Abstract

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a processor coupled to a wireless transceiver;
a camera to capture device environment, wherein the camera determines distances of the neighboring objects from the camera;
code to change insurance cost based on safe driver behavior as detected by the processor by increasing insurance cost for a first driver behavior and decreasing insurance cost for a second driver behavior, and wherein the processor collects travel data from drivers.

2. The system of claim 1 , comprising a pressure sensor, a motion sensor, a finger sensor, a digit motion sensor, an EKG sensor, a bio sensor, a medical sensor, or a temperature sensor.

3. The system of claim 1 , comprising a module to follow other third parties or a module to follow other devices in a flock.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a road contacting surface, air contacting surface or water contacting surface.

5. The system of claim 1 , comprising a gesture identifying component configured to identify hand or finger gesture to the device.

6. The system of claim 1 , comprising an optical positioning system.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the positioning system comprises a laser positioning system.

8. The system of claim 1 , comprising a sensor to detect an imminent impact and activate crash protection for a user.

9. The system of claim 1 , comprising a hidden markov model (HMM) or a deep learning machine to detect patterns from the camera and the accelerometer.

10. The system of claim 1 , comprising an emotion detector to detect a user condition.

11. The system of claim 1 , comprising an accelerometer and a camera to detect a potential impact.

12. The system of claim 1 , comprising a cloud computer coupled to the processor to predict an impact and to protect a user for the impact.

13. The system of claim 1 , comprising at least a second camera to capture car interior.

14. The system of claim 1 , comprising a module to follow other vehicles or a module to follow vehicles in a flock.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a road contacting surface, further comprising a positioning system.

16. The system of claim 1 , comprising a gesture identifying component to recognize hand or finger gesture to the device.

17. The system of claim 1 , comprising returning from user control to processor control upon user activation.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein prior to taking control, the processor scans the surroundings and determines any obstacles or objects in the immediate vicinity which reduce safety.

19. The system of claim 1 , wherein a driver maintains control of the device before entering into an autonomous mode.

20. The system of claim 1 , comprising code to relinquish control of the device back to a driver if safe, and otherwise collect travel data from neighboring vehicles and coordinate travel path for a plurality of vehicles to increase safety and decrease travel cost, travel time, energy cost, air pollution.
