Abstract

Claims (34)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving sensor data from at least one of a vehicle and a mobile device, while an occupant is traveling in the vehicle;

determining a total amount of time that the occupant will be traveling in the vehicle based on a destination of the vehicle;

determining an action to take by the occupant to improve health of the occupant based on execution of an artificial intelligence (AI) model on the sensor data and the total amount of time that the occupant will be traveling in the vehicle; and

outputting a notification of the action to take via a display system within an interior of the vehicle,

wherein the sensor data comprises biometric data of the occupant received from a device worn by the occupant, and the action comprises one or more physical activities to be performed by the occupant while within the vehicle based on execution of the AI model on the biometric data of the occupant.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the outputting comprises waiting until the vehicle is temporarily stopped, and in response, outputting the notification of the action to take via the display system while the vehicle is temporarily stopped.

3 . The method of claim 1 , comprising capturing sensor data from the interior of the vehicle after the notification of the action to take is output via the display system, determining that the occupant has not performed the action based on the sensor data from the interior of the vehicle, and displaying an alert via the display system within the interior of the vehicle which reminds the occupant to perform the action.

4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising capturing additional sensor data from the occupant while the occupant is performing the action, determining one or more biometric measurements of the occupant from the additional sensor data, and displaying the one or more biometric measurements of the occupant via the display system.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises determining a sequence of actions to be performed by the occupant based on execution of the AI model, and outputting a sequence of notifications corresponding to the sequence of actions to be performed by the occupant, wherein the outputting comprises adding a buffer of time before between notifications in the sequence of notifications.

6 . The method of claim 1 , comprising identifying that the vehicle is currently moving, wherein the determining the action to take further comprises determining the action to take based on execution of the AI model on an indicator that the vehicle is currently moving.

7 . An apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

receive sensor data from at least one of a vehicle and a mobile device, while an occupant is traveling in the vehicle,

determine a total amount of time that the occupant will be traveling in the vehicle based on a destination of the vehicle,

determine an action to take by the occupant to improve health of the occupant based on execution of an artificial intelligence (AI) model on the sensor data and the total amount of time that the occupant will be traveling in the vehicle, and

output a notification of the action to take via a display system within an interior of the vehicle,

wherein the sensor data comprises biometric data of the occupant received from a device worn by the occupant, and the action comprises one or more physical activities to be performed by the occupant while within the vehicle based on execution of the AI model on the biometric data of the occupant.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to wait until the vehicle is temporarily stopped, and in response, output the notification of the action to take via the display system when the vehicle is temporarily stopped.

9 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to capture sensor data from the interior of the vehicle after the notification of the action to take is output via the display system, determine that the occupant has not performed the action based on the sensor data from the interior of the vehicle, and display an alert via the display system within the interior of the vehicle which reminds the occupant to perform the action.

10 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to capture additional sensor data from the occupant while the occupant is performing the action, determine one or more biometric measurements of the occupant from the additional sensor data, and display the one or more biometric measurements of the occupant via the display system.

11 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a sequence of actions to be performed by the occupant based on execution of the AI model, and output a sequence of notifications corresponding to the sequence of actions to be performed by the occupant, wherein the processor adds a buffer of time before between output of the notifications in the sequence of notifications.

12 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to identify that the vehicle is currently moving, and determine the action to take based on execution of the AI model on an indicator that the vehicle is currently moving.

13 . A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored therein which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

receiving sensor data from at least one of a vehicle and a mobile device, while an occupant is traveling in the vehicle;

determining a total amount of time that the occupant will be traveling in the vehicle based on a destination of the vehicle;

determining an action to take by the occupant to improve health of the occupant based on execution of an artificial intelligence (AI) model on the sensor data and the total amount of time that the occupant will be traveling in the vehicle; and

outputting a notification of the action to take via a display system within an interior of the vehicle,

wherein the sensor data comprises biometric data of the occupant received from a device worn by the occupant, and the action comprises one or more physical activities to be performed by the occupant while within the vehicle based on execution of the AI model on the biometric data of the occupant.

14 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the outputting comprises waiting until the vehicle is temporarily stopped, and in response, outputting the notification of the action to take via the display system while the vehicle is temporarily stopped.

15 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform capturing sensor data from the interior of the vehicle after the notification of the action to take is output via the display system, determining that the occupant has not performed the action based on the sensor data from the interior of the vehicle, and displaying an alert via the display system within the interior of the vehicle which reminds the occupant to perform the action.

16 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configure to perform capturing additional sensor data from the occupant while the occupant is performing the action, determining one or more biometric measurements of the occupant from the additional sensor data, and displaying the one or more biometric measurements of the occupant via the display system.

17 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the determining comprises determining a sequence of actions to be performed by the occupant based on execution of the AI model, and outputting a sequence of notifications corresponding to the sequence of actions to be performed by the occupant, wherein the outputting comprises adding a buffer of time before between notifications in the sequence of notifications.
