Abstract
A system in a vehicle that includes a camera configured to capture images proximate the vehicle; a GPS transceiver configured to identify a location of the vehicle, and a processor in communication with the camera and the GPS transceiver and programmed to determine the vehicle is proximate to a point of interest (POI) associated with a security mode of the vehicle. The processor is further programmed to, in response to the vehicle proximate to the POI and identifying an occupant of the vehicle outside of the vehicle, send a request to the camera to capture one or more images of an environment proximate the vehicle.
Claims20
A system in a vehicle, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture images proximate the vehicle;
- a global position system (GPS) transceiver configured to identify a location of the vehicle;
- a processor m communication with the camera and the GPS transceiver and programmed to:
- determine the vehicle is proximate to a point of interest (POI) associated with a security mode of the vehicle, wherein the POI is associated to a navigation database;
- and
- in response to the vehicle proximate to the POI and identifying an occupant of the vehicle outside of the vehicle, send a request to the camera to capture one or more images of an environment proximate the vehicle.

- a processor m communication with a camera and the GPS transceiver and programmed to:
- determine the vehicle is proximate to a point of interest (POI) associated with a security mode of the vehicle, wherein the POI is associated to a navigation database;
- and
- in response to the vehicle proximate to the POI and identifying an occupant of the vehicle out of the vehicle utilizing images from the camera, activate the security mode that sends a request to the camera to capture one or more images of an environment proximate the vehicle.
A system in a vehicle, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture images proximate the vehicle;
- a global position system (GPS) transceiver configured to identify a location of the vehicle;
- a display;
- a processor in communication with the camera, the GPS transceiver, and the display and programmed to:
- determine the vehicle is proximate to a point of interest (POI) associated with a security mode of the vehicle, wherein the POI is associated to a navigation database;
- and
- in response to the vehicle proximate to the POI and identifying an occupant of the vehicle outside of the vehicle, activate the security mode that sends a request to the camera to capture one or more images of an environment proximate the vehicle;
- and
- in response to detecting one or more persons approaching the occupant of the vehicle out of the vehicle based upon the one or more images of the environment proximate the vehicle, output a notification on the display to dial an emergency contact.
