Abstract

The invention provides a system for providing a travel experience to a car owner characterized in a backend service layer (18) for serving content (20) to mobile apps (11, 12) and data storage (20) connected to the service layer (18) for storing master and transactional data.

Description

  • The present invention pertains to a system for providing a travel experience to a car owner.
    • Background art
  • Within the field of user interface technique, a computer program designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch is commonly referred to as a mobile app. State-of-the-art apps that are not preinstalled are usually available through distribution platforms called app stores.
  • CN 105185149 discloses a parking lot parking space reservation and navigation system which comprises multiple parking lot front-end servers arranged in each parking lot, a public network server for user access, and a client APP. Each of the parking lot front-end servers stores the available parking space information of the parking lot to which the parking lot front-end server belongs, the position of the parking lot and charge information and transmits internally updated data information to the public network server in real time. The public network server receives the data information transmitted by the multiple parking lot front-end servers and summarizes the information, receives the parking request information sent by the client APP, responds to the parking space reservation request sent by the client APP and processes the order submitted by each user. According to the system, through a VIP parking lot parking space reservation and navigation system based on a mobile phone or vehicle APP, a VIP vehicle owner can be helped to easily book a parking space, a navigation function can be provided to guide the vehicle owner to reach a reserved parking space, and convenience is provided for user travel and parking management.
  • As per US 2016098929 , a driver uses a mobile phone application to transmit a request to a central processor for information on available parking spaces, accommodating a specific size car, close to her present location or a future location. An image processor processes real time images from linked cameras overlooking parking spaces, comparing them with reference images of unoccupied parking spaces, vehicles including automobiles, bicycles and motorcycles, a no parking sign sandwich board and a traffic cone. The image processor sends the information on available parking spaces to the central processor. The central processor saves image processor information and information on available parking spaces, parking fee and advertising promotions from parking facilities on a database and transmits a response to the driver's request. The mobile phone application displays and audio broadcasts the response. The driver pays a fee and reserves an available parking space to exclude it from responses to other requests.
  • US 2016119897 discloses a mobile terminal capable of allowing a driver to drive a vehicle safely, by providing notification information related to the vehicle, and notification information received from the mobile terminal according to priorities, and a method of controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes: a communication unit; an output unit configured to output road guidance information; and a controller configured to detect first notification information related to a vehicle, to receive second notification information from a mobile terminal through the communication unit, to set priorities of the first and second notification information, and to output the first and second notification information to the output unit according to the set priorities.
  • A projected architecture system as per US 2016207400 may include a first device, associated with a driver of a vehicle, which drives the display of content on the infotainment screen of the vehicle. A passenger in the motor vehicle may have a second device that the passenger can utilize to transmit an instruction to the first device. The instruction may cause the display of the infotainment system to be altered. The passenger may, for example, utilize the second device to cast a point of interest or navigation direction to the infotainment display via the first device. Thus, the driver does not need to search, browse, and/or view functions and/or content on the infotainment system's display and can concentrate on operating the vehicle.
    • Disclosure of the invention
  • The invention provides a system for providing a travel experience to a car owner.
  • Embodiments of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.
    • Brief description of drawings
  • The sole figure gives an architectural overview of a system as per the invention.
    • Embodiment of the invention
  • The figure illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention accessible through exemplary iOS and Android apps (11, 12). Upon authentication (13) or, if necessary, registration of the car owner through a portal or web shop (14) providing adequate license management (15) and payment services (16), the respective app (11, 12) connects to a backend service layer (18) through a preferably RESTful application programming interface (API 23) to retrieve content (20), for example, app tiles and additional text or images. The service layer (18) itself is hosted on an on-demand cloud computing platform (17) such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and equipped with data storage (19) for master and transactional data, while third-party providers (21) and customer-relationship management (CRM 22) may be integrated through additional APIs (23).
  • As a central element of the apps (11, 12), a personal companion ("Lifestyle Assistant") offers various extraordinary experiences, products, and services worldwide and around the clock and is preferably accessible by phone, email, and feature-rich chat. The apps (11, 12) may further provide access to vehicle-related services such as car wash, parking, partner benefits, VIP airport or other services, airport parking, valet parking, or lounge info and access. Lastly, the apps (11, 12) may provide access to bucket-list events, social and business clubs, selected tickets, premium shopping, and other curated travel experiences.
