  • Patent number: 11816724
    Abstract: A system includes a content generation subsystem that features a playlist controller and multimedia service logic. The playlist controller is configured to generate a presentation playlist that controls retrieval and playback of audio clips along displayable images. The multimedia service logic, in response to receiving at least a vehicle identification number from the playlist controller, (i) automatically determines vehicle option codes associated with the vehicle, each vehicle option code identifies an option installed on the vehicle; (ii) automatically translate the vehicle option codes into information that is used in recovery of a plurality of text descriptions directed to features of the vehicle, and (iii) automatically determine the a plurality of audio clip links corresponding to the plurality of text descriptions that are used in the formation of the playlist. The second plurality of audio clip links is greater in number than the first plurality of audio clip links.

  • Patent number: 10134153
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is directed to a system that comprises one or more processors and a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. Herein, the memory including logic that, upon executing by the one or more processors and in response to receiving information that uniquely identifies a vehicle, automatically generating a plurality of images of the vehicle. A vehicle identification number (VIN) may be used as the information that uniquely identifies a vehicle and causes automatic generation of the interior and exterior images for that specific vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6513941
    Abstract: A lighting stage comprising a floor and a turntable located on the floor and operable to rotate about a substantially vertical axis. The turntable has an upper surface to support an object, such as a vehicle, with a ceiling juxtaposed with and spaced from the upper surface. The ceiling has a downwardly directed reflective surface that extends laterally beyond the turntable. A peripheral wall extends from the ceiling to encompass at least a portion of the turntable and has an upper reflective portion and a lower absorbent portion. The upper portion and the ceiling smoothly merge to provide a continuously curved cove to provide the transition between the ceiling and the peripheral wall. A lighting assembly projects light on to the ceiling so that the ceiling and upper portion reflect and diffuse light towards the upper surface of the turntable to illuminate the object that is on the turntable.
