  • Patent number: 10453084
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a number of vehicle occupants based at least in part on sensor data gathered by one or more in-vehicle sensors are disclosed. The number of vehicle occupants may be determined, at least in part, by an in-vehicle system associated with the vehicle. Vehicle occupancy information indicative of the number of vehicle occupants may be transmitted to facilitate identification of one or more incentives based at least in part on the vehicle occupancy information. The incentive(s) may include a reduction in a fee associated with operation of the vehicle such as a discounted toll amount, an elimination of a fee, an incentive payment, a discount associated with a product or service offering, and so forth. A tolling system ma be provided for receiving the vehicle occupancy information and determining a toll amount based at least in part on the received information.

  • Patent number: 10032277
    Abstract: Technologies for displaying graphical elements on a graphical user interface include a wearable computing device to generate a captured image. The wearable computing device analyzes the captured image to generate image location metric data for one or more prospective locations on the graphical user interface at which to place a graphical element. The image location metric data indicates one or more image characteristics of the corresponding prospective location. The wearable computing device determines appropriateness data for each prospective location based on the corresponding image location metric data. The appropriate data indicates a relative suitability of the corresponding location for display of the graphical element. The wearable computing device selects one of the prospective locations based on the appropriateness data and displays the graphical element on the graphical user interface at the selected prospective location.
