receiving, at the mobile device, a request from the occupant after receiving the request initiation;
determining a content of the request from the occupant;
detecting a gaze location of the occupant;
receiving information related to an environment surrounding the vehicle based on data collected by a sensor attached to the vehicle;
identifying a region of interest (ROI) outside of the vehicle based on the detected gaze location and the information related to the environment surrounding the vehicle;
determining a location of the vehicle;
generating log data based on the ROI, the location of the vehicle, and the content of the request;
transmitting the log data to an external device;
receiving, from the external device, information related to an object within the ROI, wherein the information satisfies the content of the request; and
generating the log data comprises generating the log data using a processor mounted in the vehicle.
