APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING TAILORED INFORMATION TO VEHICLE USERS BASED ON VEHICLE COMMUNITY INPUT
First Claim
1. A customer-service-center system, method, for providing a relevant information set, based on vehicle crowd data, to vehicles, the method comprising:
- a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, for providing a constructed information set, based on vehicle crowd data, to vehicles, comprising;
receiving, from a plurality of participating vehicles, vehicle crowd data relating to a condition sensed by the participating vehicles in a geographic area, yielding received vehicle crowd data, wherein the condition includes at least one pre-identified condition selected from a group consisting of;
cruise-control engagement;
road hazard;
icy road;
other slick-road condition; and
vehicle-security violation;
filtering the received vehicle crowd data, yielding filtered vehicle crowd data;
constructing, using the filtered vehicle crowd data, the constructed information set; and
sending the constructed information set for delivery to one or more user vehicles associated with the geographic area.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method, for providing a relevant information set, based on vehicle crowd data, to vehicles. The method includes receiving, from a plurality of participating vehicles, vehicle crowd data relating to a condition sensed by the participating vehicles in a geographic area, yielding received vehicle crowd data. In one embodiment, the condition includes at least one pre-identified condition selected from a group consisting of cruise-control engagement, road hazard, icy road, other slick-road condition, and vehicle-security violation. The method also includes filtering the received vehicle crowd data, yielding relevant vehicle crowd data, and constructing, by the device, using the relevant vehicle crowd data, the relevant information set. The method further includes sending the relevant information set for delivery to one or more user vehicles associated with the geographic area.

-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, for providing a constructed information set, based on vehicle crowd data, to vehicles, comprising; receiving, from a plurality of participating vehicles, vehicle crowd data relating to a road condition sensed by the participating vehicles in a geographic area, yielding received vehicle crowd data; filtering the received vehicle crowd data, yielding filtered vehicle crowd data, wherein the filtering includes determining, in connection with each item of received vehicle crowd data, a relevance level; constructing, using the filtered vehicle crowd data, the constructed information set; and sending the constructed information set for delivery to one or more user vehicles associated with the geographic area. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A customer-service-center system, method, for providing a relevant information set, based on vehicle crowd data, to vehicles, the method comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, for providing a constructed information set, based on vehicle crowd data, to vehicles, comprising; receiving, from a plurality of participating vehicles, vehicle crowd data relating to a condition sensed by the participating vehicles in a geographic area, yielding received vehicle crowd data; filtering the received vehicle crowd data, yielding filtered vehicle crowd data, wherein; the filtering includes estimating a value corresponding to the condition according to;
x(t)E=Bx(t)+(1−
B)x(t−
T);x(t)E represents the value estimated; B represents a pre-established weighted factor; x(t) represents a present condition level, corresponding to the condition, the received vehicle crowd data, and a present time (t); and x(t−
T) represents a recent condition level, corresponding to the condition, and a recent time (t−
T) separated from the present time (t) by a separation time (T);constructing, using the filtered vehicle crowd data, the constructed information set; and sending the constructed information set for delivery to one or more user vehicles associated with the geographic area.
