  • Patent number: 11928310
    Abstract: Vehicle methods disclosed herein include displaying, on one or more user interfaces of a vehicle display, a visual summary of a defined trip route. The visual summary may include a start indicator, and end indicator, a transition indicator (indicating a road switch), a road type indicator, a municipality indicator, time indicators (indicating times to transition points and municipalities), and fuel/charge indicators indicating refueling/recharging locations, among other details. Travelers may use the one or more user interfaces to determine desired stopping locations, desired route, goods and services provided at different stops along the way, and other items. Other vehicle methods disclosed herein include preparing a music playlist curated for a specific trip and taking into account various user-specific factors, and changing the playlist in response to changes in trip conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230186878
    Abstract: Vehicle machine learning methods include providing one or more computer processors communicatively coupled with a vehicle. Using data gathered from biometric sensors and/or vehicle sensors, a machine learning model is trained to determine a mental state of a driver and/or a driving state corresponding with a portion of a trip. In implementations the mental or driving state may be determined without a machine learning model. Based at least in part on the determined mental state and the determined driving state, one or more interventions are automatically initiated to alter the mental state of the driver. The interventions may include preparing (or modifying) and initiating a music playlist, altering a lighting condition within the vehicle, altering an audio condition within the vehicle, altering a temperature condition within the vehicle, and initiating, altering, or withholding conversation from a conversational agent. Vehicle machine learning systems perform the vehicle machine learning methods.

  • Patent number: 11580941
    Abstract: Music compilation methods disclosed herein include providing a database. Data is stored therein associating a user with access credentials for a plurality of music streaming services. A first server is communicatively coupled with the database and with multiple third party servers each of which includes a music library associated with the user. A list is stored in the database listing audio tracks of the libraries. A play selector is displayed on a user interface of a computing device communicatively coupled with the first server. User selection of the play selector initiates playback of a sample set, the sample set including portions of audio tracks in the list. The sample set is determined based on contextual information gathered by the computing device, the contextual information not including any user selection. Music compilation systems disclosed herein include systems configured to carry out the music compilation methods.
