Publication number: 20240144746Abstract: A method for mobile device control of vehicle security features that includes monitoring the status of predetermined vehicle conditions of a vehicle. In response to detecting the activation of one or more of the predetermined vehicle conditions, the method also includes monitoring the vehicle to detect an execution of one or more preset authentication verification signals for the vehicle. In response to detecting no execution of any preset authentication verification signals for the vehicle, the method also includes, based on the predetermined vehicle settings, sending a security enablement command to the body control module (BCM) of the vehicle via the embedded software, and based on the security enablement command, enabling one or more security schemes via the BCM.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventor: Joseph P. Zizzadoro

Publication number: 20240017703Abstract: A method for automotive brake control that includes monitoring the status of predetermined vehicle conditions of a vehicle via embedded software. In response to detecting the activation of one or more of the predetermined vehicle conditions, the method also includes monitoring the vehicle to detect in-vehicle selection sequences. In response to detecting an in-vehicle selection sequence by a user, the method includes, based on the in-vehicle selection sequence, sending a brake actuation command to an anti-lock brake module (ABM) of the vehicle via the embedded software, and based on the brake actuation command, actuating a brake control scheme via the ABM.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventor: Joseph P.

Patent number: 10855039Abstract: An illustrative electrical harness for bypassing a vehicular security module includes first, second, and third connectors, and electrical conductors. The electrical conductors electrically couple a first pin of the first connector to a third pin of the third connector, a second pin of the first connector to an eleventh pin of the third connector, a first pin of the second connector to a fourteenth pin of the third connector, and a second pin of the second connector to a sixth pin of the third connector. When the first connector is mated with a connector of a first communication bus of a vehicle and the second connector is mated with a connector of a second communication bus of the vehicle, the third connector is configured to bypass the vehicular security module by providing access to a diagnostic port of electrical modules coupled to the first or second communication buses.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Inventor: Joseph P. Zizzadoro

Patent number: 10759328Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for configuring automotive lamp illumination control are provided. One example method includes, at a computing device, generating a graphical user interface for configuring at an automotive lamp illumination pattern. The graphical user interface includes user input elements and is displayed by way of a display device. An input command is received by way of at least one of the plurality of user input elements. The input command corresponds to the at least one of the user input elements. A message is transmitted to an automotive lamp control device by way of a communication path including a first communication port of the computing device and a second communication port of the automotive lamp control device, based on the received input command. The message is received at the automotive lamp control device, and an action is performed in response to receiving the message.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Inventor: Joseph P.
