  • Patent number: 11230239
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to selection and execution of one or more output actions relating to a modification of at least one feature of a vehicle. A series of sensors on a vehicle can acquire data that can be used to identify vehicle environment characteristics indicative of a status of a vehicle environment and an emotional state of the user. The vehicle environment characteristics and the emotional state can be processed using a user model that corresponds to a user to generate one or more selected output actions. The output actions can be executed on the vehicle to increase user experience. The output actions can relate to any of entertainment features, safety features, and/or comfort features of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11186241
    Abstract: A processor associated with a vehicle receives sensor data from a plurality of sensors associated with a vehicle, where each sensor generates data corresponding to a different parameter of a passenger in the vehicle. Based on the sensor data, one or more primitive emotional indications are generated. The processor applies a model to the one or more primitive emotional indications that when applied outputs a contextualized emotional indication associated with the passenger that includes an assessment of an emotional state of the passenger and a reason for the emotional state. A contextual response is selected based on the contextualized emotional indication, and the processor causes an output by the vehicle to enact the contextual response.

  • Patent number: 10967873
    Abstract: A processor associated with a vehicle receives sensor data from a plurality of sensors in the vehicle. Each sensor is configured to measure a different parameter of a driver of the vehicle. The processor applies a model to the received sensor data, which when applied causes the processor to output a determination, based on the parameters of the driver, of attentiveness of the driver to driving the vehicle. Responsive to the determination indicating the driver is not attentive to driving the vehicle, the processor causes the vehicle to output an alert to the driver or to automatically control a driving function of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10960838
    Abstract: A sensor fusion system associated with a vehicle includes a sensor interface communicatively coupled to a plurality of sensors in the vehicle and a vehicle experience system. The sensor interface comprises an input receiving data from each of the plurality of sensors and an output configured to output fused vehicle data based on the data received from the plurality of sensors. The vehicle experience system is coupled to the output of the sensors interface to receive the fused vehicle data. The vehicle experience system includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to control at least one parameter of the vehicle based on the fused vehicle data.
