  • Publication number: 20240152968
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying corresponding content for vehicle services using a distributed set of electronic devices are provided. For example, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data associated with a vehicle service instance. The vehicle service instance is associated with a request for a vehicle service for a user. The method includes determining, based on the data associated with the vehicle service instance, a first advertisement content item for a display device positioned on an exterior of a vehicle assigned to the vehicle service instance and a second advertisement content item for a user device associated with the vehicle service instance. The method includes communicating data that initiates the display of the first advertisement content item for the display device positioned on the exterior of the vehicle and data that initiates the display of the second advertisement content item for the user device.

  • Publication number: 20230306468
    Abstract: Systems and methods for advertisement-based vehicle matching and routing. For example, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data associated with a vehicle service request. The data associated with the vehicle service request is indicative of a pick-up location and a destination location associated with the vehicle service request. The method includes determining, from among a plurality of candidate vehicles, a selected vehicle for the vehicle service request based on the data indicative of the vehicle service request, candidate advertisement content items, and candidate routes for the plurality of candidate vehicles. The method includes communicating data that initiates display of a selected advertisement content item by a display device positioned on an exterior of the selected vehicle. The method includes communicating data indicative of route information to a computing device associated with the selected vehicle. The route information includes a selected route to the pick-up location.

  • Publication number: 20230306469
    Abstract: Systems and methods for advertisement-based vehicle matching a routing. For example, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data associated with a vehicle that is online with a service entity associated with providing vehicle services. The method includes obtaining data associated with a vehicle that is online with a service entity associated with providing one or more vehicle services. The method includes determining that the vehicle is not currently associated with a vehicle service instance for performing the vehicle services and determining a selected advertisement content item for the vehicle. The method includes determining a selected route for the vehicle based on the selected advertisement content item. The method includes communicating data that initiates display of the selected advertisement content item via a display device positioned on an exterior of the vehicle and data indicative of route information to a computing device associated with the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4023408
    Abstract: A storm mapping system detects electrical activity caused by weather phenomena such as lightning strokes and the like and displays information related to the electrical activity as indicative of storm location with reference to an origin which is taken as the observer's location. A cathode ray tube (or other display means) provides a display and locations thereon are illuminated in response to the electrical activity. The azimuth of the display is indicative of the azimuth of the electrical activity. The distance from the reference location to any illuminated location is a function of the signal strength. Although signal strength is not a precise indicator of distance, it is a useful data item in that the more severe storms generate the maximum signal strengths. In contrast to the prior art systems, the storm mapping system of this invention illuminates a location whose distance from the origin is inversely related to signal strength.
