In response to receiving a request from a user device for an on-demand crossing of a roadway at a geo-location, a method determines whether connected vehicles on the roadway are approaching the geo-location. A wait-to-cross-the-roadway message is sent to the user's device. In response to determining connected vehicles are approaching the geo-location, a direction, distance, and speed of connected vehicles relative to the geo-location are determined. Instructions are sent to the connected vehicles to reduce speed and allow the user to cross the roadway, including a message to the user device explaining a purpose of the instructions. In response to determining the one or more connected vehicles comply with the instructions, the one or more processors send a safe-to-cross message to the user, and upon detecting successful roadway crossing of the user device, instructing the connected vehicles to resume travel.

Predictive navigation system

A voice-controlled device monitors content delivered to a user through a non-interactive or unidirectional medium, such as broadcast television or radio. Each time the device recognizes delivered content that includes an advertisement or solicitation, the device records information identifying the content and the time at which the content is delivered. The device also listens for environmental audio cues suggesting that a user has performed a desired action in response to viewing or hearing the recognized content. If the device determines that a user response has occurred within a predetermined duration of time after a corresponding advertisement or solicitation, the device correlates the response with the content. The device then performs a corresponding activity, such as notifying the content-delivery service that a royalty should be collected from the content's source; directly transferring a royalty from the source's account to the service's account; or updating response-rate statistics associated with the content.

Virtual interactivity for a broadcast content-delivery medium

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants. One or more cameras on a vehicle identify a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle. The one or more cameras identify a focused eye state of the driver. One or more object recognition sensors on the vehicle identify objects around the vehicle. The computer system determines whether an object is identified in the gaze direction. In response to the object being identified in the gaze direction, the computer system instructs a light indicator to emit light in a direction toward the object. The light indicator notifies a traffic participant associated with the object that the driver has seen the object.

Sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants

Mechanisms are provided to implement a location identification mechanism to identify a location or route for a user. A starting location of the user is identified in response to receiving a set of details from the user including at least a target location. A three-dimensional model of an area around the starting location, an area around the target location, and an area between the starting location and the target location is generated and current local weather and forecasted local weather associated with the starting location, the target location, and the area between the starting location and the target location is identified. Anticipated wind flow and temperatures within the generated three-dimensional model are simulated to identify a route from the starting location to the target location that meets a set of personal preferences of the user. The identified route is then presented on a user-selected navigation application.
