A dynamic vending system includes a vending manager and a delivery vehicle. The vending manager is configured to receive and evaluate a plurality of dynamic conditions from the delivery vehicle and to provide instructions including a planned route to the delivery vehicle based on the dynamic conditions. The delivery vehicle includes a plurality of products available for sale, and is configured to execute the instructions including the planned route. The delivery vehicle is further configured to receive requests from consumers to stop along the planned route and to execute a transaction with the consumer for one of the products available for sale. The transaction includes the selection of one of the products available for sale, receipt of payment for the product, and dispensing the selected product to the consumer.

A control device as an advertisement display device that is mountable on a vehicle includes a calculation unit configured to calculate a time for which an occupant of another vehicle is able to visually recognize a video displayed on a display attached to a host vehicle based on a driving state of the host vehicle, and a display controller configured to display an advertisement edited such that a video time corresponds to the visually recognizable time calculated by the calculation unit on the display.

A vehicle is a movable body capable of traveling in a driver-operated mode and traveling in a driverless mode, and includes an advertisement display device and a controller. The advertisement display device is configured to switch between a first state to provide an advertisement outside of the vehicle and a second state to provide no advertisement outside of the vehicle. The controller is configured to control the advertisement display device to enter the first state during traveling in the driverless mode.

A method for facilitating a promotion using autonomous vehicles is provided. The method includes extracting requirements for a promotion activity, collecting first sensor data of the promotion activity on a route of a first autonomous vehicle, and determining whether the promotion activity for which the first sensor data is collected is a valid promotion opportunity. If the promotion activity is determined to be the valid promotion opportunity, when a second autonomous vehicle is determined to be traveling on a route passing by a location of the promotion activity, collecting second sensor data of the promotion activity, and determining, based on the second sensor data and the details of the valid promotion opportunity, whether the second sensor data corresponds to the valid promotion opportunity. When the second sensor data is determined to correspond to the valid promotion opportunity, a promotion is provided to a user interface of the second autonomous vehicle.

One general aspect includes a method to display information, the method including: receiving over a V2X channel, via a processor, media content related information from a vehicle; producing, via the processor, an advertisement based on the media content related information; and exhibiting, via the processor, the advertisement on a display positioned at a remote location visible to the vehicle.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processing system including a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, including detecting a vehicle, obtaining a demographic profile for an occupant of the vehicle, obtaining a directed advertisement for the vehicle based on the demographic profile of the occupant, generating a message for the vehicle based on the directed advertisement, and broadcasting the message to the vehicle, wherein an on-board device of the vehicle receives the message. Other embodiments are disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for triggering one or several actions complementary to those triggered by an application method implemented by an electronic device. The invention further relates to a system including one or several electronic devices implementing said method triggering complementary actions to cooperate with one or several communicating electronic peripherals.

A digital license plate supporting both access and analysis of vehicle relevant information is disclosed. The digital license plate includes sensors that provide status data to a processor in the digital license plate. A power path control module can initiate power state changes and adjust power depending on system state as determined by at least one the multiple sensors. In some embodiments a temperature control module is connected to a temperature sensor and configured to modify heat relevant display parameters as critical temperatures are approached.

An information providing device includes: an outputter configured to output information; a communicator configured to communicate with other devices; an inputter configured to be operated by a user of a vehicle; a first acquirer configured to acquire biological information of the user; a second acquirer configured to acquire position information of the vehicle; a first determiner configured to determine a communication mode of the communicator on the basis of an operation input to the inputter; a communication controller configured to cause the communicator to transmit the biological information and the position information to the other devices in a case in which the communication mode is determined to be a first mode by the first determiner; and an output controller configured to cause the outputter to output promotion information for urging the user to input a first operation for causing the first determiner to determine the first mode to the inputter.

A vehicle mountable holographic promoting system and method of use; the vehicle mountable holographic promoting system includes a body with at least one light, a mount, and a controller in communication with a software application and the body. The body is mountable to the vehicle via the mount. The mount is able to be removably attachable or otherwise secured to roof of a vehicle. The controller controls the body such that the body is able to visually promote via an image display at least one promotable item using the at least one light. The promotable item appearing to float on a plane above the vehicle.
