Abstract: Systems and methods directed to URI-based host to mobile device setup and pairing are described herein. A uniform resource identifier (URI) may be received from a host device. A request for an application associated with the host device and the wireless device may be transmitted based at least in part on the URI. The requested application may be received. An association with the host device may be established based at least in part on the application.

Abstract: An automatic code generator that may be located at a server may generate code to handle crowdsourced data. The crowdsourced data may come from members of the public using automatic data collection technology on mobile devices, in one embodiment.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying an occupant of a vehicle as an authorized user and managing settings and configurations of vehicle components based on personal preferences of the authorized user includes detecting occupant characteristics from multiple sensors, determining whether the occupant is an authorized user of the vehicle based on a comparison of the occupant characteristics with a user database including registered user profiles, and automatically adjusting vehicle cabin and/or control components based on personal preferences of the occupant identified as a registered user.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, information may be collected from processor-based devices after the processor-based devices have already been deployed. Moreover, in some cases, the information that is to be collected, the collection sources, and the handling of the data may be specified after the processor-based devices have already been deployed.

Abstract: A method according to one embodiment includes the operations of configuring a host processor to receive a message filtering rule, the host processor associated with a vehicle; configuring a bus controller to verify authenticity of the message filtering rule, wherein the bus controller is programmed through an interface, the interface inaccessible from the host processor; filtering messages from the host processor using the verified message filtering rule, wherein the filtering is performed by the bus controller; and transmitting the filtered messages from the bus controller over a bus to one or more electronic control units (ECUs), the ECUs communicatively coupled to the bus.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, multiple navigation changes to a navigation system may be managed. The navigation system may receive and first set of navigation changes. Then, the navigation system may establish communication with a user device. The navigation system may then receive a second set of navigation changes associated with the user device. As a result, the navigation system may merge the first set of navigation changes with the second set of navigation changes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for communicatively pairing and securing an electronic device to a vehicle based electronic system. The pairing can enable the electronic device to seamlessly communicate with the electronic device and can provide infotainment to users of the vehicle.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, data may be collected from vehicles, and then reported to various subscribers with different levels of access privileges and pursuant different levels of security. In some embodiments, the data may be authenticated by a cloud service without revealing the identity of vehicle owner. This may provide enhanced privacy. At the same time, some types of the data may be encrypted for security and privacy reasons. Different information may be provided under different circumstances to different subscribers, such as the government, family members, location based services providers, etc.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, an automated system may be implemented in which alerts to drivers are automatically distributed and implemented at the driver's vehicle. Thus, in some embodiments, no involvement by the driver is needed and everything may be done in an automated fashion including filtering alerts and responding to alerts. In some embodiments, each vehicle need not provide its current location to the Amber Alert System, providing greater privacy in some cases.

Abstract: Applications are downloaded to a device from a cloud-based service by establishing trust with between the device and a host system. The host system and the cloud-based service have a pre-existing trust relationship.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to augmenting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features of a vehicle with image processing support in on-board vehicle platform are described herein. Images may be received from one or more image sensors associated with an ADAS of a vehicle. The received images may be processed. An action is determined based upon, at least in part, the processed images. A message is transmitted to an ADAS controller responsive to the determination.

Abstract: A multi-vehicle surveillance system includes vehicles that sense alarm-triggering events and activate various surveillance devices that can best capture data relating to the alarm-triggering events. The surveillance devices are activated based on the location and other information relating to the vehicle where the alarm-triggering event is sensed.

Abstract: A three-way trust relationship is established between a mobile device, Internet-connected vehicle system, and a cloud-based service. Access rights are granted to the mobile device from the vehicle system, such that the mobile device can securely connect to, and obtain status information and/or control the Internet-connected vehicle system, through the cloud-based service.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, in response to the detection of a particular event, an event data recorder may enter a secure mode. In the secure mode, data from various peripherals is collected over a secure channel and stored in a secure memory within the event data recorder. That data may subsequently be read out under secure conditions with an assurance of reliability while the system is in a secure mode, it may continue to collect data in a non-secure mode in parallel.
