US 11,113,727 B2 · Systems and methods for dynamic road sign personalization

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for presenting personalized information to one or more vehicle occupants as a vehicle approaches and/or passes a road sign. Characteristics of a vehicle, e.g., operating conditions, characteristics of the one or more vehicle occupants, e.g., age, demographic, driving record, purchase history, etc. and/or road conditions, e.g., weather-related road conditions, current traffic conditions, etc., may be obtained. Information relevant to the one or more vehicle occupants based on one or more of these characteristics/conditions may presented to the one or more vehicle occupants. In scenarios where the presentation of personalized information is unwanted/unwarranted, more generalized information and/or safety warnings or recommendations can be presented.

Dependent claims

A method for presenting to a vehicle, personalized and generalized information on a road sign, the method comprising:

a processor receiving sensor data from a sensor and using the sensor data to determine proximity of the vehicle to the road sign;
receiving data regarding at least one of operating characteristics of the vehicle and characteristics of one or more occupants of the vehicle;
determining road conditions proximate to the road sign, wherein the road conditions proximate to the road sign comprise a quantity of vehicles forming roadway congestion;
determining whether or not to present information on the road sign based on the quantity of vehicles forming the roadway congestion;
upon a determination that the quantity of vehicles exceeds the vehicle threshold, presenting generalized information on the road sign;
and
upon a determination that the quantity of vehicles does not exceed the vehicle threshold, presenting the personalized information on the road sign.

4 more elements

A system for presenting to a vehicle, personalized and generalized information on a road sign, the system comprising:

a memory;
and
a processor that is configured to execute machine readable instructions stored in the memory for performing a method comprising:
receiving sensor data from a sensor and using the sensor data to determine proximity of the vehicle to the road sign;
receiving data regarding at least one of operating characteristics of the vehicle and characteristics of one or more occupants of the vehicle;
determining road conditions proximate to the road sign, wherein the road conditions proximate to the road sign comprise a quantity of vehicles forming roadway congestion;
determining whether or not to present information on the road sign based on the quantity of vehicles forming the roadway congestion;
upon a determination that the quantity of vehicles exceeds the vehicle threshold, presenting generalized information on the road sign;
and
upon a determination that the quantity of vehicles does not exceed the vehicle threshold, presenting the personalized information on the road sign.
