Abstract:
A method and system for generating and tracking dynamic advertisements within a program, such as a video game, running on a portable computing device (PCD) are described. The method and system include receiving a call from the program for a texture and reviewing an identifier associated with the texture. A graphics driver determines if the identifier associated with the texture matches an identifier in a texture database. The graphics driver then selects a dynamic advertisement from a texture database if the identifier associated with the texture matches the identifier in the texture database. The graphics driver issues commands to the graphics processor so that dynamic advertisement is presented on a screen display. The graphics driver then determines if a video object produced by the program blocks a portion of the dynamic advertisement present on the screen display.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer programmable media for generating applications configured to access telemetry from at least one vehicle, the applications being generated by a consumer-programmable platform, are presented. The application may display data indicative of the vehicle telemetry or may allow a user to interface with the vehicle telemetry. Examples of vehicle telemetry may include data about the health and status of the vehicle, such as the current temperature of the vehicle engine or the current speed of the vehicle. Embodiments may generate applications configured to access telemetry from multiple vehicles built by different automobile manufacturers.
