Assessment and management of emotional state of a vehicle operator
First Claim
1. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer-accessible instructions that, in response to execution, cause at least one processor to perform operations for vehicular safety comprising:
- accessing, at a computing system having at least one processor, operational information indicative of performance of a vehicle;
accessing, at the computing system, behavioral information indicative of behavior of an operator of the vehicle;
generating, at the computing system, a condition metric representative of an emotional state of the operator based at least in part on at least a portion of the operational information and at least a portion of the behavioral information;
rendering, by the computing system, the condition metric at a predetermined exterior area of the vehicle;
determining, by the computing system, a travel time for a route between an origin and a destination;
providing a recommendation for the route based at least in part on the behavior of the operator, wherein the route is configured to render within substantially the travel time; and
adjusting the condition metric based on the recommendation.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and techniques are provided for assessment and management of an emotional state of a vehicle operator. Assessment of the emotional state of the vehicle can include accessing operational information indicative of performance of a vehicle, behavioral information indicative of behavior of an operator of the vehicle, and or wellness information indicative of a physical condition of the operator of the vehicle. In one aspect, these three types of information can be combined to generate a rich group set of data, metadata, and/or signaling that can be utilized or otherwise leveraged to generate a condition metric representative of the emotional state of the vehicle operator. Management of the emotional state can be customized to the specific context of the vehicle and/or the emotional state, and can be implemented proactively or reactively.

14. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer-accessible instructions that, in response to execution, cause at least one processor to perform operations for vehicular performance management comprising:
-
acquiring, at a computing system having at least one processor, a condition metric representative of an emotional state of an operator of a vehicle; determining, at the computing system, if the condition metric satisfies a vehicular safety hazard criterion; configuring, at the computing system, a vehicle component for a predetermined operation in response to ascertaining that the condition metric satisfies the vehicular safety hazard criterion, wherein the vehicle component includes one or more of a content rendering unit, an in-cabin ambient control unit, or an operation control unit; rendering, by the computing system, the condition metric at a predetermined exterior area of the vehicle; determining, by the computing system, a travel time for a route between an origin and a destination; providing a recommendation for the route based at least in part on the behavior of the operator, wherein the route is configured to render within substantially the travel time; and adjusting the condition metric based on the recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A system for vehicular safety, comprising:
-
at least one memory device having encoded thereon computer-accessible instructions; and at least one processor functionally coupled to the at least one memory device and configured, by the computer-accessible instructions, to access operational information indicative of performance of a vehicle; to access behavioral information indicative of behavior of an operator of the vehicle; to generate a condition metric representative of an emotional state of the operator based at least in part on at least a portion of the operational information and at least a portion of the behavioral information; to render the condition metric at a predetermined exterior area of the vehicle; to determine a travel time for a route between an origin and a destination; to provide a recommendation for the route based at least in part on the behavior of the operator, wherein the route is configured to render within substantially the travel time; and to adjust the condition metric based on the recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
