Abstract
Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may include a vehicle assistance controller to convey content to one or more display devices. The vehicle assistance controller may operate to access a user input device to determine an assistance topic for charging and/or discharging one or more energy storage elements (e.g., one or more batteries) of the vehicle. The vehicle assistance controller may additionally operate to determine a delivery mode for the content, which is applicable to the assistance topic, based on the access of the user input device, and to deliver the content to the one or more display devices via the determined delivery mode.
Claims18
A vehicle assistance controller to convey content to one or more display devices of, or in communication with, a vehicle, the vehicle assistance controller comprising:
- at least one memory device to store computer program code;
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the at least one memory device, which, responsive to executing the computer program code, are to:
- access a user input device to determine an assistance topic for charging and/or discharging one or more energy storage elements of the vehicle;
- determine a delivery mode for the content, which is applicable to the assistance topic, via or based on the access of the user input device, wherein determining the delivery mode comprises determining, based on a user selection associated with the delivery mode, to deliver the content to a display device of the vehicle and a wearable augmented reality display device;
- and
- deliver the content to one or more display devices via the determined delivery mode, wherein delivering the content comprises:
- delivering virtual reality content to the display device of the vehicle, and
- delivering augmented reality content to the wearable augmented reality display device.
A method to convey content to one or more display devices of, or in communication with, a vehicle, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:
- accessing a user input device to determine an assistance topic for charging and/or discharging one or more energy storage elements of the vehicle;
- determining a delivery mode for the content applicable to the assistance topic via the accessing of the user input device, wherein determining the delivery mode comprises determining, based on a user selection associated with the delivery mode, to deliver the content to a display device of the vehicle or a wearable augmented reality display device;
- and
- delivering the content to one or more display devices via the determined delivery mode, wherein delivering the content comprises:
- delivering virtual reality content to the display device of the vehicle, and
- delivering augmented reality content to the wearable augmented reality display device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions for causing one or more processors of a vehicle assistance controller to perform at least the following:
- accessing a user input device to determine an assistance topic for charging and/or discharging one or more energy storage elements of the vehicle;
- determining a delivery mode for content applicable to the assistance topic via the accessing of the user input device, wherein determining the delivery mode comprises determining, based on a user selection associated with the delivery mode, to deliver the content to a display device of the vehicle or a wearable augmented reality display device;
- and
- delivering the content to one or more display devices via the determined delivery mode, wherein delivering the content comprises:
- delivering virtual reality content to the display device of the vehicle, and
- delivering content comprising augmented reality content to the wearable augmented reality display device.
