Abstract

In examples provided herein, a system in a vehicle comprises a processor and a memory including instructions executable by the processor to aggregate and transmit to a context-aware platform (CAP) diagnostic data for a vehicle; receive from the CAP responsive information based on analysis of the diagnostic data; and cause the responsive information to be audibly provided to a driver of the vehicle.

Claims

1. A system in a vehicle comprising:

a processor;

a memory including instructions executable by the processor to;

aggregate and transmit to a context-aware platform (CAP) diagnostic data for a vehicle;

receive from the CAP responsive information based on analysis of the diagnostic data; and

cause the responsive information to be audibly provided to a driver of the vehicle.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory includes instructions further executable by the processor to:

provide location information of the vehicle to the CAP; and

cause an advertisement to be audibly provided to the driver or displayed on a digital billboard along a road on which the vehicle is located,

wherein the advertisement is for a retail establishment providing goods or services related to the responsive information, and

further wherein the retail establishment is within a predetermined distance of the vehicle.

3. The system of claim 2,

wherein the retail establishment is consistent with driver preferences, and driver preferences include implicit preferences and explicit preferences,

wherein implicit preferences are determined by the CAP by searching social media for information attributable to the driver, and

further wherein explicit preferences are specified by the driver.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory includes instructions further executable by the processor to:

provide location information of the vehicle to the CAP,

wherein the diagnostic data includes a vehicle fuel level, and further wherein the responsive information includes location information of a fueling station within a predetermined distance of the vehicle upon determination by the CAP that the vehicle fuel level is below a threshold level, and

wherein the diagnostic data includes vehicle performance information, and further wherein the responsive information includes location information of a service station within a predetermined distance of the vehicle upon determination by the CAP from the vehicle performance information that vehicle service is recommended.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processor to:

aggregate and transmit to the CAP driver state data;

receive instructions from the CAP for changing a condition of the vehicle upon determination by the CAP from the driver state data that the driver of the vehicle is falling asleep, wherein the instructions are consistent with the driver'"'"'s preferences, and

change the condition of the vehicle responsive to the instructions.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the diagnostic data includes vehicle operation information, and wherein the responsive information includes a recommendation to modify vehicle operation.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processor of a networked device associated with a user driving a vehicle comprising:

receive vehicle information to be audibly provided to the user,

wherein the vehicle information is based on diagnostic data received from a diagnostics module of the user'"'"'s vehicle that collects the diagnostic data about the vehicle,

wherein the vehicle information is received from a context-aware platform (CAP) that receives the diagnostic data from the diagnostics module; and

audibly providing the vehicle information to the user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor of the networked device and further comprising:

determine and provide location information for the vehicle to the server;

receive an audible advertisement for a retail establishment providing goods or services related to the vehicle information, wherein the retail establishment is within a predetermined distance of the vehicle; and

cause the audible advertisement to be audibly provided to the driver.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor of the networked device and further comprising:

wherein the vehicle information includes

     1) location information of a fueling station within a predetermined distance of the vehicle upon determination by the CAP from the diagnostic data that the vehicle fuel level is below a threshold level, or

     2) location information of a service station within a predetermined distance of the vehicle upon determination by the CAP from the diagnostic data that vehicle service is recommended to improve performance of the vehicle, and

further wherein the fueling station or the service station is based on the implicit preferences, explicit preferences, and/or social media information.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor of the networked device and further comprising:

receive from the CAP an electronic coupon for the user, wherein the coupon is for goods or services related to the received information provided by a retail establishment within a predetermined distance of the vehicle; and

notify the driver of availability of the coupon for redemption.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the coupon is based upon implicit or explicit preferences of the user.

12. A method comprising:

calling a diagnostic data analysis package to analyze diagnostic data from a vehicle; and

based on the analyzed diagnostic data, transmitting an alert via a networked device associated with a driver of the vehicle,

wherein the alert is provided audibly to the driver by the networked device.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

calling a preferences engine to determine driver preferences;

calling a location mapping package to query and receive location information for the vehicle; and

calling an audible advertisement selection package to identify an audible advertisement for goods or services provided by a retail establishment within a predetermined distance of the vehicle and meeting driver preferences; and

causing the audible advertisement to be audibly conveyed to the driver via the networked device.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

calling a coupon package to identify an electronic coupon for redeeming at the retail establishment;

transmitting the electronic coupon to the driver via a networked device; and

calling a coupon feedback package to analyze and provide coupon effectiveness based on coupon redemption information.

15. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

calling a preferences engine to determine driver preferences;

calling a location mapping package to query and receive location information for the vehicle;

calling an entertainment package to determine an entertainment option within a predetermined distance of the vehicle that meets driver preferences; and

transmitting the entertainment options to the driver via a networked device associated with the driver.
