  • Patent number: 11922463
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for displaying dynamic media content on a vehicle-mounted display as the vehicle travels along a route. The dynamic content may be audio or video content, and is selected based in part on sensor data, which may pertain to contextual or environmental factors. The content may be dynamically adjusted during playback, such as by bouncing or sharply changing direction during a sudden change in velocity or acceleration. Aside from motion-related factors, other contextual and environmental factors include weather, visibility, traffic, location, and time of day.

  • Patent number: 11689882
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to determining an estimated number of people at a geographic location who may be exposed to an outdoor display unit, such as mobile display unit, configured to display information in an outdoor environment. The determination may involve identifying, based on obtained data relating to unique mobile device users identified within a predetermined distance of the mobile display unit, a first number of people within the predetermined distance. The method may also involve correlating the first number of people with a previously determined total number of people within the predetermined distance of the mobile display unit at the geographic location and associated with a previously determined number of unique mobile device users within the predetermined distance of the mobile display unit at the geographic location, and determining, based on the correlating, an estimated total number of people within the predetermined distance of the mobile display unit.

  • Publication number: 20220180776
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to determining parameters of use for an outdoor display unit, such as a mobile display unit, including for example a geographic area for use, a time/day of use, and/or information to be displayed by the outdoor display unit. Parameters of use may be determined based on use characteristics, including results, associated with information displayed by an outdoor display unit in a first geographic area having characteristics determined to be similar to those of a second geographic area. For example, the geographic areas may share one or more similar spatio-temporal aspects with one another. Based on these spatio-temporal aspects, a day/time when characteristics of the second geographic area are similar to those of the first geographic area may be identified. Information displayed at the second area may be determined based on the use characteristics, and the determined information may be displayed at the identified day/time.
