Abstract

A SIPV system comprising: a SIPV network connecting to at least a SIPV that is available for rental where an integrated safety control apparatus is operably connected to a safety device mounted on the SIPV and upon rental of the SIPV, the safety device is deployed for use from the SIPV.

Claims (30)

1 . A SIPV system comprising: a SIPV network connecting to at least a SIPV;

the SIPV made available for rental;

the SIPV comprising an integrated safety control apparatus in the SIPV;

the integrated safety control apparatus operably connected to a safety device mounted on the SIPV; and

upon rental of the SIPV, the safety device is deployed for use from the SIPV.

2 . The SIPV system of claim 1 wherein the safety device is operably connected to the SIPV while the SIPV is being used.

3 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising a safety linkage between the SIPV power source and a presence on the seat sensor wherein the SIPV doesn't receive power until the seat sensor indicates a rider in place.

4 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising a safety linkage between the safety device and the SIPV braking control wherein the SIPV receives a confirmation of a safety device is in use in order to power the SIPV.

5 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising the SIPV system that polls a sensor suite available on the SIPV to measure safety conditions of the ride.

6 . The SIPV system of claim 5 wherein the sensor suite measures a plurality of sensors data parameters of the in use SIPV as selected from a group of safety data parameters (SIPV tire pressure, SIPV seat occupancy, SIPV safety device worn, SIPV safety device missing, SIPV speedometer readings, SIPV accelerometer readings, SIPV GPS location, SIPV camera image capture, SIPV video streamed, SIPV bump detection, SIPV pitch/roll/yaw orientation, SIPV current power source status, SIPV drive apparatus status, SIPV rental status).

7 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising the SIPV system use of a communication link to issue a safety alert to an in-use SIPV if a safety data parameter is outside a safety limit.

8 . The SIPV system of claim 7 further comprising the SIPV use of a communication link to disable an in-use SIPV if the safety alert is ignored.

9 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising the SIPV generates a request to return the safety device at the end of the SIPV rental back to its mount on SIPV.

10 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising the SIPV generates a request to a display to remove a used liner prior to return of the safety device.

11 . The SIPV system of claim 1 further comprising the SIPV system validates the return of the safety device prior to the final charge associated with the rental of the SIPV.

12 . The SIPV system of claim 8 further comprising the removable safety device is a helmet operably connected to the SIPV to report helmet status.

13 . The SIPV system of claim 8 further comprising the helmet that is sanitized by removal of a liner in the helmet.

14 . A shared ride method comprising:

a SIPV system having a SIPV rental process;

receiving the SIPV rental request from a mobile device;

authenticating a transaction allowing a rental of the SIPV;

deploying a safety device from the SIPV along with the rental of the SIPV; and

requiring a rider to use the safety device before allowing movement of the SIPV.

15 . The shared ride method of claim 14 further comprising a sensor linking the safety device reporting the charge condition of the SIPV power source.

16 . The shared ride method of claim 14 further comprising linking to the SIPV network to report a set of ride data parameters corresponding to the safe use of the SIPV.

17 . The shared ride method of claim 14 further comprising measuring safe usage by polling a sensor suite on the SIPV; and monitoring the set of data received by the sensor suite.

18 . The shared ride method of claim 17 , further comprising the SIPV safety controller directing the SIPV physical control suite to physically control the SIPV to a safer operating condition.

19 . The shared ride method of claim 14 further comprising transmitting SIPV power source charge status to the SIPV network for initiating a maintenance call.

20 . The shared ride method of claim 14 wherein the SIPV is requesting the return of the safety device at the end of the SIPV rental.

21 . The shared ride method of claim 20 wherein the SIPV is requesting the sanitation of the safety device by removing a removable liner in the safety device.
