    摘要: Technology is described for providing electronic offering items to passengers on an aircraft. In one example of the technology, destination information may be obtained from an aircraft data bus that receives aircraft flight information from a plurality of aircraft information systems located on the aircraft. The destination information may be sent to a vendor application programming interface (API) to obtain at least one electronic offering item associated with the destination information to display in an inflight entertainment system. An electronic offering item may be received via the vendor API, and the electronic offering item may be sent to a client device to be displayed via the inflight entertainment system. A graphical interface of the inflight entertainment system at the client device may enable a passenger on the aircraft to interact with the electronic offering item.

    摘要: Provided is a scent output control unit that executes scent output control and a scent output unit that executes a scent output under control of the scent output control unit. The scent output control unit selects a scent to be output on the basis of an advertisement and outputs the selected scent via the scent output unit. The scent output control unit selects a scent to be output on the basis of the advertisement detected from an image captured by a vehicle exterior camera that captures the outside of the vehicle or an advertisement output to the information output terminal, and outputs the selected scent via the scent output unit.

    摘要: A front-end image acquisition component acquires photographs and/or videos of the exterior of a vehicle traveling on a path between a first predefined location and a second predefined location. In one aspect, an image acquisition system comprises a first camera support structure, a second camera support structure, an image processor, and a memory. Cameras are affixed to each of the camera support structures for acquiring image data of a subject vehicle. Image data is controlled by the image processor and the memory. In another aspect, an image acquisition system comprises a first camera tower, a second camera tower, a camera boom. Cameras are affixed to each of the camera towers. In another aspect, a method of identifying features of the exterior of a vehicle includes acquiring a series of images from a front-end component, accessing previously acquired images and associated metadata stored in a database, executing machine learning algorithms using the previously acquired information to identify at least one exterior vehicle feature, and executing machine learning algorithms using the presently acquired series of images to identify at least one exterior feature of the vehicle.
