Vehicular warnings based upon pedestrian or cyclist presence
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing alerts, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, the sensor data defining an electronic vehicle environment, the electronic vehicle environment indicating a vehicle location of the vehicle within the electronic vehicle environment;
identifying within the electronic vehicle environment, by one or more processors, an electronic pedestrian or cyclist location associated with a pedestrian or cyclist, the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location determined by a mobile device associated with the pedestrian or cyclist;
determining, by one or more processors, that the pedestrian or cyclist meets predetermined alert criteria based upon the electronic vehicle location and the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location;
generating, by one or more processors, an alert indicating a presence of the pedestrian or cyclist within the vicinity of the vehicle; and
presenting the alert on a display screen.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for providing alerts. In various aspects, sensor data is received at one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, where the sensor data defines an electronic vehicle environment that indicates an electronic location of the vehicle. An electronic pedestrian or cyclist location is identified within the electronic vehicle environment, which is determined by a mobile device associated with a pedestrian or cyclist. Where a determination is made that the pedestrian or cyclist meets predetermined alert criteria based upon the electronic vehicle location and the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location, an alert is generated that indicates the presence of the pedestrian or cyclist within the vicinity of the vehicle. The alert is presented on a display screen.

10. A computer system for providing alerts, the computer system including one or more processors configured to:
-
receive, by the one or more processors, sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, the sensor data defining an electronic vehicle environment, the electronic vehicle environment indicating a vehicle location of the vehicle within the electronic vehicle environment; identify within the electronic vehicle environment, by the one or more processors, an electronic pedestrian or cyclist location associated with a pedestrian or cyclist, the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location determined by a mobile device associated with the pedestrian or cyclist; determine, by the one or more processors, that the pedestrian or cyclist meets predetermined alert criteria based upon the electronic vehicle location and the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location; determine, by the one or more processors, an alert indicating a presence of the pedestrian or cyclist within the vicinity of the vehicle; and transmit, via the one or more processors, the alert, wherein the alert is presented on a display screen. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for providing alerts, that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:
-
receive, by the one or more processors, sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, the sensor data defining an electronic vehicle environment, the electronic vehicle environment indicating a vehicle location of the vehicle within the electronic vehicle environment; identify within the electronic vehicle environment, by the one or more processors, an electronic pedestrian or cyclist location associated with a pedestrian or cyclist, the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location determined by a mobile device associated with the pedestrian or cyclist; determine, by the one or more processors, that the pedestrian or cyclist meets predetermined alert criteria based upon the electronic vehicle location and the electronic pedestrian or cyclist location; determine, by the one or more processors, an alert indicating a presence of the pedestrian or cyclist within the vicinity of the vehicle; and transmit, via the one or more processors, the alert, wherein the alert is presented on a display screen. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
