Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to provide a first structured incentive responsive to the use of a first vehicle feature. The processor is further configured to store aggregated structured incentives. The processor is also configured to determine a second vehicle feature to be used, which will result in provision of a second structured incentive. Finally, the processor is configured to recommend usage of the second vehicle feature
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- provide a first structured incentive responsive to the use of a first vehicle feature;
- store aggregated structured incentives;
- determine a second vehicle feature to be used, which will result in provision of a second structured incentive;
- and
- recommend usage of the second vehicle feature.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing a first structured incentive responsive to the use of a first vehicle feature;
- storing aggregated structured incentives;
- determining a second vehicle feature to be used, which will result in provision of a second structured incentive;
- and
- recommending usage of the second vehicle feature.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method comprising:
- providing a first structured incentive responsive to the use of a first vehicle feature;
- storing aggregated structured incentives;
- determining a second vehicle feature to be used, which will result in provision of a second structured incentive;
- and
- recommending usage of the second vehicle feature.
