Integration of vehicle boundary alert system with external transaction equipment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle boundary alert system for a vehicle comprising:
- one or more boundary alert sensors including at least one non-camera sensor and a plurality of cameras, each of the cameras associated one of a plurality of detection zones;
a display disposed in the vehicle; and
a controller programmed to, in response to establishing communication with an external transaction system to perform a transaction, (i) activate the boundary alert system to monitor the at least one non-camera sensor for potential threats proximate the vehicle and (ii) cause the display to show screen data received from the external transaction system in a first display zone to facilitate the transaction, and, responsive to signals from the at least one non-camera sensor being indicative of a potential threat in one of the detection zones, change the display to show a video stream from one of the cameras associated with the one of the detection zones in a second display zone.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a boundary alert system. The boundary alert system includes at least one camera and a controller. The controller is programmed to activate the boundary alert system when the vehicle is in proximity to an external transaction system. The controller further outputs boundary alert system data for display on a screen. The screen also displays transaction data for the external transaction system.

10. A vehicle comprising:
-
one or more boundary alert sensors including at least one non-camera sensor and a plurality of cameras for monitoring a plurality of detection zones; and a controller programmed to output screen data received from an external transaction system to a display device and, in response to signals from the at least one non-camera sensor being indicative of a potential threat in one of the detection zones while communicating with the external transaction system to perform a transaction, cause the display device to show a video stream from one of the cameras associated with the one of the detection zones. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
activating, by a controller, a boundary alert system of a vehicle in response to the vehicle being proximate an external transaction system; and outputting, by the controller, a video stream from an on-board camera and data indicative of a presence and a position of a potential threat identified by the boundary alert system to a display unit for display on a screen with a transaction interface from the external transaction system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
