Customized vehicle body
View Patent ↗This invention relates to a system and method for customizing the appearance of a vehicle. Users can display customized designs, colors or promotional information on the vehicle for free or on a fee basis. The system also allows users to use a detection device to detect the colors or patterns of other objects and then display substantially the same color or pattern on the vehicle.
1. A method for displaying customized content on at least one vehicle having a surface, comprising:
a. Detecting the color of an object using a detector;
b. Determining color values related to the object;
c. Using the color values to create the content;
d. Executing a program by a control unit of the vehicle; and
e. Displaying the content based on the program executed by the control unit of the vehicle.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content also consists of at least one of the following: text data, image data, color data, video data, sound data or any combination thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the customized content is designed using a software program.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display consists of one of the following:

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is designed at least partially by a user of the vehicle.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein content is at least partially downloaded from the Internet.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying further comprises displaying the content on 40% or more of the vehicle surface.
8. A computer-readable medium encoding a computer program product, operable to cause a data processing system to perform operations comprising:
a. Detecting the color of an object using a detector;
b. Determining color values related to the object;
c. Using the color values to create the content; and
d. Executing a program by a control unit of the vehicle; and
e. Displaying the content on a surface of the vehicle based on the program executed by the control unit of the vehicle.
9. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations of the data processing system and the control unit of the vehicle are performed using any one of the following: a desktop PC, laptop PC, netbook, notebook, tablet PC, PDA, mobile telephone, Internet server, Intranet server and mobile device.
10. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations of the data processing system and the control unit of the vehicle are performed on the same device.
11. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the content also consists of at least one of the following: text data, image data, color data, video data, sound data or any combination thereof.
12. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the customized content is designed using a software program.
13. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the display consists of one of the following: Organic Light Emitting Diode/Device/Display (OLED), Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED), FOLED (Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode), PhOLED (Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diode, PLED (Polymer Light Emitting Diode, PMOLED (Passive Matrix OLED), POLED (Polymer Organic Light Emitting Diode), RCOLED (Resonant Color Organic Light Emitting Diode), SmOLED (Small Molecule Organic Light Emitting Diode, SOLED (Stacked Organic Light Emitting Diode), TOLED (Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode) and NOID (Neon Organic Iodine Diode).
14. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the content is designed at least partially by a user of the vehicle.
15. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein content is at least partially downloaded from the Internet.
16. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the step of displaying further comprises displaying the content on 40% or more of the vehicle surface.
17. A system for displaying customized content on at least one vehicle having a surface, comprising:
a. Detecting the color of an object using a detector;
b. Determining color values related to the object;
c. Using the color values to create the content;
d. Executing a program by a control unit of the vehicle; and
e. Displaying the content based on the program executed by the control unit of the vehicle.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the content consists of at least one of the following: text data, image data, color data, video data, sound data or any combination thereof.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the content is designed using a software program.
