A server and a method for real-time targeting of advertisements across multiple platforms is provided. The server receives first information that indicates a presence of a first person in a first vehicle at a first time period. The server determines content metadata associated with media content rendered via an infotainment device of the first vehicle. The server transmits first advertisement content to the infotainment device. The server receives second information that indicates an absence of the first person from the first vehicle at a second time period. The server further determines a first application used by the first person on an electronic device within a time threshold from the second time period. The server further transmits second advertisement content, to be rendered on the determined first application, to the first electronic device. The second advertisement content may be associated with the first advertisement content.

Systems and techniques are provided for monitoring an occupant located in an interior of a vehicle. The techniques include the detection an occupant in at least one image. Body points of the occupant are identified based on the at least one image, and a pose of the occupant is classified based on the detected body points. A recommendation for adapting the occupant's pose is provided based on the classified pose.

The invention relates to an energy management system for a motor vehicle, comprising a monitoring device adapted to monitor a position and/or a movement of a driver inside the motor vehicle, a driver's intention determination device adapted to determine the intention of the driver to use predetermined energy consuming devices of the motor vehicle based on the monitored position and/or movement of the driver, and an activating/deactivating device adapted to activate, and respectively deactivate, specific energy consuming devices among the predetermined energy consuming devices of the motor vehicle based on the determined driver's intention.

A vehicle is configured to image, with an outside camera, an identification mark associated with a content provided by a service provider, output the content associated with the imaged identification mark to an occupant in a cabin of the vehicle, acquire operation information on the occupant relating to the output content, and acquire information regarding the occupant when the occupant performs operation relating to the content in the vehicle cabin. An information processing apparatus is configured to, when determining that the output content is not selected by the occupant based on the operation information on the occupant, determine whether or not to update the content that is not selected, based on the information regarding the occupant.

A noise cancellation system for cancelling sounds within a vehicle. The noise cancellation system includes microphones, a camera, a controller, and speakers. The microphones are disposed adjacent to occupant locations, and configured to generate microphone signals representative of noise sounds and cancellation audio sounds. The camera is configured to generate a video signal that captures head configurations of the occupants. The controller is configured to receive rotor control signals, calculate hearing locations based on tracking data of the head configurations of the occupants, and generate a speaker signals based on the hearing locations, the microphone signals, and the rotor control signals. The speakers are configured to generate the cancellation audio sounds. The cancellation audio sounds attenuate the noise sounds.

Disclosed is an electronic device which includes at least one camera module, at least one microphone, a communication module, a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the at least one camera module, the at least one microphone, the communication module, or the memory, the processor being configured to detect whether a user has taken a vehicle based on detection of the vehicle through the communication module, determine an existence or nonexistence of a passenger in the vehicle based on at least one of an external electronic device searched for through the communication module, a sound collected by the at least one microphone, or an image obtained from the at least one camera module, identify relationship information on the passenger, analyze an attribute of audio of which an output has been requested, and control an audio output through the vehicle based on the relationship information and the attribute of the audio.

A device and a method for controlling a shading system of vehicle windows. A camera system detects image data of the head of a driver. The image data is evaluated to determine a gaze direction of the driver either as a function of a current pose of the head or body position of the driver ascertained based on the image data or as a function of eye positions of the driver determined based on image data. The shading system is controlled when the determined current gaze direction is looking in an interior rear view mirror, in the direction of the rear window, in the direction of one of the side windows, a reverse gear of the vehicle is set/activated, and the vehicle is in operation/activated. The control involves suspending or switching off a current shading/darkening of the rear window or of the side window in the gaze direction of the driver.

A system for handling a lost item in an autonomous vehicle and a server. The vehicle includes a vision sensor configured to respectively capture a first vehicle interior image and a second vehicle interior image when a passenger boards and alights from the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to transmit the captured first vehicle interior image and second vehicle interior image to the server. The server is configured to compare the first vehicle interior image with the second vehicle interior image and transmit lost item information to the passenger when the lost item in the vehicle is sensed.

Proposed are a system for and a method of controlling an in-vehicle environment based on the purpose of using a vehicle. The system includes a recognition unit configured to acquire behavioral information of an occupant, in-vehicle voice information, and seat-position information, a determination unit configured to determine a behavioral pattern of the occupant or the purpose of using a vehicle, using the information transferred through the recognition unit, and a controller configured to control at least one of in-vehicle illumination and a window transparency level according to the purpose of using the vehicle or according to a user's preference.

A pacification method based on emotion recognition, includes: acquiring at least one of a voice and an image of a user; determining whether the user has abnormal emotion, according to the at least one of the voice and the image of a user; and in response to the user having abnormal emotion, determining a pacification manner according to the emotion of the user, and performing emotional pacification on the user. An apparatus, a device and a storage medium are also provided.
