Onboard vehicle notification system
First Claim
1. An onboard vehicle apparatus installed on a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more camera devices;
an antenna device;
an output device; and
a processor device configured to;
receive input from the one or more camera devices, the input related to a target vehicle other than a vehicle in which the onboard vehicle apparatus is installed;
determine, by the onboard vehicle apparatus based at least in part on the input related to the target vehicle, a vehicle identifier associated with the target vehicle;
provide, via the antenna device, the vehicle identifier to a service provider computer;
receive, in response to providing the vehicle identifier to the service provider computer, a recommendation associated with the target vehicle, wherein the service provider identifies at least one anomalous behavior exhibited in the past by the target vehicle and generates the recommendation associated with the target vehicle to mitigate a risk to the vehicle in which the onboard apparatus is installed based on a reoccurrence of the identified at least one anomalous behavior exhibited in the past by the target vehicle, wherein the recommendation includes an action to be performed by a driver of the vehicle in which the onboard apparatus is installed determined based on a type of the risk to the vehicle in which the onboard apparatus is installed; and
provide, via the output device of the onboard vehicle apparatus, the recommendation associated with the target vehicle provided by the service provider computer.

Abstract
Described herein is an onboard vehicle system configured to capture vehicle information and notify an operator of the onboard vehicle system of potentially dangerous vehicles. In some embodiments, the onboard vehicle system may capture image information related to its surroundings. The image information may be processed to identify one or more vehicle identifiers associated with vehicles in the vicinity of the onboard system. The onboard system may provide vehicle identifiers to a service provider computer, which may subsequently query one or more driver behavior databases for anomalous behavior related to the vehicle identifiers. Upon detecting anomalous behavior for a target vehicle, the service provider computer may generate one or more notifications to be presented to the operator of the onboard system with regard to the target vehicle. In some embodiments, the onboard system may present the notification to the operator in an audio and/or visual format.

7. A method of notifying an operator of a vehicle of potential risks comprising:
-
receiving, at a service provider computer from one or more camera devices installed on the vehicle, input related to a target vehicle, the target vehicle being a separate entity from the vehicle; determining, by the service provider computer based at least in part on the input related to the target vehicle, an identifier for the target vehicle; determining, by the service provider computer based at least in part on the determined identifier for the target vehicle, at least one past anomalous behavior associated with the target vehicle; determining, by the service provider computer, a risk information associated with the target vehicle based at least in part on the at least one past anomalous behavior; generate, by the service provider computer, a notification regarding the risk information associated with the target vehicle that includes a recommendation specific to the target vehicle, wherein the recommendation includes an action to be performed by an operator of the vehicle based on a type of the risk associated with the at least one past anomalous behavior; and provide, by the service provider computer, instructions to an onboard vehicle system installed in the vehicle to cause the onboard vehicle system to relay to the operator the notification regarding the risk information associated with the target vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A remote server, comprising:
-
a processor device; and a memory including instructions that, when executed with the processor device, cause the system to, at least; receive an indication of a location associated with an onboard system with which the remote server is in wireless communication; identify, based at least in part on the received indication, at least one target vehicle within a vicinity of the onboard system, the at least one target vehicle being one in which the onboard system is not installed; determine one or more past anomalous behaviors associated with the at least one target vehicle; determine, based at least in part on the one or more behaviors associated with the target vehicle, a risk type associated with the target vehicle; generate, based at least in part on the risk type associated with the target vehicle, a recommendation including instructions to an operator of the onboard system to mitigate to perform one or more actions based on the risk type associated with the target vehicle, the one or more actions determined to prevent danger to the operator based on a reoccurrence of the one or more past anomalous behaviors by the target vehicle; and provide a notification that includes the generated recommendation to the onboard system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
