  • Patent number: 12158350
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer program product for directing a driver of an electric vehicle to a point of interest and a charging station in close proximity to the point of interest. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving from a user a requested activity of interest; (b) identifying one or more points of interest matching the requested activity of interest and that are within a pre-determined point of interest range from the electric vehicle; (c) identifying charging stations within a pre-determined station distance from each of the identified points of interest; and (d) presenting to the user the identified points of interest having an identified charging station within the pre-determined station distance. The computer program is configured to perform the aforementioned steps.

  • Publication number: 20240397279
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer program product for presenting information about a point of interest to a user of a vehicle. The method includes the steps of: (a) determining a current location of the vehicle; (b) identifying one or more points of interest located within a pre-determined range from the current location of the vehicle; (c) using an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) model, dynamically gathering and aggregating information about the identified points of interest; and (d) presenting to the user the information about the identified points of interest within the pre-determined range from the current location of the vehicle. The computer program is configured to perform the aforementioned steps.

  • Publication number: 20230316267
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer program for executing vehicle data sharing between vehicles. The method includes the steps of transmitting location data to a first network identifying a location of a first vehicle on a roadway; receiving data from the first network indicating that a second vehicle is within a predetermined proximity of the first vehicle; and transmitting data from the first vehicle to the second vehicle via a second network. The first network may be a cellular network, and the second network may be a Wi-Fi network. Also described is a method for executing a cryptocurrency transaction between the vehicles including the steps of receiving, and then comparing, respective vehicle performance related data from the first and second vehicles; and debiting a wallet of one of the two vehicles and crediting the wallet of the other vehicle of the vehicles as a function of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11396299
    Abstract: A method includes capturing video data from a camera over a period of time while capturing motion data from a detector and biometric data from another detector over that same period of time. Then, the method additionally includes selecting a subset of the video data captured during the period of time, based on a corresponding subset of the motion data and/or biometric data. The method then proscribes storing this selected subset of video data in memory.
