Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure render safer a communication between a caller within a vehicle and a callee located remotely. In one aspect, context information associated with such communication can be shared among the caller and the callee. Accordingly, in another aspect, a context-rich, immersive communication between the in-vehicle communicator (or local communicator) and the remote communicator can be effected. In yet another aspect, proactive creation of safer vehicular operation can be provided by engaging the vehicle in communication with a remote device in response to unsafe vehicular contexts.
Claims30
At least one computer-readable non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer-accessible instructions that, in response to execution, cause at least one processor to perform operations for communication comprising:
- accessing, at a computing system having at least one processor, context information indicative of context of a vehicle during operation;
- determining, at the computing system, if a local device is in communication with a remote device;
- and
- in response to ascertaining that the local device is in communication with the remote device, configuring at least a portion of the context information at the computing system, and
- transmitting, at the computing system, at least the portion of the context information to the local device.
At least one computer-readable non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer-accessible instructions that, in response to execution, cause at least one processor to perform operations for communication comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, situational information indicative of a situation of a vehicle during operation, wherein the computing device is remote to the vehicle;
- receiving, at the computing device, state information indicative of a state of an occupant of the vehicle;
- extracting, at the computing device, alternative context information from the context information based at least in part on a configuration of the context information;
- and
- rendering, at the computing device, at least a portion the alternative context information based at least in part on the context of the vehicle.
A system for communication, comprising:
- at least one memory storage having encoded there on computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor functionally coupled to the at least one memory device and configured, by the computer-executable instructions,
- to access context information indicative of at least one of context of a vehicle during operation or context of an occupant of the vehicle,
- to determine if a local device is in communication with a remote device, and
- in response to the local device being in communication with the remote device, to configure at least a portion of the context information at the system and to transmit at least the portion of the context information to the local device.
