Abstract: A method at a computing device for finding an association between data objects in a structure, the method including selecting a coordinate location from a grid, the grid defining locations within the structure; finding whether a data object having a data object type is located at the coordinate location; when the data object is located at the coordinate location, associating the data object with other data objects at the coordinate location; and when the data object is not located at the coordinate location: determining through an explicit association that the data object at a second location services the first location; and associating the data object with the coordinate location.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to determine whether a local area network (LAN) is secure. In some aspects, a method includes: determining, by an electronic device that is connected to a local area network (LAN), whether the LAN meets a security condition, wherein the determining whether the LAN meets a security condition comprises: determining whether an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a reference server in a security list is included in a range indicated by a subnet mask of the LAN; and determining whether a hostname of a device at the IP address matches a hostname corresponding to the reference server in the security list; and determining whether to initiate a secured network connection based on whether the LAN meets the security condition.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to control permissions of vehicle signals. In some aspects, one example method includes: receiving a permission map, wherein the permission map comprises a configured permission value of a permission element of a node in a vehicle signal catalog; and setting a permission value of the permission element of the node in the vehicle signal catalog according to the configured permission value in the permission map.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to communicates vehicle signals. In some aspects, one example method includes: receiving, at a server, a query for a vehicle signal; and transmitting, from the server, a response message comprising an identifier of the vehicle signal, wherein the identifier comprises a representation of a name of the vehicle signal and a definition of at least one other element of the vehicle signal.

Abstract: A method at a permission service on a computing device for managing permissions, the method including receiving a request at the permission service from a first application, the request comprising an identifier associated with an operating system for a second application and a permission for the second application to access resources; performing an action at the permission service based on the received request; and returning results of the action to the first application indicating whether the second application has the permission to access the resources.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to control audio output of a vehicle. In some aspects, a method is disclosed comprising: determining, at a vehicle, a current driving mode of the vehicle; determining, at the vehicle, a plurality of audio output levels based on the current driving mode and one or more preconfigured audio zone profiles; and controlling, by the vehicle, audio equipment of the vehicle to output audio according to the plurality of audio output levels.

Abstract: A method at a connector device, the method including receiving a first message from a peripheral device, the first message being received over a short range communications protocol connection utilizing a generic reading and writing service attribute profile; repackaging data within the first message into a second message at the connector device; and transmitting the second message to a network element, the transmitting utilizing a second communications connection, wherein the repackaging data populates a field within the second message with information about an attribute profile operation.

Abstract: In some examples, a system receives vehicle-associated information from a data source associated with a vehicle, and restricts access to the vehicle-associated information based on at least one privacy criterion selected from among a machine learning use criterion relating to use of the vehicle-associated information by a machine learning model, a vehicle motion criterion relating to a movement status of the vehicle, or a person identity criterion relating to an identity of a person in the vehicle.

Abstract: A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base (“FIB”) on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.

Abstract: A method at a user equipment to facilitate activation and splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method including starting, at the user equipment, a virtual subscriber identity module platform (‘VSP’) service on the user equipment; verifying VSP configuration information with a network server; upon verification, starting a data networking access point name (‘APN’) based on the configuration information on the user equipment; and setting a status indicator on the user equipment to indicate the VSP service is enabled.
