Ambient vehicle and pedestrian state detection for device notification
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- an interactive device;
one or more sensors; and
one or more processors programmed to;
enable a first level of user interaction with the interactive device while the vehicle is moving;
receiving, from the one or more sensors, data corresponding to ambient conditions relative to the vehicle, the ambient conditions corresponding to external environment conditions; and
based on the received data, allowing a second level of user interaction with the interactive device.

Abstract
Described is a technology by which ambient data related to a vehicle is sensed and processed, for use in determining a state change related to external traffic awareness. Based upon the state change, an allowed level of interactivity with a user interface may be changed, and/or a notification may be output. Images and/or depth data may be sensed as part of determining whether a user who is interacting with a device in a stopped vehicle is to be made aware of the changed condition with respect to other vehicles, pedestrians and/or the like.

8. A method for regulating user interaction with a vehicle'"'"'s interactive device,
the vehicle comprising one or more sensors to monitor ambient conditions relative to the vehicle, the method comprising: -
enabling a first level of user interaction with the interactive device while the vehicle is moving; receiving, from the one or more sensors, data corresponding to the ambient conditions relative to the vehicle, the ambient conditions corresponding to external environment conditions; and based on the received data, allowing a second level of user interaction with the interactive device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more computer-readable storage devices having computer-executable instructions for regulating user interaction with a vehicle'"'"'s interactive device, the vehicle comprising one or more sensors to monitor ambient conditions relative to the vehicle, the computer-executable instruction when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
enable a first level of user interaction with the interactive device while the vehicle is moving; receive, from the one or more sensors, data corresponding to the ambient conditions relative to the vehicle, the ambient conditions corresponding to external environment conditions; and based on the received data, allow a second level of user interaction with the interactive device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
