Abstract

A system for representing a set of operating states of a vehicle to a user of the vehicle includes a vehicle having a vehicle operating state, and a digital twin receiving vehicle parameter data from one or more inputs to determine the vehicle operating state. An interface for the digital twin presents the vehicle operating state to the user of the vehicle. An identity management system manages a set of identities and roles of the vehicle user and determines capabilities to view, modify, and configure the digital twin based on parsing of the set of identities and roles.

Claims (25)

1. A system for representing a set of operating states of a vehicle to a user of the vehicle comprising:

a vehicle having a vehicle operating state;

a digital twin receiving vehicle parameter data from one or more inputs to determine the vehicle operating state;

an interface for the digital twin to present the vehicle operating state to the user of the vehicle; and

an identity management system managing a set of identities and roles of the user of the vehicle and determining capabilities to view, modify, and configure the digital twin based on parsing of the set of identities and roles, wherein the interface for the digital twin is configured to resolve conflicting outcomes between at least the user and an other user of the vehicle in their adjustment of the presentation of the vehicle operating state based on the set of identities and roles of at least one of the user or the other user managed by the identity management system.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle operating state is a vehicle maintenance state.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle operating state is a vehicle energy utilization state.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle operating state is a vehicle navigation state.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle operating state is a vehicle component state.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle operating state is a vehicle driver state.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein inputs for the digital twin include at least one of an on-board diagnostic system, a telemetry system, a vehicle-located sensor, or a system external to the vehicle.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the digital twin system is populated via an API from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides 5G connectivity to a system external to the vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the digital twin system is populated via an API from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides internal 5G connectivity to a set of sensors and data sources of the vehicle.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the digital twin system is populated via an API from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides 5G connectivity to an onboard artificial intelligence system.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the digital twin system is automatically configured by an artificial intelligence system based on a training set of usage activity by a set of digital twin users.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein the digital twin system is automatically configured by an artificial intelligence system based on a training set of usage activity by a driver user.

13. The system of claim 10 wherein the digital twin system is automatically configured by an artificial intelligence system based on a training set of usage activity by a rider user.

14. The system of claim 1 further comprising a first neural network to detect a detected satisfaction state of a rider user occupying the vehicle through analysis of data gathered from sensors deployed in the vehicle for gathering physiological conditions of the rider user; and a second neural network to optimize, for achieving a favorable satisfaction state of the rider user, an operational parameter of the vehicle in response to the detected satisfaction state of the rider user.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the detected satisfaction state of the rider user is a detected emotional state of the rider user, and wherein the favorable satisfaction state of the rider user is a favorable emotional state of the rider user.

16. The system of claim 14 wherein the first neural network is a recurrent neural network and the second neural network is a radial basis function neural network.

17. The system of claim 14 wherein at least one of the neural networks is a hybrid neural network and includes a convolutional neural network.

18. The system of claim 14 wherein the second neural network optimizes the operational parameter based on a correlation between a vehicle operating state and a rider satisfaction state of the rider user.

19. The system of claim 14 wherein the second neural network optimizes the operational parameter in real time responsive to the detecting of the detected satisfaction state of the rider user by the first neural network.

20. The system of claim 14 wherein the first neural network comprises a plurality of connected nodes that form a directed cycle, the first neural network further facilitating bi-directional flow of data among the connected nodes.

21. The system of claim 14 wherein the operational parameter that is optimized affects at least one of: a route of the vehicle, in-vehicle audio contents, a speed of the vehicle, an acceleration of the vehicle, a deceleration of the vehicle, a proximity to objects along the route, or a proximity to other vehicles along the route.
