Abstract

A device receives an image including image data of a scale model of a vehicle, and processes the image data, with a model, to identify a make, a model, and a year represented by the scale model. The device determines augmented reality (AR) vehicle information based on the make, the model, and the year represented by the scale model of the vehicle, and provides the AR vehicle information to enable a user device to associate the AR vehicle information with the image of the scale model of the vehicle. The device receives an input associated with the AR vehicle information, and determines updated AR vehicle information based on the input associated with the AR vehicle information. The device provides the updated AR vehicle information to enable the user device to associate the updated augmented reality vehicle information with the image of the scale model of the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
sending, by a device, image data of a scale model of a vehicle,
wherein the scale model of the vehicle corresponds to one or more available vehicles in an inventory of a vehicle dealer;

receiving, by the device, vehicle information based on a processing of the image data of the scale model of the vehicle,
wherein the vehicle information includes at least one of:
information identifying a year of the vehicle,
information identifying a make of the vehicle, or
information identifying a vehicle model of the vehicle;

transmitting, by the device, an input associated with the vehicle information;
receiving, by the device and based on transmitting the input, augmented reality vehicle information that corresponds to an available vehicle of the one or more available vehicles,
the augmented reality vehicle information indicating one or more vehicle options affecting an appearance of the available vehicle;

associating, by the device, the augmented reality vehicle information with the image data of the scale model of the vehicle; and
displaying, by the device, the one or more vehicle options using augmented reality to reflect the appearance of the available vehicle on the scale model of the vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving financial information for the available vehicle,
wherein the financial information includes at least one of:
information indicating a price of the available vehicle, or
information indicating financing terms for the available vehicle; and

displaying the financial information on a user interface associated with the device.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
sending an input associated with the financial information; and
receiving updated financial information based on a determination of the updated financial information based on the input associated with the financial information.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving test drive information based on the vehicle information associated with the scale model of the vehicle,
wherein the test drive information includes at least one of:
information indicating that a test drive is available for at least one of the one or more available vehicles, or
information indicating a time of the test drive; and

displaying the test drive information via a user interface associated with the device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving updated vehicle information based on user input associated with the vehicle information; and
displaying the updated vehicle information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more vehicle options comprise one or more of:
a color of the available vehicle, or
an accessory of the available vehicle.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
an appearance of the scale model of the vehicle reflects a base model of the available vehicle; and
the one or more vehicle options are not included in the base model of the available vehicle and not reflected in the appearance of the scale model of the vehicle.

8. A device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
determine vehicle information based on processing image data of a scale model of a vehicle,
wherein the scale model of the vehicle corresponds to one or more available vehicles in an inventory of a vehicle dealer, and
wherein the vehicle information includes at least one of:
information identifying a year of the vehicle,
information identifying a make of the vehicle, or
information identifying a vehicle model of the vehicle;

transmit an input associated with the vehicle information;
receive, based on transmitting the input, augmented reality vehicle information that corresponds to an available vehicle of the one or more available vehicles,
the augmented reality vehicle information indicating one or more vehicle options affecting an appearance of the available vehicle;

associate the augmented reality vehicle information with the image data of the scale model of the vehicle; and
display the one or more vehicle options using augmented reality to reflect the appearance of the available vehicle on the scale model of the vehicle.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive financial information for the available vehicle,
wherein the financial information includes at least one of:
information indicating a price of the available vehicle, or
information indicating financing terms for the available vehicle; and

display the financial information on a user interface associated with the device.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
send an input associated with the financial information; and
receive updated financial information based on a determination of the updated financial information based on the input associated with the financial information.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive test drive information based on the vehicle information associated with the scale model of the vehicle,
wherein the test drive information includes at least one of:
information indicating that a test drive is available for at least one of the one or more available vehicles, or
information indicating a time of the test drive; and

display the test drive information via a user interface associated with the device.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive updated vehicle information based on user input associated with the vehicle information; and
display the updated vehicle information.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more vehicle options comprise one or more of:
a color of the available vehicle, or
an accessory of the available vehicle.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein:
an appearance of the scale model of the vehicle reflects a base model of the available vehicle; and
the one or more vehicle options are not included in the base model of the available vehicle and not reflected in the appearance of the scale model of the vehicle.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
determine vehicle information based on processing image data of a scale model of a vehicle,
wherein the scale model of the vehicle corresponds to one or more available vehicles in an inventory of a vehicle dealer, and
wherein the vehicle information includes at least one of:
information identifying a year of the vehicle,
information identifying a make of the vehicle, or
information identifying a vehicle model of the vehicle;

transmit an input associated with the vehicle information;
receive, based on transmitting the input, augmented reality vehicle information that corresponds to an available vehicle of the one or more available vehicles,
the augmented reality vehicle information indicating one or more vehicle options affecting an appearance of the available vehicle;

associate the augmented reality vehicle information with the image data of the scale model of the vehicle; and
display the one or more vehicle options using augmented reality to reflect the appearance of the available vehicle on the scale model of the vehicle.
