A waste collection system includes a movable waste box to automatically travel by using a sensor group including cameras, a sonar, a millimeter wave radar, and a LiDAR, and a supervision apparatus to manage the movable waste box. The movable waste box autonomously moves by following path information indicating a path. The movable waste box includes a waste box to accept waste a person who is present partway on a path has. The supervision apparatus includes a path information generating unit to generate the path information and to transmit the path information to the movable waste box.

Methods and apparatus for personalizing a vehicle with a sensory output device include receiving, by one or more processors, a signal indicating an identity or passenger profile of a detected passenger in or boarding the vehicle, accessing preference data and geographic location data for the passenger, and selecting sensory content for delivery to the passenger in the vehicle based on the preference data and geographic location data. Methods and apparatus for producing video customized for a preference profile of a person or cohort include associating each of stored video clips with a set of characteristic parameters relating to user-perceivable characteristics, receiving user profile data relating to the person or cohort, selecting video clips from the data structure based at least partly on the user profile data, and automatically producing a video including the preferred video clips.

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

Predictive advertising systems and methods suitable for use in a mobile environment are disclosed. The predictive advertising systems and methods include safety and privacy features. The predictive outcomes may include, for example, predicting behavior of the transportation devices, including whether the surrounding vehicles are fully stopped, or soon will be fully stopped, and if so, the predicted length of time that they will remain fully stopped. This information can be used to control an advertising output from the system.

A mobile terminal carried by a user includes a display configured to display both a digital ticket to use transportation and an advertisement, and a controller configured to control the display. The controller is configured to control the display such that the digital ticket is displayed. The controller is configured to, when a predetermined condition indicating that the user is getting on or off the transportation is satisfied, control the display such that a display area of the advertisement reduces as compared to when the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

Vehicles, components, and methods present information based on context, for example presenting a first list or menu of items (e.g., food) or first set of signage or color scheme when in a first location or during a first period, and presenting a second list or menu of items (e.g., food) or second set of signage or color scheme when in a second location or during a second period. For instance, a first menu of items (e.g., relatively more expensive entrees, beverages) may be displayed via one or more displays or screens at a first location during a first period, and a second menu of items (e.g., relatively less expensive entrees, beverages) may be displayed at a second location during a second period. Context (e.g., present location, destination, date, day, period of time, event, size of crowd, movement of crowd, weather) may be manually provided, or autonomously discerned, and presentation automatically.

The present disclosure generally relates to an electronic system, a computerized method, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for advertisement pricing. The system comprises a host server configured for performing steps of the method comprising: identifying a locality for displaying an advertisement; receiving traffic observation data from one or more traffic servers; generating vehicular traffic data based on the traffic observation data, the vehicular traffic data indicative of vehicular traffic activity in the locality; and performing an advertisement pricing process based on at least the vehicular traffic data to determine advertisement prices for displaying the advertisement in the locality.

Described is a display system for a vehicle. The display system uses one or more active displays integrated into a new vehicle or coupled as an aftermarket product in an existing vehicle. The new vehicle with integrated displays of the system may be provided to a purchaser for a reduced cost for participation in the advertisement system. The system operates to provide nearby vehicle occupants, pedestrians, or others with advertisement and/or emergency messages using the displays. The display system can show advertising messages or emergency messages on the active displays that are relevant to the location of the vehicle. The system may operate to prioritize the advertisement messages or emergency messages that will be displayed based on determinations made by a server of the system.

A system and method for processing traffic data and locally generated data. A traffic signal monitoring device may be associated with a vehicle and configured to receive traffic data from traffic infrastructure devices. The traffic signal monitoring device may additionally or alternatively utilize local data (e.g., speed of the vehicle) to generate alerts to notify a driver of hazardous conditions or to suppress operations (e.g., notifications, menus) of a device to reduce distractions.

A computing system may receive based on position and a detected accident, an internet protocol (IP) packet with a safety control instruction having a security access code for the vehicle. The computing system may determine validity of the security access code and verify a security level associated with the security access code before processing the safety control instruction. Voice communications between the vehicle computing system and the remote vehicle management center may be setup based on the security level.
