Abstract

A system, for implementation at a vehicle of transportation, having multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific acoustic equipment in the vehicle. Each arrangement is positioned at a respective occupant-specific acoustic zone of the vehicle. Each arrangement is configured to communicate with a hardware-based processing unit that, when executing code of a hardware-based storage device in operation of the system, interacts, via the arrangement, primarily only with a vehicle occupant occupying a corresponding occupant-specific acoustic zone. In some implementations, along with or instead of the acoustic equipment, the system includes multiple arrangements of occupant-zone-specific acoustic equipment in the vehicle. In various embodiments, based on identification of occupants at respective vehicle zones in operation of the vehicle, operations are performed, such as provision of media, vehicle-occupant conversation, and customized HVAC delivery.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to systems for interacting with vehicle occupants, and more particularly, in various embodiments, to systems for acoustically interacting with each occupant of a vehicle individually. Background technique [0002] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0003] For ride-sharing, transportation vehicles are relatively close together. Space boundaries are not an issue since each occupant has its own seat. [0004] However, within the vehicle interior, conventional vehicles do not provide any sound boundaries or barriers. When the radio is turned on, the sound is typically fed throughout the interior or cabin, and occupants must agree to what is provided, or some occupants must live with what they would prefer not to hear. When a driver alert is provided from a vehicle system, it is likewise delivered so that it can be readily perceived ...
