Abstract
Provided are a computer program products, systems, and methods for directing a system to control an intensity of light emanating from a display positioned within a vehicle to display content to be viewed from outside of the vehicle. The system determines whether the system is operating in a first mode or a second mode based on at least one vehicle operating condition. A light level within the vehicle is sampled more frequently during the second mode than during the first mode. A determination is made as to whether a threshold change in the sampled light level occurs when in the second mode, and an intensity of the display is adjusted in response to the occurrence of a threshold change.
Claims21
A computer program product for controlling an intensity of light emanating from a display positioned within a vehicle to display content to be viewed from outside of the vehicle, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that when executed performs operations, the operations comprising:
- determining a first mode or a second mode based on a sampling of a light level within the vehicle;
- after the determining one of the first mode and the second mode, sampling a light level within the vehicle more frequently during the second mode than during the first mode;
- determining whether a threshold change in the sampled light level occurs when in the second mode;
- and
- adjusting an intensity of the display in response to occurrence of the threshold change.
(canceled)
A system for controlling an intensity of light emanating from a display positioned within a vehicle to display content to be viewed from outside of the vehicle, comprising:
- a display configured to be mounted in a vehicle;
- a light sensor configured to be mounted in the vehicle and configured to sense a light level in a localized area of the vehicle;
- a processor configured to send a signal to control an intensity of light emanating from the display;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that when executed performs operations, the operations comprising:
- determining a first mode or a second mode based on a sampling of a light level within the vehicle;
- after the determining one of the first mode and the second mode, sampling a light level within the vehicle more frequently during the second mode than during the first mode;
- determining whether a threshold change in the sampled light level occurs when in the second mode;
- and
- adjusting an intensity of the display in response to occurrence of the threshold change.
