Abstract

The disclosure includes a system and method for generating cloud-based content for a heads-up display. The cloud server includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: register the first user and the second user, generate a social graph between with a connection between the first user and the second user, receive vehicle data from the first user and the second user, and process the data according to attributes. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: transmit sensor data to a cloud server, receive processed content from the cloud server that is aggregated from multiple vehicles, filter the processed content for a first user, selecting a graphic for the filtered content, and position the graphic to correspond to the first user'"'"'s eye frame.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

transmitting sensor data to a cloud server with a processor-based computing device programmed to perform the transmitting;

receiving processed content from the cloud server that is aggregated from multiple vehicles;

filtering the processed content for a first user;

selecting a graphic for the filtered content; and

positioning the graphic to correspond to the first user'"'"'s eye frame.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein filtering the processed content for the first user includes keeping content from a second user that has a connection with the first user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the graphic for the filtered content including a point of interest on a map from the first user, the point of interest being within a threshold distance of the first user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein prior to receiving processed content from the cloud server, the cloud server:

registers the first user and the second user;

generates a social graph between with a connection between the first user and the second user;

receives vehicle data from the first user and the second user; and

processes the data according to attributes.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the vehicle data includes a point of interest on a map identified by the second user.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein processing the data according to attributes includes associating content with categories and wherein filtering the processed content is based on the categories.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

generating a user profile for the first user, the user profile including categories; and

wherein filtering the processed content for the first user includes filtering the processed content based on the processed content including the categories in the user profile.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

organizing the filtered content according to relevancy; and

selecting graphics for a predetermined number of pieces of filtered content that fit on a heads-up display.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

comparing current sensor data to historical sensor data to determine that the first user is in a hurry based on at least one of leaving less room between a first client device and a second client device and using brakes more frequently; and

wherein filtering the processed content is further based on the user being in the hurry.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the processed content includes information about an entity as detected by a first client device that views the entity before the first user.

11. A computer program product comprising a tangible, non-transitory computer-usable medium including a computer-readable program, wherein the computer-readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

transmit sensor data to a cloud server;

receive processed content from the cloud server that is aggregated from multiple vehicles;

filter the processed content for a first user;

select a graphic for the filtered content; and

position the graphic to correspond to the first user'"'"'s eye frame.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein filtering the processed content for the first user includes keeping content from a second user that has a connection with the first user.

13. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein selecting the graphic for the filtered content including a point of interest on a map from the first user, the point of interest being within a threshold distance of the first user.

14. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein prior to receiving processed content from the cloud server, the cloud server including computer-readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

register the first user and the second user;

generate a social graph between with a connection between the first user and the second user;

receive vehicle data from the first user and the second user; and

process the data according to attributes.

15. The computer program product of claim 14, wherein the vehicle data includes a point of interest on a map identified by the second user.

16. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a tangible, non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to;

transmit sensor data to a cloud server;

receive processed content from the cloud server that is aggregated from multiple vehicles;

filter the processed content for a first user;

select a graphic for the filtered content; and

position the graphic to correspond to the first user'"'"'s eye frame.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein filtering the processed content for the first user includes keeping content from a second user that has a connection with the first user.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein selecting the graphic for the filtered content including a point of interest on a map from the first user, the point of interest being within a threshold distance of the first user.

19. The system of claim 16, further comprising a cloud server with a processor and a tangible, non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system prior to receiving processed content from the cloud server, to:

register the first user and the second user;

generate a social graph between with a connection between the first user and the second user;

receive vehicle data from the first user and the second user; and

process the data according to attributes.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the vehicle data includes a point of interest on a map identified by the second user.
