Electronic digital display systems, including roadside display devices, vehicle-based devices, personal mobile devices, intermediary servers, advertising servers, and/or additional external data sources may operate individually or in combination to identify one or more vehicle locations, driving routes, driver and passenger characteristics, and the like. Vehicle and individual characteristics may be determined based on data received from traffic cameras, vehicle-based devices, personal mobile devices, and/or other data sources. Based on the vehicle characteristics, individual characteristics, driving data and driving patterns, and the like, digital content may be determined for electronic roadside displays to be viewable by the approaching vehicles, and/or other digital display devices to be viewable by associated individuals via other display devices and at other times. Various techniques may be used to determine customized digital content, such as targeted advertisements and/or driving or vehicle safety messages, including retrieval and aggregation of certain characteristics, prioritization of characteristics, and real-time auctions for advertisements. Additionally, certain systems may be interactive to allow user responses and follow-up content via on-board vehicle devices or other user devices.

According to one aspect, a platform for providing at least one item to a customer is disclosed. The platform includes an autonomous, semi-autonomous, or fully autonomous vehicle that includes at least one compartment configured to contain a first item ordered by the customer and to contain a second item not ordered by the customer. The platform further includes an application including an ordering module configured to obtain an order from the customer that includes the first item, and a release detection module configured to determine when the first item has been removed from the at least one compartment and configured to determine when the second item has been removed from the at least one compartment. In one embodiment, the second item is predicted using a machine learning algorithm.

An information processing apparatus, which is provided to display advertisement information on a display apparatus installed with a display surface directed to a road, is configured to execute acquisition of a traveling situation of a vehicle which travels on the road; selection of a first display form or a second display form having an amount of information larger than that of the first display form, as the display form of the advertisement information on the basis of the traveling situation; and display of the advertisement information on the display apparatus in the display form selected on the basis of the traveling situation.

A system or method for reconfiguring (dynamically) a vehicle display may comprise: a Graphical User Interface (GUI) including a first display area; an input gesture area of the first display area; a HUD unit; a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, configure the system to: (1) display, at a first time, a configuration area to a portion of the GUI, wherein the configuration area includes at least one of a vehicle dash information, readouts, instruments, indicators, or controls arranged as a visual representation of a virtual dash display for the HUD unit; (2) receive a gesture input at the GUI, wherein the gesture input corresponds to an instruction to reconfigure at least one of a layout, size, position, features, instruments, indicators, color schemes, or controls for display on at least one of an above a vehicle dash by the HUD unit, a reconfigurable dash display, a reconfigurable console display, or a reconfigurable user device display; and wherein the gesture input is at least one of hand gesture or touch gesture received through at least one of a gesture capture region or image capture disposed on at least one of a dash, console, dash display, or console display.

A method and system of providing zone-specific control of one or more of features of at least one communication device by a vehicle, the system comprising: a microprocessor executable feature control module connected with at least communication device (connected device), wherein the feature control module is configured to receive input from at least one of a sensor of the communication device or specific zone/s to locate the at least one communication device with respect to the zone/s; at least one of the feature control module or device location module determining for the at least one connected device, the specific zone associated with the at least one connected device, wherein the specific zone is labeled with a rule or condition for degree of restriction of one or more features of the at least one connected device; and the feature control module limiting access or control of one or more features of the at least one connected device based on the rules or conditions assigned to the determined zone, wherein the rules or condition are defined by at least one of a group, entity, individual, manufacture, in response to a vehicle or communication device detected input or condition, or any combination thereof.

Methods and systems are presented for accepting inputs into a vehicle or other conveyance to control functions of the conveyance. A vehicle control system can receive gestures and other inputs. The vehicle control system can also obtain information about the user of the vehicle control system and information about the environment in which the conveyance is operating. Based on the input and the other information, the vehicle control system can modify or improve the performance or execution of user interface and functions of the conveyance. The changes make the user interfaces and/or functions user-friendly and intuitive.

The present disclosure relates to a voice assistant that may provide a generalized recommendation based on a natural flow of a conversation and thereafter, generate specific advertisements if there is interest in the generalized recommendation. In an illustrative embodiment, the voice assistant operating on a vehicle computing system may interact with a driver or operator of the vehicle to both respond to and anticipate the user's needs. The voice assistant may identify potential advertisements based on communications with the driver or occupant. The generalized recommendation related to the potential advertisements may be provided to the driver or occupant. If there is interest, the voice assistant may provide an advertisement within the potential advertisements. Real-time information from a location of the advertisement may also be provided that typify the feeling of the location to further draw interest to the advertisement.

A housing provided with an advertisement display is mounted on a vehicle or a user's article or a user's body; a local communication unit or the like is provided in the housing; and the local communication unit, the mobile terminal are wirelessly connected to each other and the GPS is activated, and the mobile terminal transmits transmission and reception information and location and speed information to the server when the mobile terminal in possession of the user approaches the housing.

A system and method for collecting, processing, storing, or transmitting traffic data. A localized data collection module may retrieve, receive, or intercept traffic data through or from hardware installed in a traffic control cabinet adjacent an intersection or other roadway feature of interest. Data which may have previously been confined to a closed loop traffic control system may be remotely accessible for traffic operations control or monitoring via a network connected server and/or cloud architecture.

An advertisement consideration calculating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives location information and time information of a moving body; and a determining section that determines a consideration for advertisement posting on the moving body on the basis of the location information and the time information received by the receiving section.
