Abstract

A technique for providing advertisement information is disclosed. The technique includes, in part sending, from a device built into a vehicle, a first set of data to a server, the first set of data corresponding to measurements performed by one or more sensors, receiving a first set of elements from the server in response to the first set of data, presenting one or more elements from the first set of elements to a user of the vehicle on a display in the vehicle, and receiving at least one input corresponding to at least one selected element among the one or more elements.

Claims (45)

1. A method for providing information to a user of a vehicle, comprising:

receiving, by a device built into the vehicle, sensor data corresponding to measurements performed by one or more sensors of a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is wirelessly tethered to the device built into the vehicle via a local proximity network;

sending, by the device built into the vehicle, primary information associated with the sensor data to a server through a network;

receiving, by the device built into the vehicle, a first set of elements from the server in response to sending the primary information associated with the sensor data, the first set of elements configured for display on a display in the vehicle;

synchronizing, by the device built into the vehicle, a portion of the first set of elements with a second display of the mobile device via the local proximity network;

presenting, by the device built into the vehicle, one or more elements from the first set of elements on the display in the vehicle;

sending, by the device built into the vehicle, a portion of the first set of elements to the mobile device according to the synchronizing; and

receiving input, via the display in the vehicle or the second display of the mobile device, of a selection from among the one or more elements.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more data elements presented on the display in the vehicle each in an actionable link configured to direct a browser to a website.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection from among the one or more elements causes a browser to take at least one action.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one action comprises requesting additional information corresponding to the selected element.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one action comprises

requesting navigational information to a venue corresponding to an advertiser.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one action comprises a request to enter into a transaction or a potential transaction associated with the selected element.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting one or more elements from the first set of elements comprises:

sending the one or more elements to a second device associated with the user to be presented on a screen of the mobile device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection is received from an input device built into the vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection is received from the mobile device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display is built into the vehicle.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

synchronizing the display built into the vehicle with a second display of the mobile device.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting one or more elements from the first set of elements further comprises presenting an audio corresponding to the one or more elements.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the one or more sensors is disposed in the vehicle.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the one or more sensors is disposed in the mobile device.

15. An apparatus built into a vehicle for providing information to a user, the apparatus comprising:

a communications interface including a transmitter and receiver;

a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium comprising executable computer code; and

a processor,

wherein the executable computer code, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive sensor data corresponding to measurements performed by one or more sensors of a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is wirelessly tethered to the device built into the vehicle via a local proximity network;

transmit primary information associated with the sensor data to a server through a network;

receive a first set of elements from the server in response to sending the primary information associated with the sensor data, the first set of elements configured for display on a display in the vehicle;

synchronize a portion of the first set of elements with a second display of the mobile device via the local proximity network;

present one or more elements from the first set of elements on the display in the vehicle;

send a portion of the first set of elements to the mobile device according to the synchronizing; and

receive input, via the display in the vehicle or the second display of the mobile device, of a selection from among the one or more elements.

16. A non-transitory processor-readable medium for providing information to a user of a vehicle, comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause a processor to:

receive, by a device built into the vehicle, sensor data corresponding to measurements performed by one or more sensors of a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is wirelessly tethered to the device built into the vehicle via a local proximity network;

send, by the device built into the vehicle, primary information associated with the sensor data to a server through a network;

receive, by the device built into the vehicle, a first set of elements from the server in response to sending the primary information associated with the sensor data, the first set of elements configured for display on a display in the vehicle;

synchronizing, by the device built into the vehicle, a portion of the first set of elements with a second display of the mobile device via the local proximity network;

present, by the device built into the vehicle, one or more elements from the first set of elements on the display in the vehicle;

sending, by the device built into the vehicle, a portion of the first set of elements to the mobile device according to the synchronizing; and

receive input, via the display in the vehicle or the second display of the mobile device, of a selection from among the one or more elements.
