  • Patent number: 11631283
    Abstract: A system for providing vehicle information to a mobile device includes a network access device to receive a request including image data corresponding to a portion of a vehicle. The system further includes a memory to store content related to vehicles. The system further includes a processor designed to identify a model of the vehicle based on the request for the vehicle information and to identify the portion of the vehicle based on the request for the vehicle information. The processor is further designed to determine a type of information requested based on the request for the vehicle information and to identify applicable content from the memory based on the identified model of the vehicle, the identified portion of the vehicle, and the identified type of information requested. The processor is further designed to control the network access device to transmit the applicable content to the remote device.

  • Publication number: 20210064393
    Abstract: The progression of technology in vehicles has enhanced the driver's as well as passenger's experience. A sizable portion of the progression is the evolution of the human-machine interface. Nowadays, incorporating several user interfaces within a single vehicle is the standard. Accordingly, improving an occupant's interaction with these user interfaces is fundamental to cultivating the optimum occupant experience. The presently disclosed technology fulfills this objective by creating customized user interfaces for a vehicle. Each customized user interface is formed through the fusion of data from sensors within and around the vehicle tracking the occupant as well as vehicle interactions with each other and the environment. The wealth of information obtained simultaneous advances each individual occupant's experience by modifying associated user interfaces in accordance with the occupant's identified wants and needs.

  • Publication number: 20210065111
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to tracking a user, updating a destination for the user and delivering an item to the updated destination using a Mobility-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) system. In one embodiment, a method includes associating the item with the user. The method includes determining a destination of the user, determining a delivery route for the item based at least on the destination and initiating delivery of the item based on the determined delivery route. The method further includes tracking movements of the user, receiving user movement data based on at least the tracked movements of the user, and determining whether the destination has changed based on the user movement data. If the destination has changed, updating the destination based on the user movement data, determining a revised delivery route for the item based on the updated destination, and rerouting the item based on the revised delivery route.

  • Publication number: 20210018587
    Abstract: A Mobility-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) system and related method for locating at least one MaaS asset includes one or more processors and a memory device in communication with the one or more processors. The memory device stores information receiving module, a location module, and a map generating module. The map generating module includes instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive information from at least one secondary asset having an electronic sensing device. The location module includes instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine a location of the MaaS asset based on the information from the secondary asset.
