Human imperceptible signals
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for initiating a response action based at least in part on a human imperceptible signal. An emitting device may emit a human imperceptible signal. The signal may be received by a receiving device. The receiving device may analyze the signal to obtain digital information contained therein. The receiving device may then initiate a response action based at least in part on the digital information. Further, the emitting device may dynamically modify the human imperceptible signal based on a change to a characteristic in an environment into which the human imperceptible signal is emitted.
1. A computer-implemented method for utilizing a human imperceptible signal, the method comprising:
detecting the human imperceptible signal, wherein the human imperceptible signal includes a hologram and a position of the hologram is dynamically modified based at least in part on a change to at least one characteristic in an environment into which the imperceptible signal is emitted, the at least one characteristic comprising a location of an object in the environment;
analyzing the human imperceptible signal to obtain digital information contained in the human imperceptible signal; and
initiating a response action based at least in part on the digital information.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the digital information is route guidance information specifying a path between a starting location and a destination location, and wherein initiating the response action comprises controlling navigation of an autonomous vehicle along the path.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the digital information comprises an indication of a boundary of a parking location, and wherein initiating the response action comprises providing the indication of the boundary of the parking location as input to an autonomous vehicle parking protocol.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the human imperceptible signal comprises receiving the human imperceptible signal from a mobile device.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the human imperceptible signal further includes at least one of an inaudible signal or a haptic signal.
6. A system for utilizing a human imperceptible signal, the system comprising:
at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; and
at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
detect the human imperceptible signal, wherein the human imperceptible signal includes a hologram and a position of the hologram is dynamically modified based at least in part on a change to at least one characteristic in an environment into which the imperceptible signal is emitted, the at least one characteristic comprising a location of an object in the environment;
analyze the human imperceptible signal to obtain digital information contained in the human imperceptible signal; and
initiate a response action based at least in part on the digital information.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the digital information is route guidance information specifying a path between a starting location and a destination location, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to initiate the response action by executing the computer-executable instructions to control navigation of an autonomous vehicle along the path.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the digital information comprises an indication of a boundary of a parking location, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to initiate the response action by executing the computer-executable instructions to provide the indication of the boundary of the parking location as input to an autonomous vehicle parking protocol.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to detect the human imperceptible signal by executing the computer-executable instructions to receive the human imperceptible signal from a mobile device.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the human imperceptible signal further includes at least one of an inaudible signal or a haptic signal.
11. A computer program product for utilizing a human imperceptible signal, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit, the storage medium storing instructions executable by the processing circuit to cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:
detecting the human imperceptible signal, wherein the human imperceptible signal includes a hologram and a position of the hologram is dynamically modified based at least in part on a change to at least one characteristic in an environment into which the imperceptible signal is emitted, the at least one characteristic comprising a location of an object in the environment;
analyzing the human imperceptible signal to obtain digital information contained in the human imperceptible signal; and
initiating a response action based at least in part on the digital information.
12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the digital information is route guidance information specifying a path between a starting location and a destination location, and wherein initiating the response action comprises controlling navigation of an autonomous vehicle along the path.
13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the digital information comprises an indication of a boundary of a parking location, and wherein initiating the response action comprises providing the indication of the boundary of the parking location as input to an autonomous vehicle parking protocol.
14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein detecting the human imperceptible signal comprises receiving the human imperceptible signal from a mobile device.
