  • Publication number: 20240177546
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of initiating a vehicle event, retrieving a user profile associated with a user participating in the vehicle event, applying a vehicle status, based on the user profile, to the vehicle event, permitting access to a first set of vehicle features based on the vehicle status, collecting vehicle actions performed during the vehicle event for a period of time, and determining whether to increase or decrease a vehicle status based on the collected vehicle actions.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20240116370
    Abstract: To encourage users to improve their carbon footprint, a transport may be provided with an enhanced operating manner in response to external events that lower the carbon footprint of one or more occupants of the transport. Events, such as lowering the energy consumption of a person's home dwelling, may be communicated to the transport and trigger an enhanced mode in the transport, such as an enhanced driving mode (e.g. sport mode) or an enhanced charging mode.

  • Patent number: 11861950
    Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of sensing, by a server, an environmental performance of a transport and notifying, by the server, at least one device at a location apart from the transport to operate at a different setting than a current setting based on the sensing.

  • Publication number: 20220227228
    Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of displaying, by a transport, a representation of an external device proximate to the transport, receiving, by the transport, input via the representation, transmitting, by the transport, the input to the external device, and causing, by the transport, the external device to perform an action related to the input.

  • Patent number: 10919537
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of monitoring data when the data is associated with at least one detected behavior of a first user, quantifying the at least one detected behavior into a first value, sending the first value to a first server and a second server, comparing the first value to a first threshold at the first server, comparing the first value to a second threshold at the second server, determining whether to increment a first score at the first server and a second score at the second server, when the first value is greater than one or more of the first threshold and the second threshold, and determining whether to decrement the first score at the first server and the second score at the second server, when the first value is less than one or more of the first threshold and the second threshold.
