It is to be understood that the above-mentioned method of controlling the variable intake actuator may be performed along with the method steps 201-208 or independently of method steps 201-208.
[047] In an embodiment, the method further comprises steps of multiplexing operation of hazard light and auxiliary lamps using button type hazard switch. The method comprises a step of actuating a hazard light lamp when a button type hazard is operated for a first pre-defined time and actuating one or more auxiliary lamps when the button type hazard switch is operated for a second pre-defined time. In one non-limiting example, the first pre-defined time is one second and the second pre-defined time is 2.5 seconds. It is to be understood that if the auxiliary lamps are uncontrolled, it will lead to substantial battery discharge. The method steps of multiplexing operation of hazard light and auxiliary lamps using button type hazard switch leads to reduction in costs and better control of auxiliary lamps.
[048] It is to be understood that the above-mentioned method of multiplexing operation of hazard light and auxiliary lamps using button type hazard switch may be performed along with the method steps 201-208 or independently of method steps 201-208.
[049] In an embodiment, the method may further comprise steps of auto enabling of one or more vehicular lighting units based on pitch of the vehicle 100. The pitch, roll and yaw of the vehicle 100 are measured by the inertial measurement unit (IMU) disposed on the vehicle 100. When a customer performs an unintended operation such as a wheelie, it poses a safety risk to the rider of the vehicle 100, peer riders and to the vehicle 100. In such a case, the wheelie condition can be assessed based on the pitch of the vehicle 100. Accordingly, the method comprises a step of monitoring a pitch of vehicle 100. The step of monitoring a pitch of the vehicle 100 is performed by the inertial measurement unit (IMU) disposed on the vehicle 100. The method further comprises a step of comparing the pitch of the vehicle 100 with a pre-defined pitch value. The method of comparing the pitch of the vehicle 100 with a pre-defined pitch value is performed by a control unit disposed on the vehicle 100. Based on said comparison, the method further comprises a step of activating one or more vehicular lighting units when the pitch of the vehicle 100 is greater than the pre-defined pitch value. The step of activating one or more vehicular lighting units is performed by the control unit. In one non-limiting example, the one or more vehicular lighting units comprises one or more hazard lamps, headlamp, taillamp and/or indicator lamps.
[050] It is to be understood that the above-mentioned method steps of auto enabling one or more vehicular lighting units based on vehicle pitch may be performed along with the method steps 201-208 or independently of method steps 201-208.
[051] In an embodiment, the method may further comprise steps of auto enabling/disabling one or more hazard lamps based on pitch of the vehicle 100. As already stated, the pitch, roll and yaw of the vehicle are measured by the inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the vehicle 100. When a rider of the vehicle performs an unintended operation such as a wheelie, it poses a safety risk to the rider of the vehicle 100, peer riders and to the vehicle 100. In such a case, the wheelie condition can be assessed based on the pitch of the vehicle 100. Accordingly, the method comprises a step of monitoring a state of the vehicle i.e., whether the vehicle is in roll over state or upright state. The method further comprises a step of activating, on detection of the roll-over state of the vehicle 100, one or more hazard lamps, and deactivating, on detection of an upright state of the vehicle 100, the one or more hazard lamps. The step of monitoring the state of the vehicle 100 and activating/deactivating of the hazard lamps is performed by a control unit disposed on the vehicle 100.
[052] It is to be understood that the above-mentioned method steps of auto enabling/disabling one or more hazard lamps based on roll over state or upright state of the vehicle may be performed along with the method steps 201-208 or independently of method steps 201-208.
[053] Figure 3A and Figure 3B is a flow chart illustrating a method of displaying content in the vehicle100 , in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
[054] As shown, at step 301, the user links in a third party application (app) such as Swiggy ® with his or her registered mobile number and can send messages or receive messages from the third party application using one or more IoT devices 106 such as Amazon Alexa®, Apple Siri®. Microsoft Cortana®, and Google Assistant® .
[055] At step 302 and 303, the registered mobile number of the user is linked with a vehicle and stored in a third party server associated with the third party application. For example, when the user places an order on the Swiggy ® app, a vehicle of delivery executive will be assigned to the registered mobile number of user. The vehicle information/vehicle identifier of the vehicle of the delivery executive will be stored corresponding to the registered mobile number/profile of the user.
[056] At step 304, the third party server decides to send a content (say message) to the vehicle. For example, when the user places an order on Swiggy ® app, the third party (Swiggy Servers) may want to send a message to the vehicle 100 with respect to location from where the delivery has to be picked. In the alternate, there may also be a case where a message sent by the registered mobile number has to be delivered to the vehicle 100 of the delivery executive.
[057] At step 305, the third party server 108 associated with the third party application requests the one or more remotely located servers 104 associated with the vehicle 100 for authentication. The third party server 108 requests the remotely located servers 104 for authorization tokens using credentials.
[058] At step 306, on authentication of the third party server 108 by one or more remotely located servers 104, the one or more remotely located servers 104 transmits authorization tokens to the third party server 108 with expiry time.
[059] At step 307, the third party server 108 transmits the content (message) received from the one or more IoT devices 106 of the user along with authorization tokens and the vehicle identifier to the one or more remotely located servers 104.
[060] At step 308, the one or more remotely located servers 104 receives the content and transmits the content to the telematics unit 102 of the vehicle 100 identified with the vehicle identifier.
[061] At step 309, the content is received by the vehicle 100 identified with the vehicle identifier. At step 310, the telematics unit 102 of the vehicle 100, to which the content is transmitted, detects the state of the vehicle 100 i.e. whether the vehicle 100 is in ON condition or OFF condition.
[062] In case the vehicle 100 is in ON condition, the method performs the method steps 313-315. In case the vehicle 100 in in OFF condition, the method performs the method steps of 311-312.
[063] At step 311, a storage unit 114 of the telematics unit 102 stores the content received from the one or more remotely located servers 104 and the telematics unit 102 generates and transmits a first message to the one or more IoT devices 106 via the one or more remotely located servers 104/third party servers 108 . The first message indicates an OFF condition of the vehicle 100. The first message is an auto-generated message.
[064] At step 312, the method detects change in state of the vehicle 100 from an OFF condition to an ON condition and performs step 313.
[065] At step 313, the method performs the step of displaying the received content on the display unit 110 of the vehicle 100. The telematics unit 102 transmits the content received from the one or more remotely located servers 104 to the display unit 110. The step 313 is performed only in the vehicle ON condition.
[066] At step 314, the rider of the vehicle 100 has an option of sending second message to the telematics unit 102 wherein the second message is inputted by the rider of the vehicle 100 via an input device 112 disposed in the vehicle. The second message may correspond to an acknowledgement receipt or a reply from the rider of the vehicle 100 in response to the content displayed on the display unit 110.
[067] In a scenario, wherein the second message is an acknowledgement receipt, the input device 112 is, not being limited to, a button or a switch disposed on the vehicle 100 and capable of being operated by the rider of the vehicle 100 for pre-defined number of times and/or pre-defined period of time for sending the acknowledgement receipt.
