Abstract: A communication device and method for automatic profile configuration is provided. The communication device receives, from a server, a first profile including a first set of features or settings of the communication device. The first profile is configured to control the electronic device. The communication device uses a location sensor associated with the communication device to track a location of the communication device. The communication device determines whether the communication device is beyond a predefined distance from a predefined location. The communication device receives, from the server, ownership update information indicative of an event of an ownership change associated with the communication device. The communication device removes the generated first profile from the communication device, based on the determination that the tracked location is beyond the predefined distance and the ownership update information.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides data and connectivity management systems and methods. A router application and/or service endpoint resolver in communication with a telematics control unit (TCU) may support devices and enable content, video or music streaming. In an illustrative embodiment, the router application and/or service endpoint resolver may receive a data access request to a resource identifier. A data plan associated with the vehicle may be accessed. In turn, a determination may be made on whether the resource identifier is within a preset list of resource identifiers defined by the data plan. The request to the resource identifier may be processed when the resource identifier is within the preset list of resource identifiers defined by the data plan. When no data plan exists for the vehicle or the resource identifier is not in the preset list, denial of the request may be made.

Abstract: A system for determining a sterilization time includes, at least, a memory device and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, from at least one detector device located within the vehicle interior, a first intensity of ultraviolet (UV) energy from sunlight incident on the at least one detector device. In addition, the processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on the first intensity of UV energy received from the detector device, a sterilization time for sterilizing the vehicle interior. The processor is also configured to transmit the sterilization time to a user device, which may display at least the sterilization time and/or a progress toward sterilization.
