Patent number: 11554669Abstract: Techniques for communication between modules of a digital experience platform of a vehicle system are described. The vehicle system may be a ridesharing vehicle with a seat display module at each seat and an auxiliary display module that operates at a vehicle level. The seat display modules and the auxiliary display module communicate across a digital experience communication bus of the vehicle system. The seat display modules and the auxiliary display module change states based on conditions within the vehicle and convey system state updates across the communication bus to update a stored state of each display module vehicle-wide.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: Mahinthan Veluppillai

Publication number: 20170083709Abstract: In one aspect there is provided a backup server that may store data in one or more databases—each database being associated with a user and having a user ID associated with the database. Each database may have one or more partitions—each partition being associated with an entity. Each data element is stored in the database associated with the user from which the data element is received, and is stored in a partition associated with entities that are authorized to access the data element. Furthermore, the backup server may determine which entities are authorized to access the data, using a policy database, and store the data element in a partition associated with each authorized entity. Third-party entities may request data from the backup server by sending a data request.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Sean Bartholomew SIMMONS, Nagula Tharma SANGARY, Mahinthan VELUPPILLAI

Publication number: 20170083713Abstract: In one aspect there is provided a computer-implemented method for encrypting a data element. The method includes generating a symmetric key and encrypting the data element using the symmetric key. The method also includes identifying one or more entities in a policy database that are authorized to access the data element, and retrieving a public key associated with each of the one or more entities. The method also includes, for each entity of the entities that are authorized to access the data element, encrypting the symmetric key using the public key associated with the entity to obtain an encrypted symmetric key, and appending the encrypted symmetric key to a file storing the encrypted data element.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Sean Bartholomew SIMMONS, Nagula Tharma SANGARY, Mahinthan VELUPPILLAI

Publication number: 20160269418Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for managing and storing sensitive sensor data received at a storage server. The system includes a storage server and a sensor device. The storage server and the sensor devices are implemented using fog computing and fog networking architecture principles. The sensor device has a device identifier and stores sensor data, and is configured to send the device identifier and sensor data to the storage server. The storage server is configured to receive the sensor data, and to determine a sensitivity level of the sensor data. The storage server is further configured to store the sensor data in accordance with the sensitivity level of the sensor data. The sensitivity level indicates anyone of a high sensitivity level and a low sensitivity level.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2015Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Nagula Tharma SANGARY, Mahinthan VELUPPILLAI

Patent number: 8442447Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method, computer program product, or a mobile device configured for obtaining a mobility parameter indicative of a mobility of the mobile device. The mobility parameter may be further utilized to configure the operating state of the mobile device. The mobility parameter is obtained using a multi-sense approach, which utilizes both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Frequency Offset (FO) measurements. The mobility parameter is based on statistical parameters relating to the distributions of the RSSI and FO measurements. Various configurations of computer program products, mobile devices and systems are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Mahinthan Veluppillai, Nagula Tharma Sangary, Sean Bartholomew Simmons, Perry Jarmuszewski
