  • Publication number: 20260138020
    Abstract: Interactive route-based media may be generated using generative artificial intelligence (AI) models so that electronic games can be played by passengers in a vehicle while the driver safely navigates to a destination. Audio may still be presented to the driver in certain instances, while video of the game can be presented on passenger vehicle displays integrated into the vehicle's side windows. Large language models and other generative AI models may therefore be used to create the game content itself, with the game content being generated based on various inputs to the system like a user's desired game genre, geographic features encountered along the driving route, and even the driving range of the vehicle according to a current fuel or charge level. Each AI-generated game can be tailored to the route the vehicle is going to take, presenting interactive game content that accounts for the unique characteristics of the trip.

  • Publication number: 20260141829
    Abstract: A vehicle window can include a transparent display assembly with active control elements. The transparent display assembly can be used by vehicle passengers to play video games under normalized backlight conditions that do not corrupt the game images. Thus, in one particular example, a computing device can receive input from first and second optical sensors that are disposed at different locations on the transparent display assembly. Based on the input, the computing device can then determine respective opaqueness parameters for first and second pixels of the transparent display assembly. The computing device can then control the first and second pixels according to the respective opaqueness parameters to normalize backlight in relation to one or more images presented on the transparent display assembly. The computing device can also account for user head pose and interior vehicle lighting if desired.

  • Publication number: 20260102708
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to limit/guardrail computer simulation content generation by a generative model (GM) by providing key frames of the simulation to the GM to interpolate between to thereby provide content guidelines (location, style, etc.) as well as duration of content to be generated by the GM.

  • Publication number: 20260073905
    Abstract: An algorithm is provided for enabling game developers to create speech from text. The algorithm enables tailoring pitch of intermediate representations of phonemes on a phoneme-by-phoneme basis from the pitch output by a text-to-speech model.

  • Publication number: 20060155977
    Abstract: Information handling system boot with an operating system initiated by a BIOS maintains consistency of storage device numbering order between the BIOS and the operating system by branding BIOS storage device configuration information on the storage devices for subsequent use by the operating system. A branding module in a Linux operating system retrieves BIOS hard disc drive configuration information from the BIOS during real mode of the boot which allows operating system access to the BIOS, and stores the hard disc drive information on its associated hard disc drive. A branding retrieval module in the Linux operating system retrieves the configuration information from each respective hard disc drive during a protected mode of the boot which does not allow operating system access to the BIOS, and applies the configuration information to the operating system for consistency with the BIOS.
