It’s hard to do anything today without being delimited by the ads. You can not broadcast videos of many sources without ads, you can not surf the internet without advertising, and you can not drive on the road without displaying display panels and other types of advertisements. A patent has been published which was published on May 6, 2021, called “display panel interfaces for vehicle screens”.
The patent was filed by Ford Motor Company in December 2016. The patent describes a method and an apparatus for a display panel interface inside a vehicle. Essentially, it serves ads on the Infotainment System screen. According to the patent, an example of a method of generating a vehicle display panel interface includes obtaining a camera an image of a display panel and to identify a segment of this image via a processor .
Ford’s patent can determine an event associated with the image segment and generate a display interface inside the vehicle to include a hyperlink of the segment that initiates the event. Essentially, it seems to indicate a way that you drive on the road that the camera could recognize a display panel, identify a product and offer a page on the infotainment system with a hyperlink that you can press to buy The product or learn more about it.
The art of the patent deposit line, which can be seen above, indicates that the system can recognize a display panel for a local restaurant and generate a page inside the car. The page has a phone number that can be composed by pressing a link or navigation information can be served according to the address by pressing the link.
The system could be useful and welcome if it only works when the user wants more information about a display panel they see on the side of the road. However, it could be very intrusive if the system automatically generates this information on the screen of each display panel that you pass by driving.
