Abstract

This disclosure relates to a system to trigger presentation of in-vehicle content based on detected physical objects. The system may be coupled to a vehicle. The system may include one or more physical processors. The processor(s) may be configured to obtain output signals conveying detection information that facilitates detection and identification of physical objects near and/or within an interior of the vehicle. The processor(s) may be configured to identify the physical objects near or within the interior of the vehicle. The processor(s) may be configured to obtain usage information conveying recent and/or anticipated use of the physical objects. The processor(s) may be configured to control one or more vehicle components to provide content that is specific to the identity of the physical object and/or specific to the usage information.

Background

FIELD

This disclosure relates to systems and methods to trigger presentation of in-vehicle content.BACKGROUND

Modern vehicles include advanced systems for navigation and entertainment. For example, navigation systems may prompt a driver of required maneuvers utilizing advanced maps as well as voice-based interactions. Entertainment systems, including audio and visual systems, are a staple in most vehicles and can be found through a vehicle. For example, a video screen may be mounted to the backs of headrests and/or on purpose built entertainment systems.SUMMARY

This disclosure relates to systems and methods to trigger presentation of content in vehicles (“in-vehicle content”) based on detected physical objects. The content may include one or more of audio content, visual content, haptic content, and/or other content. The presented in-vehicle content may be specific to the identity of the detected physical objects and/or may be specific to information related to recent and/or anticipated use of the physical objects. The content may be presented using one or more vehicle components of a vehicle. The one or more vehicle components may include one or more of a display, an audio output device, a climate control system, and/or other components of the vehicle.

Vehicle technology is becoming more and more hands-off. Voice-based guidance is likely becoming the predominant form of communication with vehicles. One or more implementations of the systems and method

Claims

1. A system configured to trigger presentation of in-vehicle content based on detected physical objects, the system being coupled to a vehicle, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to: obtain output signals conveying detection information, the detection information facilitating detection and identification of physical objects near and/or within an interior of the vehicle; detect, based on the output signals, presence of one or more physical objects near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including detecting presence of a first physical object near and/or within the interior of the vehicle; identify, based on the output signals, the one or more physical objects detected as being present near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including identifying the first physical object; determine content that is specific to the identity of the one or more physical objects detected as being present near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including determining first content that is specific to the identity of the first physical object; and control one or more vehicle components coupled to the vehicle to provide the content that is specific to the identity of the one or more physical objects, including controlling a first vehicle component to provide the first content. | 9. A method to trigger presentation of in-vehicle content based on detected physical objects, the method comprising: obtaining output signals conveying detection information, the detection information facilitating detection and identification of physical objects near and/or within an interior of a vehicle; detecting, based on the output signals, presence of one or more physical objects near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including detecting presence of a first physical object near and/or within the interior of the vehicle; identifying, based on the output signals, the one or more physical objects detected as being present near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including identifying the first physical object; determining content that is specific to the identity of the one or more physical objects detected as being present near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including determining first content that is specific to the identity of the first physical object; and controlling one or more vehicle components coupled to the vehicle to provide the content that is specific to the identity of the one or more physical objects, including controlling a first vehicle component to provide the first content. | 17. A system configured to trigger in-vehicle experiences based on information associated with detected physical objects, the system being coupled to a vehicle, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to: obtain output signals conveying detection information, the detection information facilitating detection and identification of physical objects near and/or within an interior of a vehicle; detect, based on the output signals, presence of one or more physical objects near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including detecting presence of a first physical object; identify, based on the output signals, the one or more physical objects detected as being present near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including identifying the first physical object; obtain usage information, the usage information conveying recent and/or anticipated use of the one or more physical objects detected as being present near and/or within the interior of the vehicle, including obtaining first usage information conveying recent and/or anticipated use of the first physical object; determine content that is specific to the usage information, including determining first content that is specific to the first usage information; and control one or more vehicle components coupled to the vehicle to provide the content that is specific to the usage information, including controlling a first vehicle content to provide the first content.
