Responding to in-vehicle environmental conditions
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle warning system to generate a warning based on environmental conditions sensed in a vehicle, the in-vehicle warning system comprising:
- a vehicle monitoring module to;
(i) determine whether an operator of the vehicle is present, (ii) determine whether a non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle, and (iii) determine whether environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy a reference condition threshold;
an emergency action module to transmit an alert notification message to a mobile computing device of the operator in response to;
(i) a determination that the environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy the reference condition threshold, (ii) a determination that the operator of the vehicle is not present, and (iii) a determination that the non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle, wherein the alert notification message comprises an image captured by a camera positioned inside of the vehicle or a video captured by the camera positioned inside of the vehicle; and
a system override controllable by the operator to prevent transmission of the alert notification message when activated, wherein the emergency action module is to transmit the alert notification message regardless of the activation of the system override in response to a determination that at least one environmental condition sensed within the vehicle is greater than an upper threshold.

Abstract
Technologies for generating a warning based on environmental conditions sensed in a vehicle include an in-vehicle warning system for determining whether an operator of the vehicle is present, determining whether a non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle, and determining whether environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy a reference condition threshold. Such technologies may also include performing an emergency action in response to determining that the environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy the reference condition threshold, determining that the operator of the vehicle is not present, and determining that the non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle.

15. One or more non-transitory machine readable media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that in response to being executed by an in-vehicle warning system, cause the in-vehicle warning system to:
-
determine whether an operator of the vehicle is present; determine whether a non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle; determine whether environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy a reference condition threshold; transmit an alert notification message to a mobile computing device of the operator in response to;
(i) a determination that the environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy the reference condition threshold, (ii) a determination that the operator of the vehicle is not present, and (iii) a determination that the non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle, wherein the alert notification message comprises an image captured by a camera positioned inside of the vehicle or a video captured by the camera positioned inside of the vehicle;determine whether a system override of the in-vehicle warning system is activated, wherein the system override prevents transmission of the alert notification message when activate; and transmit the alert notification message regardless of the activation of the system override in response to a determination that at least one environmental condition sensed within the vehicle is greater than an upper threshold. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method for generating a warning based on environmental conditions sensed in a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining, by an in-vehicle warning system of the vehicle, whether an operator of the vehicle is present; determining, by the in-vehicle warning system, whether a non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle; determining, by the in-vehicle warning system, whether environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy a reference condition threshold; capturing, by a camera positioned inside the vehicle, an image or video of an interior cabin of the vehicle; transmitting, by the in-vehicle warning system, an alert notification message to a mobile computing device of the operator in response to;
(i) determining that the environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy the reference condition threshold, (ii) determining that the operator of the vehicle is not present, and (iii) determining that the non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle, wherein the alert notification message comprises the image or video captured by the camera positioned inside of the vehicle;determining, by the in-vehicle warning system, whether a system override of the in-vehicle warning system is activated, wherein the system override prevents transmission of the alert notification message when activate; and ignoring, by the in-vehicle warning system, the activation of the system override in response to a determination that at least one environmental condition sensed within the vehicle is greater than an upper threshold. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
