  • Publication number: 20250029432
    Abstract: A vehicle information service for monitoring vehicle data from a vehicle data bus and providing a secure interface to allow devices on the vehicle to retrieve vehicle data for which they have authorization is described. The vehicle information service may organize the vehicle data into one more collections of vehicle data, where different collections may be authorized for different application authentication profiles and include different combinations of the vehicle data. The vehicle information service may also offer and restrict access to information about other devices or services on the vehicle. The vehicle information service may also provide control of various devices such as devices coupled with an access network on the vehicle or devices coupled with the vehicle data bus.

  • Patent number: 11871315
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile connectivity provisioning at an access network are described. The access network has a service connection to a service center that is external to the access network. The method includes receiving, from a mobile vehicle, an indication of a connection request for a device on the mobile vehicle. The connection request identifies the device using a media access control (MAC) address. The method includes generating a globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with the MAC address and transmitting a first message comprising the GUID to a network access terminal on the vehicle. The network access terminal redirects the connection request to the service center via a traffic connection. The redirected connection request includes the GUID. The access network receives an indication of a network service for the device from the service center; the indication identifies the device based on the GUID.
