Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving, at a computing device in a vehicle, data from a server computer comprising a plurality of sporting event data items. The computing device may determine which of the plurality of sporting event data items to present to a user, by performing various operations. Some example operations may comprise determining a relevancy score for each individual sporting event data of the plurality of sporting event data items, and analyzing navigational attributes of the vehicle to determine navigational conditions. The computing device may select sporting event data items based on the relevancy score and navigational conditions and present the selected sporting event data items to the user.

7. The method of claim 6, further including:

in response to determining that the emotional state is agitated, only presenting first ones of the plurality of sporting event data items when the relevancy score for the first ones is high.

8. The method of claim 1, further including:

determining whether the navigational attributes correspond to a neutral driving condition or a low maintenance driving condition; and

in response to determining that the navigational attributes correspond to the neutral driving condition, presenting second sporting event data items including the first sporting event data item when relevancy scores for respective ones of the second sporting event data items are less than the first relevancy score.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the relevancy scores are first relevancy scores and further including:

in response to determining that the navigational attributes correspond to the low maintenance driving condition, presenting third sporting event data items including the first sporting event data item and the second sporting event data items when second relevancy scores for respective ones of the third sporting event data items are less than the first relevancy score and the first relevancy scores.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first sporting event data item is displayed on at least one display in the vehicle.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein presenting the first sporting event data item includes providing an audio version of the first sporting event data item via one or more speakers in the vehicle.

12. The method of claim 1, further including:

detecting a change of at least one of the location of the vehicle, the vehicle sensor data, or the vehicle navigational data; and

pause the presentation of the first sporting event data item based on the change.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the change includes at least one of a sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, a sudden turn of a steering wheel of the vehicle, complex navigational instructions, changing traffic conditions, or changing weather conditions.

14. The method of claim 1, further including determining an emotional state of a user operating the vehicle by:

accessing first biometric data from one or more biometric sensors monitoring a user operating the vehicle, the first biometric data corresponding to expressions of the user including at least one of a hand expression, a facial expression, or a vocal expression;

accessing second biometric data from the one or more biometric sensors, the second biometric data corresponding to biosignals of the user including at least one of a blood pressure, a heart rate, a body temperature, a perspiration, or a brain wave;

accessing third biometric data from the one or more biometric sensors, the third biometric data to identify the user by at least one of voice identification, retinal identification, facial identification, fingerprint identification, or electroencephalogram-based identification; and

determining whether an emotional state of the user is calm, neutral, or agitated based on at least one of the first biometric data, the second biometric data, or the third biometric data.

15. A computing device in a vehicle comprising:

a processor; and

a memory in communication with the processor, the memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to at least;

determine a relevancy score for respective ones of a plurality of sporting event data items based on navigational attributes of the vehicle, the plurality of sporting event data items obtained from a server computer by the computing device, the navigational attributes to include at least one of a location of the vehicle, vehicle sensor data, or vehicle navigational data;

determine whether the navigational attributes correspond to a driving condition; and

when the navigational attributes correspond to a high-maintenance driving condition, presenting a first sporting event data item of the plurality of sporting event data items when a first relevancy score of the first sporting event data item corresponds to the high-maintenance driving condition.

16. The computing device of claim 15, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to determine an emotional state of a user operating the vehicle and present the first sporting event data item based on user emotional data associated with the emotional state.

17. The computing device of claim 15, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to determine an emotional state of a user operating the vehicle by:
