Abstract: A vehicle determines that a vehicle alarm system has been engaged and determines a local context applicable to the vehicle alarm system. The vehicle obtains an alarm system configuration mapping applicable in light of the local context. The vehicle changes sensitivity of one or more sensors associated with the alarm system based on the configuration mapping.

Abstract: Upon detecting an absence of a user inside a passenger cabin of a vehicle, an object inside the passenger cabin is classified as one of preferred or nonpreferred. Upon classifying the object as preferred, a sensor is activated to monitor an environment outside the passenger cabin based on determining the object is visible from outside the passenger cabin. A priority level for the preferred object is determined based on data from the sensor, wherein the priority level is one of high or low. A vehicle component is actuated to reduce the priority level based on determining the priority level for the preferred object is high.

Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to select a scanning rate for a first sensor of a vehicle based on at least one of data related to a current time or data related to a location of the vehicle; instruct the first sensor to run at the selected scanning rate; in response to receiving data from the first sensor indicating a newly present object, turn on a second sensor; and then record data from the second sensor. The second sensor has a higher power draw than the first sensor.

Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for providing a vehicle-and-drone-based security service. In an example method, a first area of interest and a second area of interest associated with a structure may be determined. The first area of interest may then be determined to be monitored at the vehicle. The second area of interest may also be determined to be monitored at a drone associated with the vehicle. A route may be identified for the drone to travel along, where the route is configured for the drone to monitor the second area of interest. The drone may then be launched via the vehicle to travel along the route to monitor the second area of interest.

Abstract: A system receives vehicle state data reported over a connection established with a vehicle and determines a loss of connection with the vehicle. Responsive to the loss of connection, the system performs an analysis of a plurality of predefined causes of incidental connection loss, based on vehicle state data previously reported compared to predefined values indicative of causing a lost connection. Responsive to the analysis indicating no predefined cause of incidental connection loss being present, the system triggers a vehicle alarm state protocol.

Abstract: A monitoring system for a vehicle includes a plurality of surveillance sensors in connection with the vehicle and configured to capture sensor data proximate to the vehicle. A position sensor is configured to detect a location of the vehicle. A controller determines a surveillance mode for the vehicle based on the sensor data and a plurality of security factors associated with the location of the vehicle. The controller activates the surveillance mode in response to the security factors and monitors the sensor data. The controller further filters a plurality of security events from a plurality of benign events and selectively outputs alerts in response to the security events and the benign events.

Abstract: Upon identifying an authorized user approaching a vehicle, vehicle locks are controlled to permit the authorized user to access an authorized area based on a user authorization. Permitted vehicle features within the authorized area for the authorized user are identified based on the user authorization. Upon receiving a user input selecting one permitted vehicle feature, the selected permitted vehicle feature is actuated based on determining that a state of charge of a battery is above a charge threshold. Upon determining that the state of charge of the battery decreases below the charge threshold, actuation of the selected permitted vehicle feature is stopped. Then an engine is controlled to charge the battery based on the user authorization.

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein are configured to provide security to a vehicle. A system includes a point measurement device inside a space of a vehicle. The system identifies a threat if points that differ from a calibrated set of points are localized in an area of the space.

Abstract: A charge level of a sensor battery providing power to a sensor in a vehicle is determined. A charge depletion of the sensor battery is determined based on the charge level. A recharge rate to recharge the sensor battery is determined based on a time elapsed on a previously traveled path, a current charge level, and the charge depletion. Upon activation of the vehicle, one or both of a propulsion or a vehicle battery is actuated to recharge the sensor battery at the recharge rate.

Abstract: While a vehicle is in a minimal power state, a first sensor is activated based on a location of the vehicle within a monitored area. The vehicle is transitioned to an on state based on detecting an object via data from the first sensor. Then the vehicle is operated to block an exit from the monitored area based on identifying the object as an unauthorized object.

Abstract: Upon identifying a plurality of target regions for a monitored region, priority levels for the respective target regions are determined based on a user input. Vehicle sensors that are available to monitor the respective target regions are determined based on the priority levels for the respective target regions and parameters for the respective vehicle sensors. Based on the available vehicle sensors and the priority levels for the respective target regions, a pose is determined for a vehicle that optimizes monitoring of the target regions. The vehicle is operated to the pose.
