Patent number: 9635006Abstract: A cloud based system for a package exchange with a vehicle service is discussed. The system can have servers having processors, ports, and databases and a security module running on the processors to receive a virtual key and one of a request for package exchange with a vehicle service, data, or both, from a package delivery vehicle. The virtual key has a first shelf life and is used for authentication of communications from the delivery vehicle. The security module can receive a security token having a second shelf life from a user. The security token is used for verification of the user and target vehicle. After the first authentication and in an overlap window of the two shelf lives, the security module can send the one or more commands to an on-board actuation module of the target vehicle to cause an electro-mechanical operation in the target vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Continental Intelligent Transportation Systems, LLCInventors: Seval Oz, Sudeep Kaushik, Yao Zhai, Francisco Fernandez Nares, Adrian Ramos Aguayo, Tammer Zein El-Abedein
