Description

TITLE OF INVENTION:METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING CONTENT ON A VEHICLE DISPLAY TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to a vehicle display systems and methods, and more particularly, but not exclusively to methods and systems for displaying multimedia content on a vehicle display of a vehicle in accordance with one or more preferred events by a user of the vehicle.BACKGROUND

[0002] The vehicle infotainment or instrument cluster systems have direct implications on user engagement, convenience, and safety. These systems are designed and integrated into a vehicle to display information such as date, time, vehicle state (speed, fuel levels, etc.), and entertainment options. These systems tend to rely on vehicle related parameters to display one or more vehicle-based and vehicle-related information. Over time, the displayed information becomes predictable and disengaging, leading users to neglect the display entirely, which in turn affects its effectiveness. General information such as time and date are displayed but may not be relevant for the users. Some vehicles do display the state of the vehicles, but this information does not change much and thus do not bring in much freshness, and thus the users may not show interest in such displayed information.

[0003] In the conventional vehicle systems, the infotainment and instrument clusters are designed to show core information in a standardized format, often without considering dynamic personalization. The displayed content remains static or is minimally adjusted, offering more like a uniform or similar experience every time a user engages or disengages with a vehicle, which may fail to capture the user’s attention and interest over time. The inability to regularly update the content with relevant and personalized data reduces the user’s interaction and makes the overall interface monotonous, results in a static, less engaging interfaces, making the infotainment and instrument cluster systems feel obsolete and underwhelming forthe user. Overall, these technical limitations emphasize the need for a more cohesive, dynamic, and personalized approach for displaying content on a vehicle display of a vehicle. There is a need to incorporate greater flexibility in content presentation, adapt to different user profiles, and enhance user engagement while maintaining convenience and safety. Thus, there is a need in the art for a solution which addresses at least the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.

[0004] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.SUMMARY

Further areas of applicability of the disclosure will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. The detailed description of exemplary embodiments is intended for illustration purposes only and is, therefore, not intended to necessarily limit the scope of the disclosure.DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present disclosure may be best understood with reference to the detailed figures and description set forth herein. Various embodiments are discussed below with reference to the figures. However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the detailed descriptions given herein with respect to the figures are simply for explanatory purposes as the systems and the methods may extend beyond the described embodiments. For example, the teachings presented, and the needs of a particular application may yield multiple alternative and suitable approaches to implement the functionality of any detail described herein. Therefore, any approach may extend beyond the particular implementation choices in the following embodiments described and shown.

[0022] While various embodiments of the present disclosure are discussed in detail below, it should be appreciated that the present disclosure provides many applicable inventive concepts that can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed herein are merely illustrative of specific ways to make and use the invention and do not delimit the scope of the invention. Further, to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, a number of terms are defined below. Terms defined herein have meanings as commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the areas relevant to the present invention. The terminology herein is used to describe specific embodiments of the invention, but their usage does not limit the invention, except as outlined in the claims. Further, various systems and methods are described below to provide one or more examples of each claimed embodiment. They do not limit any claimed embodiment. Anyclaimed embodiment may cover systems and methods that are different from those described above and below. The drawings and descriptions are for illustrative, rather than restrictive, purposes.

[0023] In the context of the present invention, the term “coupled to” or “coupled with” is used to describe various types of connections or relationships between components. The term “coupled to” or “coupled with” is used to describe a connection or relationship between two or more components, which can be in various contexts such as electrical, mechanical, operational, or communicative. For example, “electrically coupled” refers to a connection where electrical signals or power are transferred between components, such as a wire connecting a power source to a circuit. “Mechanically coupled” indicates a physical connection that allows mechanical forces or motion to be transmitted, like gears in a gearbox. “Operationally coupled” means that the components interact in a way that their operations are interdependent or coordinated, such as a sensor and a control system working together. “Communicatively coupled” refers to a connection that enables the exchange of data or information, such as a wireless link between a smartphone and a computer. These terms help to clearly define the nature of the interactions and dependencies between different parts of the invention. In the present disclosure, the term “coupled to” or “coupled with” is being used to describe various types of connections or relationships between components. However, this term “coupled to” or “coupled with” should not be construed as limiting to the scope of the present invention. The use of “coupled to” or “coupled with” encompasses one or more forms of connections, whether direct or indirect, and includes but is not limited to electrical, mechanical, operational, or communicative couplings, or any combination thereof. Further, the term “coupled to” or “coupled with” can be interchangeably used with “connected to” or “connected with” and should be understood to encompass all forms of connections, whether direct or indirect, including but not limited to electrical, mechanical, operational, and communicative couplings.

[0024] References to “one embodiment,” “at least one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “one example,” “an example,” “for example,” and so on indicate that the embodiment(s) or example(s) may include a particular feature, structure,characteristic, property, element, or limitation but that not every embodiment or example necessarily includes that particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element, or limitation. Further, repeated use of the phrase “in an embodiment” does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. The terms “including”, “comprising”, “having” and variations thereof mean “including but not limited to”, unless expressly specified otherwise. The terms “a”, “an” and “the” mean “one or more”, unless expressly specified otherwise. The term “or combinations thereof’ as used herein refers to all permutations and combinations of the listed items preceding the term. For example, “A, B, C, or combinations thereof’ is intended to include at least one of: A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, or ABC, and if order is important in a particular context, also BA, CA, CB, CBA, BCA, ACB, BAC, or CAB. Continuing with this example, expressly included are combinations that contain repeats of one or more item or term, such as BB, AAA, AB, BBC, AAABCCCC, CBBAAA, CABABB, and so forth. The skilled artisan will understand that typically there is no limit on the number of items or terms in any combination, unless otherwise apparent from the context.

[0025] The present subject matter has been disclosed herein with one or more systems and methods. Each system is structured as a hierarchical composition, where a primary entity encompasses several integral components that collectively define its full capabilities. However, the system may also be designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for meaningful operation or analysis based on a subset of these components. In certain contexts, a reduced configuration, for example, comprising only a select few core elements may represent a valid and functional instance of the system. This dual-level abstraction supports both comprehensive and minimal representations, enabling the system to adapt to varying requirements without compromising coherence. Such a model promotes scalability, modularity, and contextual relevance, making it suitable for dynamic environments where different levels of detail or functionality may be required. Similarly, a method flowchart represents a structured sequence of actions or decisions designed to achieve a specific outcome. While the flowchart may illustrate a comprehensive set of steps, it is inherently modular and adaptable. Depending on the context, objective, or input conditions, only a subset of these steps may be necessary to complete theprocess effectively. This conditional execution allows the method to remain efficient and relevant across varying scenarios, without enforcing unnecessary operations. By supporting optional and context-driven pathways, the flowchart embodies a flexible logic framework, which is capable of scaling from minimal to full execution, while maintaining clarity, coherence, and purpose throughout the process.

[0026] The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with different embodiments. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather those embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0027] An objective of the present subject matter is to enable a user to feel freshness and surprise at every boarding time, thereby improving the added value of an on-vehicle electronic equipment (e.g., an instrument cluster, infotainment device, etc.) of a vehicle. This is achieved by identifying one or more events associated with a current timestamp (i.e., a current date), selecting a multimedia content from a database of multimedia content based on the identified events, and displaying the selected multimedia content on the on-vehicle electronic equipment of the vehicle. For example, when a user turns ON ignition of a vehicle, and if the current date matches with an anniversary date, then a multimedia content indicating or reflecting anniversary wishes to the user may be displayed or played on the on-vehicle electronic equipment of the vehicle. This may enable the user to feel fresh, surprise, and happy at every boarding time, improve the added value of the on-vehicle electronic equipment. Further, when the user feels fresh and happy, it may ensure safety of the vehicle operation.

[0028] Another objective of the present subject matter is to enable a user to provide one or more events for availing personalized services. To achieve this, the present subject matter discloses an electronic device such as a smartphone of the user or an on-vehicle electronic equipment (e.g., an instrument cluster, infotainment device, etc.) of a vehicle. The electronic device or the on-vehicle electronic equipment may include a mobile application running on it. The mobile application may enable the user to configure one or more preferred events and the associated timestamp (i.e.,the date). This data including the one or more events and the associated dates are stored in a memory, which may be retrieved and processed in real-time for displaying relevant multimedia content on the on-vehicle electronic equipment. For example, the on-vehicle electronic equipment may display image / information of the one or more events based on a given date (selection of dates on which the images are to be displayed) where date updating can be done either through the smartphone or the on-vehicle electronic equipment.

[0029] The present subject matter, by virtue of the disclosed systems and methods, enhances user engagement of the on-vehicle electronic equipment of the vehicle. The present subject matter further aims to provide an interactive display system that frequently updates content based on real-time data and user preferences. The present subject matter further offers a personalized experience tailored to a user of the vehicle. The present subject matter further aims to reduce monotony by providing varied and context-sensitive content. The present subject matter further provides a mechanism for displaying other alerts, which may be sent over OTA (over-the-air) or from other network connected devices. The present subject matter further provides enhanced aesthetics and comfort when compared to already conventional solutions.

[0030] Various embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiments. The present subject matter is further described with reference to accompanying figures. It should be noted that the description and figures merely illustrate principles of the present subject matter. Various arrangements may be devised that, although not explicitly described or shown herein, encompass the principles of the present subject matter. Moreover, all statements herein reciting principles, aspects, and examples of the present subject matter, as well as specific examples thereof, are intended to encompass equivalents thereof.

[0031] Figure 1 is a diagram that illustrates a system (100) to display a multimedia content on a display device (106) of a vehicle (104), in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the embodimentsillustrated herein, the system (100) comprises an electronic device (102), the vehicle (104), and the remote server (112), which are coupled with each other via one or more communication networks such as a network (114).

[0032] The electronic device (102) refers to a user digital device. The user digital device is a computing device commonly carried or used by a user (e.g., a vehicle occupant or operator). For example, the user digital device may correspond to a smartphone, a tablet computer, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or smart glasses), or a dedicated portable media player. The electronic device (102) may connect with the vehicle (104) either wirelessly or through a wired connection to receive data from the vehicle (104), display content (e.g., vehicle’s status, navigation information, entertainment, etc.), and potentially send commands or preferences to the vehicle (104) or the remote server (112). In some embodiments, the electronic device (102) may be a service tool. The service tool may refer to a specialized electronic device used by an administrator, a maintenance personnel, or a technician. The service tool may be designed to interface with the internal diagnostic and control systems of the vehicle (104), often through a dedicated diagnostic port. When the electronic device (102) is a service tool, the communication protocols would facilitate the exchange of diagnostic information, system parameters, fault codes, and allow for the configuration, calibration, or updates. The service tool may be used, for example, to configure display layouts, configure and update content libraries, configure and update events and their related timestamps, or diagnose issues with the communication link or display hardware.

[0033] The electronic device (102) may include suitable logic, circuitry, interfaces, and / or code that may be configured to execute or perform one or more operations. The electronic device (102) may include a processor (102a), a memory unit (110), and a mobile application (102c). The processor (102a) serves as the central processing unit of the electronic device (102). The processor (102a) includes constitutions, which have predetermined functions, integrated on a semiconductor chip by SoC (System on a Chip) and is called, for example, system LSI (Large Scale Integration) or the like. The constitutions having the predetermined functions may be logic circuits (hardware constitutions), may be a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and so forth and a program executed using them (software configuration) or may be acombination of both of them. For example, the processor (102a) may include a logic circuit and a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and so forth such that part of functions are implemented by the logic circuit (hardware constitution) and other functions are implemented by a program (software configuration) executed by the CPU.

[0034] The processor (102a) is configured to execute instructions and perform the one or more operations. The processor (102a) runs an operating system of the electronic device (102) and executes the code of the mobile application (102c). The processor (102a) processes the data received from the vehicle (104) or the remote server (112), handles communication protocols, manages user interfaces, and performs any data manipulation or formatting required before content it is displayed or transmitted.

[0035] The memory unit (110) associated with the electronic device (102) is coupled with the processor (102a) and provides storage for data, logic, and executable instructions. The memory unit (110) may include various types of storage, such as volatile memory (e.g., RAM) used for temporary data storage and active program execution, and non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory, internal solid-state storage) used for persistent storage of, for example, the operating system, installed applications, user data, user preferences, event data, event timestamps, and stored content.

[0036] The mobile application (102c) refers to a software program configured to execute on the electronic device (102). The mobile application (102c) is stored in the memory unit (110) and is executable by the processor (102a). Upon execution, the mobile application (102c) may be adapted to facilitate user interaction through one or more user interfaces rendered on a display (not shown) of the electronic device (102). Upon initiation, the mobile application (102c) may be configured to generate and present the one or more user interfaces to the user. Each user interface (e.g., a graphical user interface) may include one or more interactive elements such as buttons, sliders, drop-down menus, text input fields, or any combination thereof. These interactive elements may be configured to receive one or more inputs from the user, which may include selections, entries, updates, or other forms of engagement indicative of the user’s preferences, choices, or settings associated withthe vehicle’s operation and the content display on the vehicle’s display such as an instrument cluster, an infotainment device, etc.

[0037] In some embodiments, the mobile application (102c) may be configured to process the received inputs in accordance with predefined rules or logic stored in the memory unit (110), and optionally store the input data or processed data locally in the memory unit (110) or transmit it to the memory unit (110) of the vehicle (104) or the remote server (112) via the network (114). In some embodiments, the mobile application (102c) may be configured to operate in online or offline modes, and may include security features such as user authentication, encrypted data transmission, and permission-based access control to ensure privacy and secure handling of the user inputs.

[0038] The vehicle (104) may include a single-track or a multi-track vehicle (104). The single-track vehicle (104) may include a two-wheeled motorcycle or scooter, which may balance along a single line while in motion and typically leans during turns. The multi -track vehicle (104) may include a wider stance that provides inherent stability without the need for leaning in the same manner as the single-track vehicle (104). Further, the vehicle’s propulsion system may include an internal combustion engine, which generates power through the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel. Alternatively, the vehicle (104) may be propelled by an electric motor, driven by electrical energy stored in a battery or other energy storage means. Furthermore, the form factor of the vehicle (104) may be that of a saddle type vehicle. The saddle type vehicle (104) is one where the operator is positioned in a straddling manner over a seat. This configuration is typical for motorcycles, scooters, and some types of three-wheeled vehicles.

[0039] In an embodiment, the vehicle (104) is communicatively coupled with the electronic device (102) and the remote server (112) and thus may be in communication with the electronic device (102) and the remote server (112) via the one or more communication networks such as the network (114) through one or more communication protocols. The selection of protocol(s) is not intended to be limiting and may include any suitable wired or wireless standard or proprietary protocol capable of transmitting data between the vehicle (104) and the electronicdevice (102) and the remote server (112). Such protocols may include, but are not limited to, automotive communication protocols like CAN (Controller Area Network), LIN (Local Interconnect Network), or Ethernet, as well as consumer electronics protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (e.g., based on IEEE 802.11 standards), USB, or other near-field or long-range communication methods.

[0040] In an embodiment, the vehicle (104) may be equipped with several integral components that are configured to perform and execute one or more operations of the content displaying method. The vehicle (104) comprises one or more components such as a control unit (108), a display device (106), and a memory unit (110), which may be coupled with each other.

In an exemplary embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to perform a check to determine whether a portion of the current timestamp matches with at least a portion of an event timestamp. The event timestamp may correspond to a timestamp stored in the memory unit (110) and may be associated with one or more events, defined and updated by the user of the vehicle (104). In some cases, the one or more events may be defined, updated, and tagged with the respective timestamp by the remote server (112) or a service administrator. In an exemplary embodiment, the controlunit (108) may be configured to determine the one or more events associated with the current timestamp based on the determined matching. In an exemplary embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to select a multimedia content from a database of multimedia content stored in the memory unit (110). The multimedia content may be selected based on the determined events. The selected multimedia content may indicate at least a theme associated with the determined events. In an exemplary embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to display the multimedia content associated with the determined events on the display device (106) of the vehicle (104). The displayed multimedia content is at least one of a text, an image, an audio, a video, or an animated content, or any combination thereof. Further, the multimedia content may be displayed on the display device (106) for a preset time duration and for a preset occurrence of changes in the ignition state of the vehicle (104).

[0042] The display device (106) is an electronic interface that provides the user with real-time information about the vehicle’s status, performance, and environment.

In an exemplary embodiment, the memory unit (110) may be configured to store the database of multimedia content in one or more forms such as a text-based, an audio-based, a video-based, a graphicsbased, or any combination thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the memory unit (110) may be configured to receive and store real-time inputs or instructions from the electronic device (102), the display device (106) of the vehicle (104), or the remote server (112).

[0044] In an embodiment, the content displaying system (100) also involves interaction with the remote server (112), the electronic device (102), and the vehicle (104). The interaction is facilitated through the network (114). The network (114) serves as a communication channel connecting the remote server (112), the electronic device (102), and the vehicle (104). This network (114) may be any suitable communication infrastructure or combination of infrastructures capable of transmitting data between these entities. In an exemplary embodiment, the network (114) may include, but are not limited to, the Internet, cellular networks (e.g., 4G, 5G), Wi-Fi networks, satellite networks, or proprietary networks. The network (114) allows the system (100) to exchange information regardless of their physical proximity, enabling remote management, content updates, and data synchronization.

[0045] The remote server (112) is a computing system, or a cluster of systems located externally to both the vehicle (104) and the electronic device (102). The remote server (112) may be configured to perform several functions, which may include storing a centralized repository of the multimedia content, managing user accounts and preferences, providing updates to the mobile application (102c) or the vehicle’s software, processing the data collected from the vehicle (104) or the electronic device (102), and providing the dynamic content feeds (e.g., real-time traffic information, news, streaming media). The remote server (112) mayadditionally act as a central hub, coordinating interactions and distributing information across the system (100).

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic device (102) may interact with both the vehicle (104) and the remote server (112) via the network (114). The electronic device (102) may also be configured to communicate directly with the vehicle (104) using local protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct) or indirectly via the network (114), where the vehicle (104) and electronic device (102) both connect to the remote server (112). The electronic device (102) may be configured to download content or updates from the remote server (112), upload data (e.g., usage statistics, feedback) to the remote server (112), and exchange information with the vehicle (104).

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle (104) also connects to the electronic device (102) and the remote server (112) via the network (114). This allows the vehicle (104) to send the data to the remote server (112), such as vehicle status information, diagnostic data, location, and operating parameters. It can also receive data from the remote server (112), including software updates (Over-The-Air or OTA), multimedia content, configuration settings, or instructions for the content displaying system (100). The vehicle (104) may communicate directly with the electronic device (102) over a localized network segment or relay communication between the electronic device (102) and the remote server (112).

[0048] In operation, the display device (106) such as the instrument cluster of the vehicle (104) may be configured to display a multimedia content (such as an image, audio, video, animated textual information, or any combination thereof) associated with the one or more events. The multimedia content for display may be selected by the control unit (108) from the database of multimedia content stored in the memory unit (110), which, for example, the user may have already configured previously via the mobile application (102c). In some cases, the multimedia content for display may be selected from the database of default multimedia content stored in the memory unit (110). The multimedia content for display may be selected based on the current timestamp matching with the event timestamp configured by the user of the vehicle (104). For example, the multimedia content for display may be selectedbased on a current date and its relevance to an event preconfigured by the user. The date updating may be done either through the mobile application (102c) or service tool (not shown). In some embodiments, the multimedia content for display may be selected based on the current timestamp matching with the event timestamp associated with the one or more events, which are not configured by the user, but may be a common event, which is significant to a particular geography and its users. For example, such event may include Independence day, festival day, election day, sports day, etc. These events may be captured by the remote server (112) or the control unit (108) and then may be tagged with the respective timestamp and stored in the memory unit (110). Further, the remote server (112) or the control unit (108) may browse one or more websites or databases of multimedia content to identify and retrieve the associated multimedia content and then store them in the memory unit (110). In an embodiment, the process of displaying the personalized multimedia content may be executed by the control unit (108) for a fixed number of times, for example, 3 times i.e., 3 times during start of the vehicle (104) and 3 times while shutting down the vehicle (104).

[0049] In an exemplary process flow, the user of the vehicle (104) turns ON the vehicle’s ignition. This is detected by the control unit (108) of the vehicle (104). Based on the detected ignition ON state, the control unit (108) performs a check to determine whether a date update has been done by the user, for example, by using the mobile application (102c) running on the electronic device (102) or via the display device (106) such as the instrument cluster interface of the vehicle (104). In some embodiments, the date may be updated through telematics without using the mobile application (102c) or service tool. The control unit (108) further performs a check to determine whether the date has arrived, for example, by comparing the current date with the stored or updated date for which the personalization may be needed. If the date has arrived, then the control unit (108) determines the associated events and selects or retrieves the multimedia content from the database of multimedia content based on the determined events. Further, the display device (106) displays, for example, on its display screen, the multimedia content i.e., the personalized multimedia content with the respect to the related one or more events. The events may include birthday, anniversary, festival, etc.

[0050] Figure 2 is a diagram that illustrates a flow chart of a method (200) for displaying the multimedia content on the display device (106) of the vehicle (104), in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method (200) starts at 201 where an ignition assembly (not shown) of the vehicle (104) is operated by the user of the vehicle (104). The step 201 is triggered by an ignition ON action performed by the user of the vehicle (104). The ignition assembly as described here has not been shown in the accompanying figures, as it represents a conventional component of the vehicle (104), its operation is fundamental to activating the vehicle (104). The ignition assembly, as described herein, refers to a mechanism by which the user provides an initial input to transition the vehicle (104) from a non-operational state (i.e., OFF state) to an operational state (ignition ON state). In an embodiment, the ignition assembly may include a traditional key-operated ignition cylinder where the user inserts and turns a physical key, or a keyless ignition system involving activation via a push-button start mechanism. Regardless of the specific implementation, the operation of the ignition assembly by the user signals the vehicle’s intent to begin operation or to power up its electrical systems. In an embodiment, the ignition assembly may also be used to shift the vehicle (104) from the operational state (ON state) to the non-operational state (OFF state).

[0051] Following the step 201, where the user operates the ignition assembly, the method proceeds to step 202. At step 202, the ignition state is detected. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to detect the ignition state of the vehicle (104). The ignition state of the vehicle (104) may be one of: the ignition ON state or the ignition OFF state. In an exemplary embodiment, the ignition ON state indicates ignition ON performed by the user of the vehicle (104) and signifies that the vehicle (104) has entered an operational state. The ignition ON state is indicative of the primary electrical systems being active. In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle (104) upon entering the ignition ON state, the control unit (108) may send a signal or command to the display device (106) to boot up. This involves powering ON the display hardware, loading necessary firmware, and performing any internal diagnostics required to bring the display device (106) to a state where it may be ready to receive display data from the control unit (108) andrender visual content to the user. In an exemplary embodiment, the ignition OFF state indicates ignition OFF performed by the user of the vehicle (104) and signifies that the vehicle (104) has entered into a non-operation state and the engine has been turned OFF, but the display device (106) may still be active. The method (200) then proceeds to step 204.

[0052] At step 204, the current timestamp is retrieved or determined. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to retrieve or determine the current timestamp. In one example, the timestamp may indicate 23rdday of the month of January. In another example, the timestamp may indicate 23rdday of the month of January of the year 2025. The current timestamp may be retrieved from the memory unit (110). Alternatively, the current timestamp may be determined based on a clock data associated with the vehicle (104). For example, the memory unit (110) associated with the vehicle (104) includes an internal real-time clock (RTC) that maintains the current date and time, and the control unit (108) accesses the internal real-time clock (RTC) to obtain the current timestamp. In another example, the memory unit (110) from which the timestamp may be retrieved may be associated with the electronic device (102). The control unit (108) may retrieve the current timestamp by communicating with the electronic device (102) via the established communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi). The electronic device (102) may access its internal time source and provide the timestamp data to the control unit (108). In yet another example, the memory unit (110) may be associated with the remote server (112). The control unit (108), either through the electronic device (102) or a direct network connection from the vehicle (104) to the network (114), retrieves the timestamp from the remote server (112). This can be particularly useful for ensuring that the retrieved timestamp may be synchronized with a standard time source, to avoid potential inaccuracies of a local clock that is not regularly updated. In yet another example, the memory unit (110) storing the current timestamp may be associated with a dedicated timing unit (not shown). This timing unit may be a specialized hardware component or a software module primarily responsible for obtaining and maintaining accurate time information. Such timing unit may utilize external signals, such as GPS time signals or Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers, to synchronize its internal clock. This dedicated timing unit,and its associated memory (110) may be associated with at least one of: the vehicle (104), the electronic device (102), and the remote server (112). The control unit (108) may then retrieve the timestamp from this dedicated unit. The method (200) then proceeds to step 206.

[0053] At step 206, a check is performed to determine whether the portion of the current timestamp matches with at least the portion of the event timestamp stored in the memory unit (110). In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to perform the check operation to determine whether the portion (such as at least the day and month) of the current timestamp matches with the corresponding portion (such as at least the day and month) of the event timestamp stored in the memory unit (110).

[0054] In an embodiment, the user of the vehicle (104) may be provided with an interface, either on the display device (106) within the vehicle (104) or through the mobile application (102c) on the electronic device (102), to configure, update, or change the event timestamp and the associated one or more events. This allows the user to configure the one or more events related to the preferred dates (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries, festivals, etc.). In some embodiments, the event timestamp may be configured or updated through the service tool when the vehicle (104) is undergoing maintenance or configuration. The event timestamp may contain detailed time-related data, similar in structure to the current timestamp. In an embodiment, the event timestamp may include at least one or more of: a time of the day, a day of the week, a month of the year, and the year. In a preferred embodiment, the event timestamp may include at least the day and month of the one or more events.

[0055] In an embodiment, the check at step 206 may be performed for the portion of the current timestamp and the corresponding event timestamp. The check between the current timestamp and the event timestamp may be performed by using at least the day and month format. For instance, the format may be provided as “dd / mm”, where ‘dd’ represents the day of the month and ‘mm’ represents the month of the year. In an alternate embodiment, the format may be “mm / dd”. This allows the system to identify specific dates, such as holidays, anniversaries, orscheduled recurring events, irrespective of the current year or time of day. Thus, at step 206, the control unit (108) executes a comparison logic. It takes the relevant portion(s) of the current timestamp (e.g., the current day and month) and checks if they match the corresponding portion(s) of the one or more stored event timestamps (e.g., the current day and month). If, at step 206, it is determined that the portion of the current timestamp matches with at least the corresponding portion of the event timestamp stored in the memory unit (110), then the method (200) proceeds to step 208. However, if, at step 206, it is determined that the portion of the current timestamp does not match with at least the corresponding portion of the event timestamp stored in the memory unit (110), then the method (200) goes back to step 201.

[0056] At step 208, the one or more events associated with the current timestamp are determined. In an embodiment, based on the determined matching i.e., the current timestamp matches with at least one stored event timestamp, the control unit (108) may be configured to determine the one or more events associated with the current timestamp. Alternatively, the one or more events associated with the stored event timestamp (which matches with the current timestamp) may be determined by the control unit (108). The method (200) then proceeds to step 210.

[0057] At step 210, the multimedia content is displayed based on the one or more events. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to display the multimedia content based on the one or more events. Prior to the display, the control unit (108) may be configured to select the multimedia content from the database of multimedia content stored in the memory unit (110). This database of multimedia content includes one or more multimedia content corresponding to the one or more events stored in the memory unit (110). Each multimedia content may be at least one of: a text, an image, an audio, a video, or an animated content, or any combination thereof. After identifying and selecting the correct multimedia content based on the determined events associated with the current timestamp, the control unit (108) may display the multimedia content on the display device (106). For example, the selected multimedia content may be transmitted to the display device (106), where it is visually rendered for the user of the vehicle (104).

[0058] In an embodiment, the selected multimedia content may be designed to convey at least a theme associated with the determined events. For example, if an event signifies a festive holiday, the displayed content may feature a festive imagery or video or animation. In another example, if an event is a birthday, the displayed content may feature a birthday greeting message in the form of a text, an audio, a video, or any combination thereof.

[0059] In an embodiment, the multimedia content may be displayed for a preset time duration. This means the content may appear on the display device (106) for a fixed time period, such as five seconds, ten seconds, or any other predefined interval, after which it may automatically dismiss itself, transition to a default display, or be replaced by other content. This timed display ensures that important information is presented prominently without unnecessarily cluttering the display for extended periods. In an embodiment, the display duration of the multimedia content may be contingent upon a preset occurrence of changes in the ignition state of the vehicle (104). For example, specific content (e.g., a critical maintenance alert or a persistent reminder) may be displayed every time the vehicle (104) is started (i.e., when the ignition state changes from OFF to ON) for a predetermined number of such occurrences, such as three ignition cycles. This ensures that important information is reiterated to the user across multiple uses of the vehicle (104). Thus, the personalized multimedia content may be displayed for a fixed number of times, for example, 3 times during start (ignition ON) of the vehicle (104), and 3 times while shutting down (ignition OFF) the vehicle (104). This mechanism provides a robust way to ensure the information is received and acknowledged by the user over time, rather than being missed in a single display instance. The control unit (108) continuously monitors the ignition state to manage these display conditions effectively. After the multimedia content is displayed for the preset number of occurrences, the method (200) proceeds to step 211 where the process stops.

[0060] Figure 3 is a diagram (300) that illustrates the electronic device (102) used by the user to configure and update the one or more events and personalize the content display, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. When the user opens the mobile application (102c) and runs it on the electronic device (102), the mobile application (102c) may be configured to presentan interface (302). The primary purpose of this interface (302) is to allow the user of the vehicle (104) to configure and manage the content display by defining the preferred events and their corresponding timestamps. Thus, each event timestamp and the one or more events associated with each event timestamp may be provided and updated by the user through use of at least the electronic device (102) associated with the user of the vehicle (104), for example, by using the interface (302), alternatively, through the display device (106) of the vehicle (104). The one or more events and the corresponding timestamps are received and stored in the memory unit (110). In some embodiments, the user may use the mobile application (102c) on the electronic device (102) to also select and tag the multimedia content for each configured event. In some embodiments, the user may use the mobile application (102c) to also browse one or more websites, select related multimedia content, and then tag the multimedia content for each configured event.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown, the interface (302) may be provided with one or more designated options or input fields, designed to allow the user to conveniently enter the relevant information for the personalized content display. A first field may include “Title of occasion”. This input field may allow the user to provide a specific event or occasion. This title serves as an easy reference for the user when managing multiple stored events. For example, a user may enter “Mom’s Birthday,” “Anniversary,” or “Weekly Meeting Reminder.” A second field may include “Date of occasion”. This input field enables the user to specify the exact date, or a recurring date associated with the event. A third field may include “Theme of occasion”. This input field allows the user to define or select the one or more events that may be associated with the specified timestamp. This theme dictates the type or nature of the multimedia content to be displayed when a match occurs. The interface may offer a range of predefined themes (e.g., “Celebration,” “Reminder,” “Alert,” “Personalized Message”) or allow for custom input. For instance, a user may select a “Celebration” theme for a birthday, which may then trigger a festive animation, or a “Reminder” theme for a service date, leading to a specific maintenance icon display.

[0062] Through this interface (302), the user customizes the parameters of the content displaying method. The information entered by the user (event, date, theme,etc.) may be processed by the processor (102a) of the electronic device (102) via the mobile application (102c). This structured data, comprising the event timestamp and its associated event information, may be subsequently transmitted and stored in the memory unit (110), which, as previously discussed, may be associated with the vehicle (104), the electronic device (102) itself, or the remote server (112).

[0063] Figure 4 is a diagram (400) that illustrates the display device (106) displaying the multimedia content, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The display device (106) serves as the primary visual output medium for the content display in the vehicle (104). It is the interface through which the selected multimedia content, determined by the control unit (108), is presented to the user. In an exemplary embodiment, the display device (106) may be configured with a dedicated area or interface to display the multimedia content based on the current timestamp and the associated events. This dedicated area or interface refers to a specific, pre-defined region on a screen of the display device (106) that may be reserved for the presentation of the multimedia content. This area may be distinct from other potential display elements, such as core vehicle information (e.g., speed, fuel level), navigation maps, or standard infotainment interfaces. The purpose of having a dedicated area is to ensure that the content is presented prominently and consistently. For example, this dedicated area may manifest as a fixed widget, a specific quadrant of a multi-information display, an overlay region, or a pop-up notification zone that appears and disappears as dictated by the content displaying method.

[0064] In another embodiment, as an alternative to the dedicated display area, the multimedia content may also be configured to display on the full resolution of the display device (106). This means that instead of segmenting specific areas or interface for the dedicated display of the multimedia content, the multimedia content utilizes the entire available screen of the display device (106). This configuration may be beneficial when the multimedia content requires maximum visual impact, details, or immersion, or when the content is deemed sufficiently important to temporarily supersede other information that may typically be shown on the display. For instance, a critical alert or a captivating animation associated with a relevant event may be presented across the entire screen, ensuring the user’s full attention.

[0065] Figure 5 is a diagram that illustrates a flow chart of a method (500) for displaying the multimedia content on the display device (106) of the vehicle (104), in accordance with another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0066] At step 502, the ignition state is detected. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to detect the ignition state. The ignition state may correspond to the ignition ON state indicating ignition ON performed by the user of the vehicle (104). The ignition state may correspond to the ignition OFF state indicating ignition OFF performed by the user of the vehicle (104). The method (500) then proceeds to step 504.

[0067] At step 504, a check is performed to determine whether the date (timestamp) updating has been done. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to perform the check to determine whether the date (timestamp) update has been done, for example, through the mobile application (102c) on the electronic device (102) or via the display device (106) such as the instrument cluster interface of the vehicle (104). If, at step 504, it is determined that the date updating has been done, then the method (500) proceeds to step 506, else to step 502.

[0068] At step 506, a check is performed to determine whether the updated date (timestamp) has arrived. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to perform the check to determine whether the event date (timestamp) has arrived. This may be done by comparing the current date with the stored or updated event date for which the personalization may be needed. If, at step 506, it is determined that the stored or updated event date has arrived, then the method (500) proceeds to step 508, else the method (500) proceeds to step 512 and the process ends.

[0069] At step 508, the personalized information, such as the multimedia content associated with the current date and the associated event, is displayed. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to display the personalized information on the display device (106) for a predefined time, for example, 3 seconds or 5 seconds. The method (500) then proceeds to step 510.

[0070] At step 510, the same process is repeated. In an embodiment, the control unit (108) may be configured to repeat the same process for a predefined number ofconsecutive ignition cycle. The method (500) then proceeds to step 512, and the process ends.

[0071] The present subject matter discloses systems and methods for displaying multimedia content on a vehicle display (i.e., instrument cluster or a separate infotainment device) of a vehicle in accordance with one or more preferred events configured or updated by a user of the vehicle. For example, the instrument cluster or the infotainment device of the vehicle may be configured to display the multimedia content (such as image, video, text, or animated textual information) associated with the one or more events. The events may include birthday, anniversary, festival, etc. The multimedia content for display may be selected from a database of preconfigured multimedia content based on the one or more events associated a current timestamp that matches with an event timestamp stored in a memory unit. In some cases, the multimedia content for display may be selected from a set of default multimedia content stored in the vehicle’s memory. The multimedia content may be selected based on a current date and its relevance to an event preconfigured by the user. The date updating can be done either through mobile or service tool.

[0072] The present invention provides the advantage of offering dynamic, context-sensitive content, and personalized settings based on user profiles and preferences, thereby ensuring that the vehicle’s display remains engaging and relevant. This personalization keeps the users more connected with the vehicle system, offering tailored information and entertainment options that enhance the overall experience, making the vehicle feel more intuitive and comfortable to use. Further, the present invention enables the user to feel freshness and surprise at every boarding time, improves the added value of the vehicle’s display, and ensures safety of the vehicle operation. This feature may be utilized for displaying some other alerts, which can be sent over OTA or from other network connected device.
