keep-alive connection between a head unit of a vehicle and a connection broker with microservices via unary connections. The bridge service stores configuration information that maps topic connection information for the keep-alive connection with microservice connection information. The bridge service subscribes with the connection broker to topics associated with the microservices based on the configuration information. A message that is published to the keep-alive connection having a published topic that corresponds to a subscribed topic is received from the connection broker. The microservice connection information that maps to the published topic is selected based on the configuration information. The bridge service establishes a unary connection with a microservice based on the selected microservice connection information, which is utilized to provide message payload information from the bridge service to the microservice.

Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention discloses a process of providing a report predicting potential risks relating to an operator driving a vehicle using information obtained from various interior and exterior sensors, vehicle onboard computer (“VOC”), and cloud network. After activating interior and exterior sensors mounted on a vehicle operated by a driver for obtaining data relating to external surroundings and internal environment, the data is forwarded to VOC for generating a current fingerprint associated with the driver. The current fingerprint represents current driving status in accordance with the collected real-time data. Upon uploading the current fingerprint to the cloud via a communications network, a historical fingerprint which represents historical driving information associated with the driver is retrieved. In one aspect, the process is capable of generating a driving analysis report which predicts potential risks associated with the driver according to the current and historical fingerprints.

Abstract

A method and system for enabling use of a reusable-code section across applications of different operating systems. For a first application designed for a first operating system (“OS”), a first native-code section and a reusable-code section are defined as part of the first application. For a second application designed for a second OS, a second native-code section and the reusable-code section are defined as part of the second application, and the second application is incapable of running on the first OS. The first and second native-code sections communicate with a web-services server, which communicates with a plurality of backend-services servers, at least some of which are controlled by different entities. The web-services server coordinates the execution of service requests with the backend-services servers on behalf of the first and second applications. The reusable-code section facilitates the display of user-interface elements when the first and second applications are executed.

Abstract

A method or system is capable of detecting operator behavior (“OB”) utilizing a virtuous cycle containing sensors, machine learning center (“MLC”), and cloud based network (“CBN”). In one aspect, the process monitors operator body language captured by interior sensors and captures surrounding information observed by exterior sensors onboard a vehicle as the vehicle is in motion. After selectively recording the captured data in accordance with an OB model generated by MLC, an abnormal OB (“AOB”) is detected in accordance with vehicular status signals received by the OB model. Upon rewinding recorded operator body language and the surrounding information leading up to detection of AOB, labeled data associated with AOB is generated. The labeled data is subsequently uploaded to CBN for facilitating OB model training at MLC via a virtuous cycle.

Abstract

Embodiments are directed towards establishing a network connection between a mobile device and an automobile head unit. A user of the mobile device interacts with a user interface on the mobile device to establish the connection with the head unit. If authorized, the head unit disconnects a currently connected device if the connection is to be via classic Bluetooth protocols. If the head unit has reached a maximum number of registered mobile devices, then the head unit sends a request to the mobile device for a selection of which currently registered mobile devices are to be unregistered. The head unit registers the mobile device with the head unit and establishes the connection between the mobile device and the head unit via classic Bluetooth protocols or Bluetooth Low Energy protocols depending on the type of connection request.

Abstract

A presentation system is described herein. The system can include a room for playing a scene and can be made up of a collection of displays. The system can also include media players to manage the playing of content on a corresponding display of the collection of displays. The system can also include a server to distribute objects to the media players. The scene can include the objects, which may be selectively played on the displays when the scene is played on the room. The media players can receive the objects and can determine whether the objects are intended to be played on the corresponding displays as part of the scene to be played. If so, the objects can be rendered on the corresponding displays on which the objects are intended to be played, which can bypass the rendering of the scene as a whole by the system.

One embodiment of the present invention is able to provide an interactive parking management (“IPM”) in accordance with information obtained from interior and exterior sensors, vehicle onboard computer (“VOC”), and cloud data. The process, in one embodiment, is capable of acknowledging a parking activity initiated by a vehicle traveling in a geographic location via a communications network. Upon providing parking information to the vehicle based on the data obtained from the current parking status, historical parking status, and big data for facilitating the parking activity, the movement of the vehicle is monitored in accordance with the current parking status. After recording a physical location where the vehicle is parked and parking duration, a parking invoice is generated in response to information relating to the recorded information such as physical location and parking duration.

Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention predicts a vehicular event relating to machinal performance using information obtained from interior and exterior sensors, vehicle onboard computer ("VOC"), and cloud data. The process of predication is able to activate interior and exterior sensors mounted on a vehicle operated by a driver for obtaining current data relating to external surroundings, interior settings, and internal mechanical conditions of the vehicle. After forwarding the current data to VOC to generate a current vehicle status representing real-time vehicle performance in accordance with the current data, retrieving a historical data associated with the vehicle including mechanical condition is retrieved. In one aspect, a normal condition signal is issued when the current vehicle status does not satisfy with the optimal condition based on the historical data. Alternatively, a race car condition is issued when the current vehicle status meets with the optimal condition.

Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention discloses a process of providing a report predicting potential risks relating to an operator driving a vehicle using information obtained from various interior and exterior sensors, vehicle onboard computer (“VOC”), and cloud network. After activating interior and exterior sensors mounted on a vehicle operated by a driver for obtaining data relating to external surroundings and internal environment, the data is forwarded to VOC for generating a current fingerprint associated with the driver. The current fingerprint represents current driving status in accordance with the collected real-time data. Upon uploading the current fingerprint to the cloud via a communications network, a historical fingerprint which represents historical driving information associated with the driver is retrieved. In one aspect, the process is capable of generating a driving analysis report which predicts potential risks associated with the driver according to the current and historical fingerprints.

Abstract

Embodiments are directed towards a smart sign that provides dynamic content auctions based on device-specific information obtained from mobile devices in proximity of the smart sign. Device-information requirements and content are received from content providers. The device-information requirements include target device-specific information and a price that the content provider is willing to pay to have its content displayed when the target device-specific information is received from a mobile device. Device-specific information is received from each mobile device in the proximity of the smart sign. The auction for the smart sign is performed by comparing the device-specific information to the device-information requirements for the content providers. Third-party content, e.g., advertisement, is selected for the content provider that paid a highest amount of money for the device-information requirements that match the device-specific information. User-specific content is generated and displayed on the smart sign based on the selected third-party content.

Abstract

A method or system capable of managing automobile parking space ("APS") using containerized sensors, machine learning center, and cloud based network is disclosed. A process, in one aspect, monitors the surrounding information observed by a set of onboard sensors of a vehicle as the vehicle is in motion. After selectively recording the surrounding information in accordance with instructions from a containerized APS model which is received from a machine learning center, an APS and APS surrounding information are detected when the vehicle is in a parked condition. Upon rewinding recorded surrounding information leading up to the detection of APS, labeled data associated with APS is generated based on APS and the recorded surrounding information. The process subsequently uploads the labeled data to the cloud based network for facilitating APS model training at the machine learning center via a virtuous cycle.

Abstract

A method or system is capable of detecting operator behavior ("OB") utilizing a virtuous cycle containing sensors, machine learning center ("MLC"), and cloud based network ("CBN"). In one aspect, the process monitors operator body language captured by interior sensors and captures surrounding information observed by exterior sensors onboard a vehicle as the vehicle is in motion. After selectively recording the captured data in accordance with an OB model generated by MLC, an abnormal OB ("AOB") is detected in accordance with vehicular status signals received by the OB model. Upon rewinding recorded operator body language and the surrounding information leading up to detection of AOB, labeled data associated with AOB is generated. The labeled data is subsequently uploaded to CBN for facilitating OB model training at MLC via a virtuous cycle.
