Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining a danger level of an object in a vehicle, determining characteristics of the object including a weight, a size, and a location, updating the danger level of the object based on one or more of the characteristics, and sending a notification to a device associated with the updated danger level of the object.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method comprising:
determining a danger level of an object in a vehicle; determining characteristics of the object including a weight, a size, and a location; updating the danger level of the object based on the characteristics; and sending a notification to a device associated with the object.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the danger level is associated with a movement of the object in the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the updating of the danger level is based on a location of an occupant in the vehicle and a location of the object in the vehicle.
4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining one or more dangerous surfaces in the vehicle, wherein the one or more dangerous surfaces is a surface that is a greater height than another surface; and sending the notification when the object is placed on the one or more dangerous surfaces.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the notification is sent when the danger level is unable to be determined and the object is on the one or more dangerous surfaces.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification includes a potential outcome when the danger level rises above a threshold in the vehicle.
7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising informing the vehicle to stop when the danger level is updated to a level over a threshold.
8 . A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are communicably coupled, wherein the processor:
determines a danger level of an object in a vehicle;
determines characteristics of the object that includes a weight, a size, and a location;
updates the danger level of the object based on the characteristics; and
sends a notification to a device associated with the object.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the danger level is associated with a movement of the object in the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the danger level that is updated is based on a location of an occupant in the vehicle and a location of the object in the vehicle.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor:
determines one or more dangerous surfaces in the vehicle, wherein the one or more dangerous surfaces is a surface that is a greater height than another surface; and sends the notification when the object is placed on the one or more dangerous surfaces.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the notification is sent when the danger level is unable to be determined and the object is on the one or more dangerous surfaces.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the notification includes a potential outcome when the danger level rises above a threshold in the vehicle.
14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor informs the vehicle to stop when the danger level is updated to a level over a threshold.
15 . A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
determining a danger level of an object in a vehicle; determining characteristics of the object including a weight, a size, and a location; updating the danger level of the object based on the characteristics; and sending a notification to a device associated with the object.
16 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the danger level is associated with a movement of the object in the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.
17 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the updating of the danger level is based on a location of an occupant in the vehicle and a location of the object in the vehicle.
18 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor further performs:
determining one or more dangerous surfaces in the vehicle, wherein the one or more dangerous surfaces is a surface that is a greater height than another surface; and sending the notification when the object is placed on the one or more dangerous surfaces.
19 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the notification is sent when the danger level is unable to be determined and the object is on the one or more dangerous surfaces.
20 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor further performs informing the vehicle to stop when the danger level is updated to a level over a threshold.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
