  • Publication number: 20250078529
    Abstract: A content distribution system enables a user to provide content to be reproduced under a predetermined reproduction condition to a passenger in a drive environment in which the passenger who gets on a vehicle and moves and the user who is not on the vehicle virtually ride together. When a virtual drive environment is provided by sharing an image and audio captured in a vehicle between the vehicle and a user terminal operated by the user who is not on the vehicle, the user terminal is operated to edit and generate content together with reproduction conditions, and transmit the edited content to the vehicle. In the vehicle, the content is reproduced when the reproduction condition is satisfied. The present disclosure can be applied to a content distribution system.

  • Publication number: 20230316320
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to tracking of user behavioral data in various environments where a user performs various activities. In some implementations, a method includes tracking, using capture devices, user behavior of a user, wherein the capture devices capture the user behavior performed by the user in environments associated with the user. The method further includes identifying target behaviors from the user behavior. The method further includes computing behavior scores for each target behavior of the target behaviors based on predetermined scoring criteria. The method further includes converting the behavior scores into behavior credits based on predetermined credit criteria. The method further includes displaying a summary of the user behavior to the user, wherein the summary comprises information associated with the target behaviors, the behavior scores, and the behavior credits enabling the user to redeem the behavior credits.
