  • Publication number: 20230090499
    Abstract: Interactive content can be managed and provided to occupants of an automated vehicle to enhance their experience while in the vehicle. Orchestrator component can determine interactive content based on conditions associated with the vehicle, user preferences, video content, or other information. Interactive content can comprise video content, audio content, and control content. Video content can comprise augmented reality or virtual reality content. Control content can be used to control vehicle operation in relation to or synchronization with presentation of video content. Orchestrator component can correlate between certain roads on which the vehicle can travel and entertainment presentations presented to a vehicle occupant. Orchestrator component can control vehicle operation to have the vehicle recreate a vehicle action sequence (VAS) in a video program being presented to the occupant in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11611847
    Abstract: Systems may provide feedback that may include antenna selection or mobile device configuration. Antennas may be automatically configured throughout the device or the orientation or location of the mobile device may be altered to increase performance. Historical performance information of the mobile device may be maintained in order to determine proactive manipulations of the mobile device. In addition, multiple mobile devices may cooperatively determine the orientation or location that may increase performance.

  • Publication number: 20210365514
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising receiving, by a processing system including a processor, a product description; determining product attributes; obtaining end user information including behavior history and language history; and modifying the product description based on the end user information. The modifying includes identifying text regarding selected attributes of the product, based on natural language processing (NLP) of the text description and the language history of the end user; and adding the identified text to the text description. The method also includes presenting the modified product description at the equipment of the end user; determining an end user behavior responsive to the presenting; and updating the end user information in accordance with the end user behavior. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210334535
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a first image, the first image comprising a depiction of a first product of a first potential advertiser; analyzing the first image to determine a first spatial placement of the first product, the first spatial placement being relative to another object in the first image; receiving, from user equipment, a user image that shows a depiction of a user environment; analyzing the user image, the analyzing resulting in a plurality of identified objects; determining whether the another object corresponds to a corresponding one of the plurality of identified objects; responsive to a determination that the another object corresponds to the corresponding one of the plurality of identified objects, generating information that places the depiction of the first product in the depiction of the user environment; and responsive to the generating, transmitting the information to the user equipment. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11137257
    Abstract: A method and system for providing improved navigation through interactive suggestion of improve solutions along a path of waypoints includes receiving in a user device a destination for a user. Data associated with the destination is transmitted to a network as well as information correlated to a location of the user. Data associated with at least one modified waypoint for an improved navigation solution is received from the network. The modified waypoints are determined in accordance with a set of parameters. Task and notification information are received from the network.

  • Patent number: 11070950
    Abstract: The space characterization system may obtain readings from devices with electromagnetic (EM) field radios. Based on the readings, static and moving objects may be detected. The space characterization system may allow EM-based sensing of objects and room configuration, which may be based on collaboration of devices with EM radios across different EM spectra. The EM-based sensing of objects and room configuration may be used by vehicles for navigation.
