Patent Images
1. A system for automatically presenting a vehicle user with social media updates, the system comprising:
- a user identification subsystem configured to detect a user and determine the user'"'"'s identity;
a user location subsystem configured to determine a user location inside the vehicle;
a control subsystem configured to;
access a user profile associated with the determined user'"'"'s identity, and containing login information for at least one social networking service based on the user'"'"'s identity;
transmit the login information to the at least one social networking service;
retrieve social media content from the at least one social networking service based on the login information;
identify a vehicle window proximate to the user location; and
an interactive display subsystem configured to display, on the identified vehicle window, the social media content retrieved by the control subsystem, the displayed social media content oriented to be read from the user location inside the vehicle.

Abstract
In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a system and a related non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing operations incorporating social networking functions into a vehicle. The system can include a user identification subsystem that is configured to detect and identify a user. The system can also include an interactive display subsystem that is configured to generate output for display on a vehicle window. The displayed output generally includes social networking content. The social networking content can include “upload content,” “download content,” or both.

7. A system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a user identification subsystem configured to identify a first user and a second user; a user location subsystem configured to determine a location of the first user and of the second user; an interactive display subsystem configured to show a first display content on a first vehicle window and to show a second display content on a second vehicle window; and a control subsystem in communication with the user identification subsystem, the user location subsystem and the interactive display subsystem, wherein the system is configured to login to at least one social networking service account for each of the first user and the second user;
to receive a first download content for the first user from the at least one social networking service and to receive second download content for the second user from the at least one social networking service; and
wherein the first display content is derived from the first download content if the first user is located nearer the first window than the second window and the first display content is derived from the second download content if the first user is located nearer the second vehicle window than the first vehicle window.
