SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVELY COMMUNICATING NOTICES IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An indication system of a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more processors;
a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing;
an orientation module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, in response to receiving a notice about an occurrence of an event, determine a viewing orientation of a passenger in the vehicle according to at least one electronic input that indicates information about a physical position of the passenger within the vehicle, and wherein the event is an incident associated with the vehicle for which the passenger is to be informed,wherein the orientation module further includes instructions to select at least one alerting device from available communication devices in the vehicle according to the viewing orientation by determining which of the available communication devices correspond with the viewing orientation of the passenger; and
a notice module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to control the at least one alerting device to communicate the notice to the passenger about the occurrence of the event.

Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to adaptively communicating notices to passengers within a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes in response to receiving a notice about an occurrence of an event, determining a viewing orientation of a passenger in the vehicle according to at least one electronic input that indicates information about a physical position of the passenger within the vehicle. The event is an incident associated with the vehicle for which the passenger is to be informed. The method also includes selecting at least one alerting device from available communication devices in the vehicle according to the viewing orientation by determining which of the available communication devices correspond with the viewing orientation of the passenger. The method further includes controlling the at least one alerting device to communicate the notice to the passenger about the occurrence of the event.
