Provided are a method and device for measuring driving route familiarity. The method includes the following steps: extracting historical driving routes from user historical driving data; calculating information entropy for the user according to distribution of the driving routes; determining driving route familiarity for the user based on the information entropy.

Systems and methods for targeted advertisements displayed on a vehicle. A dynamic advertising platform leverages various ridehail service modalities to present targeted advertisements to users and bystanders. The modalities can include ridehail applications, external vehicle screens, interior vehicle screens, and other in-car experience formats. The targeted advertisements can be selected based on various factors, which can be personalized based on the user as well as based on the advertising business's preferences.

A method of controlling a drone positioned in a vehicle includes: determining the initial condition of the drone positioned inside the vehicle, releasing locking of the drone upon receiving a user request from a vehicle controller, receiving vehicle state information from the vehicle controller by a drone controller, performing flight of the drone in response to the user request, and after completing the user request, returning the drone to an initial position thereof.

Methods and systems for commercializing vehicle data. The method includes writing, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle, to a distributed ledger, vehicle data. The method also includes providing, by a computing device associated with a third party, a communication to the vehicle based on the vehicle data on the distributed ledger. The method also includes writing, by a processor of the computing device associated with the third party, to the distributed ledger, a record of providing the communication to the vehicle. The method also includes receiving, by the ECU of the vehicle, the communication.

A vehicle includes one or more controllers, programmed to responsive to detecting a vehicle location within a geofence of a first entity, qualify the first entity as one of business candidates to display to a screen; responsive to receiving a promotion from one or more of the business candidates, output the promotion; and responsive to receiving a user input, place a reservation to one of the business candidates.

A method of managing use of a digital billboard. The method comprises determining, by an analysis application executing on a computer system, a plurality of mobile viewsheds for each of a plurality of mobile communication devices, where a mobile viewshed comprises a location, a speed, a direction of travel of the mobile communication device, accessing demographic and profile information of a subscriber associated with the device, determining an arcscore for each of the mobile viewsheds that intersect a static viewshed of the digital billboard based in part on the speed of the mobile viewshed and the angular alignment of the direction of travel of the mobile viewshed with an orientation of the static viewshed of the digital billboard, and rotating content presentation on the digital billboard at a rate determined in part based on the arcscores and based on the average traffic speed.

The object of the present invention is to enable presentation of information on a target object (vehicle) located on a road to a pedestrian at an appropriate time and such that the information includes appropriate information for the pedestrian's statues. A pedestrian device transmits position data of a pedestrian to an in-vehicle device, which determines whether or not the pedestrian approaches a vehicle based on the position data. When determining that the pedestrian approaches the vehicle, the in-vehicle device transmits guidance direction information to the pedestrian device. The pedestrian device performs control based on the guidance direction information so as to guide the pedestrian to look in the direction toward the vehicle, and the pedestrian device acquires sight status information of the pedestrian from a wearable terminal and transmits the sight status information to the in-vehicle terminal. Then, the in-vehicle terminal determines whether or not the pedestrian sees the vehicle. When determining that the pedestrian does not see the vehicle, the in-vehicle terminal transmit alert information to the pedestrian terminal, and the pedestrian terminal performs control based on the alert information so as to provide an alert to the pedestrian.

An advertising interconnection system for hub rotation imaging includes a hub rotation imaging apparatus mounted on a hub and a communication component mounted on the hub and connected to the hub rotation imaging apparatus. The communication component includes a low-power short-distance communication component that can communicate between adjacent hubs, and a long-distance wireless communication component which is installed on at least one hub, and can communicate with the low-power short-distance communication component and establish a communication connection with a server through a base station.

A delivery control system includes a communication device configured to receive an image of a product from a computing device of a customer, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the delivery control system to perform an image recognition process on the image to identify at least one product based on the image, transmit the identified at least one product to the computing device via the communication device, receive from the computing device a product selected by the customer from among the identified at least one product, and instruct an robot vehicle to deliver the selected product to the customer.
