Patent number: 12645708Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for accessing information associated with an organization hierarchy. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method includes transmitting, from a device to a server in which multiple group models are stored, an access request to access a first group model of the multiple group models. Each group model of the multiple group models is associated with a different organization and includes multiple group data structures, multiple group type data structures, and multiple group member data structures. Each group model is associated with group hierarchy information that indicates a hierarchy associated with the multiple group data structures associated with the group model. The method further includes receiving, at the device and based on the access request, first hierarchy information associated with a first group model. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2024Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: DEALERWARE, LLCInventors: Charles “Chip” Christopher Young, Frederico Araujo Albino, Lester DeKay, Nimesh Kapadia, Stuart Kilgore, Vincent Musgrove, Erika Ochoa Garcia, Katie Tillman

Patent number: 11463246Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for controlling access to vehicles in rental, loaner, shared-use, and other vehicle fleets. Some of the present systems, devices, and methods use encrypted virtual keys that can be relayed to a vehicle computing device via a user's mobile device. Such virtual keys can be command-specific such that successful use of a virtual key results execution of a predetermined command or group of commands, and further commands require one or more additional virtual keys with the additional commands. Others of the present systems, devices, and methods provide tools: for provisioning or initial pairing of vehicle computing devices with corresponding vehicles, identifying and permitting a user to select locally available vehicles, prompting vehicle computing devices to retrieve pending commands from a server, and/or various other functions described in this disclosure.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: DEALERWARE, LLCInventors: Allen Darnell, Matt McMillan
