Voice Application Generator Platform for Real Time Multimedia Vehicle Sensor based Notifications

Abstract

Nowadays, many software applications are used to offer services or functionalities to drivers. Even though, there is a lack of applications that offer drivers the possibility to express their need to generate a specific application in real time. In this research, the authors present an innovative platform that allows users to generate multimedia web applications that use real time vehicle sensor information. The creation of applications is specified through a voice interface to allow users to generate applications while driving. Information used in the applications is collected combining mobile device sensors accelerometer, GPS, light sensor, barometer, etc. and vehicle real time On-board Diagnosis port information speed, engine revolutions per minute, fuel consumption, coolant temperature, throttle, battery voltage, etc.. The domain of generated applications includes driving safety, road state, parameter notifications, social applications, etc. The generated applications can display visual information systems such as maps, audio, video and measurement gauges. For the analysis of this paper, the authors present three prototypes to demonstrate the platform capabilities.
