Patent number: 11847871Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer-readable media for verifying operations of vehicle control systems are disclosed. During a test cycle, a processor may monitor control modules and/or sensors embedded in a vehicle for control system data, may generate and report fingerprint based on a combination of the control system data, and may report the fingerprint to a remote computing device. During deployment, the processor may monitor the control modules/sensors for control system data, may generate and performance results based on a combination of the control system data, and may report the performance results to the processor. The process may verify whether the control systems of the vehicle are operating as desired based on a comparison of the performance results with the fingerprint. The remote computing device may generate and send an alert or flag to a remote device if the control systems of the vehicle are not operating as desired.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: AIRBIQUITY INC.Inventors: Darrin L.

Patent number: 11004277Abstract: A computing device is connected to a motor vehicle's diagnostic port or communication port to acquire vehicle sensor data, for example from various pressure, temperature, oxygen, fuel and other sensors typically installed on a motor vehicle for other reasons. Acquired sensor data is wirelessly transmitted to a remote server where the acquired sensor data can be compared to a database of stored sensor data to identify the motor vehicle. Additional functionality is described that leverages uploaded sensor data. Sensor data may be uploaded to the server in near-real time, and/or buffered locally and uploaded by periodic or episodic, push or pull communication protocols.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: AIRBIQUITY INC.Inventors: Darrin L.

Patent number: 10859390Abstract: To provide remote services, including dynamic, interactive assistance to electric vehicle (EV) users, a central server is arranged for electronic communications with EVs (15) and with client devices (11). The server also communicates with at least one EV charging station network, which in turn communicate with individual charging stations (30). Remote services may include trip planning, locating charging stations, checking availability and suitability of charging stations, making reservations at charging stations, and updating plans en route. The server collects data from the EV and analyzes the data to determine various statistics. The system advises a user on readiness of the EV to complete a proposed trip before recharging the EV batteries. Client devices may include smart phones, computers, or a head unit in the EV. Application software programs are executable on the client devices to provide user interfaces for accessing the remote services and for communicating with the central server.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Airbiquity Inc.Inventors: Sheldon Fisher, Bheemrao Zhade
