  • Publication number: 20230282038
    Abstract: A method of operation of a mobile compute system comprising: identifying a vehicle prepared to travel by monitoring an on-board diagnostics; detecting an unplug event based on a message from the on-board diagnostics; detecting a trip in progress during the unplug event; and transferring the message identifying a loose connector pin in an on-board diagnostic port during the trip in progress for displaying on a device.

  • Publication number: 20230093840
    Abstract: A method of operation of a compute system comprising: determining a potential ignition-on event from an on-board diagnostics; receiving a message group from the on-board diagnostic based on the potential ignition-on event; determining a match between a footprint and the message group; identifying a vehicle make-model-year based on the match and the footprint; decoding a vehicle identification based on the vehicle make-model-year and the footprint; and communicating the vehicle make-model-year, the vehicle identification, or a combination thereof for displaying on a device.

  • Patent number: 11605251
    Abstract: A method of operation of a compute system comprising: operating a controller area network with a first node including a first error counter and a second node including a second error counter; transmitting a message from the first node to the second node over the controller area network; detecting an error by the first node or the second node; incrementing the first error counter or the second error counter based on whichever the first node or the second node that detected the error; and shutting off an on-board diagnostic port when the first error counter or the second error counter reaches a shut-off threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220237277
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for intelligent driving monitoring systems, advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems, and providing one-click driver image labeling to facilitate the assignment of drive time to a driver. Various aspects of the driver and/or passengers may be determined, which may include a driver identifier previously associated with the driver, whether the driver is wearing a facial covering, whether an image of the driver is partially occluded, whether the driver is facing in the direction of the camera, and whether an image of the driver is expected to be easily recognizable to a person tasked with assigning representative driver images to driver identifiers. These determinations may be used to improve the efficacy and ease-of-use of a visual login system.

  • Publication number: 20210241550
    Abstract: A method of operation of a vehicle system comprising: receiving a first voltage reading, a second voltage reading, or a combination thereof; receiving a location based reading; calculating a first voltage difference between the first voltage reading and the second voltage reading; determining an initial start event for a vehicle based on a start confirmation with the first voltage difference is greater than an electrical range or based on the location based reading; and operating the vehicle based on the initial start event.

  • Publication number: 20120143409
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a drive mode switch is provided that is configured to move in a rotary motion, a substantially fore-and-aft motion and a substantially cross-vehicle motion. The switch sends a signal that corresponds to each of the motions. A controller is provided that receives the signals from the switch and includes programmed software that correlates the signals to various vehicle motion outputs, such as forward and reverse.
