Patent number: 9805599Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive a request for publication of a message to a vehicle. The processor is further configured to determine if the message has a time-sensitive indicia, defining an expiration time, affiliated therewith. Also, the processor is configured to deliver messages having time-sensitive indicia to a time-sensitive inbox. The processor is additionally configured to remove messages from the time sensitive inbox when a defined expiration time for a given message has passed.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Joseph Paul Rork, Brian Petersen, Praveen Yalavarty, Ritesh Pandya

Patent number: 9716762Abstract: A message broker may initialize, responsive to a connection notification published via vehicle connection to a vehicle-associated topic tree topic to which a service delivery network is subscribed, a lost-connection notification to be published to the topic by the broker upon broker identification of the connection as lost, and when a periodic notification over the connection to the message broker is missed, publish the lost-connection notification to the vehicle-associated topic. A service delivery may receive a message publish request for a vehicle topic via a message broker to which the service delivery network and vehicle subscribe; and send a wakeup message to the vehicle out-of-band from the message broker to request the vehicle to reconnect to the message broker when a type of the message requires the vehicle to be connected to publish the message and the vehicle is disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Ford Global Technologies LLCInventors: Brian Petersen, Ritesh Pandya, Joseph Paul Rork, Praveen Yalavarty

Patent number: 9524156Abstract: A vehicle may gather vehicle build configuration information, and provide a vehicle identifier and the vehicle information to a server. The server may determine a feature set configuration of a configurable module of the vehicle based on the vehicle information and vehicle feature associations retrieved from a vehicle data source, and provide, in a message topic of a topic tree associated with the vehicle identifier to which the vehicle is subscribed, a notification to configure the configurable module. The vehicle may update a feature set configuration of a configurable module supporting a plurality of features based on the notification.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Ritesh Pandya, Brian Petersen, Joseph Paul Rork, Praveen Yalavarty

Patent number: 9398397Abstract: A vehicle may include at least one controller configured to maintain a communication channel over a network between a vehicle and a vehicle service server accessible through an access point node. The at least one controller may be further configured to receive, over the network out-of-band from the communication channel, an update message including updated communication channel connection information, and upon receiving the message, reconnect the communication channel according to the updated connection information. A secure server may be configured to generate the update message specifying at least one of updated access point node information and updated address information, encrypt the update message according to an encryption key shared with a vehicle destination, and provide the update message over a network to the vehicle out-of-band from the communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Brian Petersen, Praveen Yalavarty, Ritesh Pandya, Joseph Paul Rork
