Digital license plate system and method of use thereof

Abstract

A digital license plate system comprising a dynamic display configured to be mounted on an exterior of a vehicle, and a processor configured to render content on the dynamic display based on content data obtained locally within the digital license plate or externally from an external, the processor being configured to generate an award data based on the content displayed on the dynamic display.

1 . A digital license plate system comprising:
 a dynamic display configured to be mounted on an exterior of a vehicle; and   a processor configured to render content on the dynamic display based on content data obtained locally within the digital license plate or externally from an external, the processor being configured to generate an award data based on the content displayed on the dynamic display.   
     
     
         2 . The digital license plate system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor further uses data on how long the content was displayed, when the content was displayed, and where the content was displayed to determine the award data generated. 
     
     
         3 . The digital license plate system of  claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle speed sensor configured to detect a speed of the vehicle, wherein the processor determines the content to be rendered on the dynamic display based on the content data available and the speed of the vehicle. 
     
     
         4 . The digital license plate system of  claim 1 , further comprising a proximity sensor configured to generate a proximity data based on an immediate surrounding of the vehicle, the processor being configured to determine the content to be rendered on the dynamic display based on the proximity data and the content data available. 
     
     
         5 . The digital license plate system of  claim 4 , wherein the proximity data includes information related to a proximal vehicle near the vehicle, a driver of the proximal vehicle, or a passenger of the proximal vehicle. 
     
     
         6 . The digital license plate system of  claim 4 , wherein the proximity data includes a response by a driver or a passenger of the proximal vehicle to the message displayed on the dynamic display. 
     
     
         7 . The digital license plate system of  claim 1 , further comprising a communication device configured to receive user input from a user device, wherein the processor determines the content to be rendered on the dynamic display based on the content data available and the user input. 
     
     
         8 . The digital license plate system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a storage device configured to store content data; and   a communication device configured to receive the content data from the external device, wherein the processor either stores the content data in the storage device or uses the content data to render content on the dynamic display through data streaming.   
     
     
         9 . A digital license plate system comprising:
 a dynamic display configured to be mounted on the exterior of a vehicle;   a data storage configured to store at least a status data; and   a processor connected to the data storage and configured to render content on the dynamic display based on the status data.   
     
     
         10 . The digital license plate system of  claim 9 , wherein the status data includes vehicle identification information, vehicle registration information, vehicle maintenance information, and driver information. 
     
     
         11 . The digital license plate system of  claim 9 , further comprising a communication device configured to receive update data from an external device, wherein the processor updates the status data based on the update data. 
     
     
         12 . The digital license plate system of  claim 9 , further comprising a communication device configured to receive user input data from a user device, wherein the processor is configured to render content on the dynamic display based on the status data and the user input data. 
     
     
         13 . A method of rendering content on an exterior of a vehicle to earn reward, the method comprising the steps of:
 mounting a dynamic display of a digital license plate on an exterior of a vehicle;   obtaining content data either from a storage device of the digital license plate or a content database external to the digital license plate;   rendering content on the dynamic display based on the content data; and   generate an award data based on the content displayed on the dynamic display.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the step of using data on how long the content was displayed, when the content was displayed, and where the content was displayed to determine the award data generated. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the steps of:
 detecting a speed of the vehicle; and   determining the content to be rendered on the dynamic display based on the content data available and the speed of the vehicle.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the steps of:
 generating a proximity data based on an immediate surrounding of the vehicle;   determining the content to be rendered on the dynamic display based on the content data available and the proximity data generated.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the step of generating the proximity data includes the steps of:
 detecting information on a proximal vehicle near the vehicle, a driver of the proximal vehicle, or a passenger of the proximal vehicle; and   generating the proximity data based on at least one of the information on a proximal vehicle near the vehicle, a driver of the proximal vehicle, or a passenger of the proximal vehicle.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the steps of:
 detecting a response by a driver or a passenger of the proximal vehicle to the message displayed on the dynamic display; and   updating the proximity data based on the detected response by a driver or a passenger of the proximal vehicle to the message displayed on the dynamic display.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the steps of:
 receiving a user input from a user device; and   determining the content to be rendered on the dynamic display based on the content data available and the user input.
