Abstract
A device includes a microprocessor and a computer readable medium coupled to the microprocessor. The computer readable medium includes instructions stored thereon that cause the microprocessor to receive output from at least one sensor monitoring an interior space of a vehicle and determine, based on the received output, a condition of an occupant in the interior space of the vehicle. The instructions cause the microprocessor to determine, based on the determined condition of the occupant, to alter a first presentation of information displayed to a display device of the vehicle to a second presentation of the information displayed to the display device. The instructions case the microprocessor to render the second presentation of the information to the display device of the vehicle to replace the first presentation of the information displayed to the display device of the vehicle.

21. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a camera to monitor an interior of the vehicle; a microprocessor; and a computer readable medium coupled to the microprocessor and comprising instructions stored thereon that cause the microprocessor to; identify, from output of the camera, a temporary condition of an operator of the vehicle; determine a priority level associated with the identified temporary condition, a magnitude of the priority level being related to a level of passenger safety, wherein each of a plurality of different possible temporary conditions is associated with a different priority level; determine, based on the priority level associated with the identified temporary condition of the operator, to alter a first presentation of selected information currently displayed by a display device of the vehicle to a different second presentation of the selected information to be displayed by the display device, the second presentation, for the identified temporary condition, having a higher degree of passenger safety than the first presentation; render the second presentation to the display device of the vehicle to replace display of the first presentation; and upon occurrence of a selected triggering event associated with the identified temporary condition, re-render the first presentation to the display device of the vehicle to replace the second presentation. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
-
providing a vehicle comprising a camera to monitor an interior of the vehicle, a microprocessor, and a computer readable medium coupled to the microprocessor; identifying, by the microprocessor and from output of the camera, a temporary condition of an operator of the vehicle; determining, by the microprocessor, a priority level associated with the identified temporary condition, a magnitude of the priority level being related to a level of passenger safety, wherein each of a plurality of different possible temporary conditions is associated with a different priority level; determining, by the microprocessor and based on the priority level associated with the identified temporary condition of the operator, to alter a first presentation of selected information currently displayed by a display device of the vehicle to a different second presentation of the selected information to be displayed by the display device, the second presentation, for the identified temporary condition, having a higher degree of passenger safety than the first presentation; rendering, by the microprocessor, the second presentation to the display device of the vehicle to replace display of the first presentation; detecting, by the microprocessor, that a selected triggering event associated with the identified temporary condition has occurred; and in response to the detecting, re-rendering, by the microprocessor, the first presentation to the display device of the vehicle to replace the second presentation. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
-
providing a vehicle comprising a camera to monitor an interior of the vehicle, a microprocessor, and a computer readable medium coupled to the microprocessor; identifying, by the microprocessor and from output of the camera, a temporary condition of an operator of the vehicle; determining, by the microprocessor, a priority level associated with the identified temporary condition, a magnitude of the priority level being related to a level of passenger safety; determining, by the microprocessor and based on the priority level associated with the identified temporary condition of the operator, to alter a first presentation of selected information currently displayed by a display device of the vehicle to a different second presentation of the selected information to be displayed by the display device, the second presentation, for the identified temporary condition, having a higher degree of passenger safety than the first presentation, wherein the microprocessor determines a safety score for the condition, the priority level being based on at least a safety score associated with the condition, and a weighting factor associated with the safety score; rendering, by the microprocessor, the second presentation to the display device of the vehicle to replace display of the first presentation; detecting, by the microprocessor, that a selected triggering event associated with the identified temporary condition has occurred; and in response to the detecting, re-rendering, by the microprocessor, the first presentation to the display device of the vehicle to replace the second presentation wherein the selected triggering event is a determination by the microprocessor that the identified temporary condition has remained unchanged over a selected threshold time interval or the operator is no longer operating the vehicle, wherein the temporary identified condition is an action by the operator, and wherein the first and second presentations differ in a position of the selected information in the display. - View Dependent Claims (40)
