  • Patent number: 11606311
    Abstract: A system for determining the servicing needs of a vehicle. In various embodiments, the system includes a remote server and a vehicle control module of the vehicle. The vehicle control module includes a first communication interface to enable communications with at least one vehicle device via a network fabric of the vehicle. The vehicle control module is configured to receive status data, from the vehicle device, relating to a performance status or operational status of the vehicle. The vehicle control module further includes a second communication interface that enables wireless communications with the remote server. The wireless communications include sending status data to the remote server. The remote server is configured to receive and interpret the status data to determine if the vehicle requires service, and send a response to the vehicle. When service is required, the response may cause the vehicle to provide a service indication.

  • Patent number: 11104300
    Abstract: Remote devices have replaced keys as a means to access a secure feature of a vehicle. Remote door locks, starters, climate control, trunk openers, etc., have allowed vehicles to be more welcoming and easier to use. However, such functions often rely on radio frequency transmissions that can merely relay signals coming from an authorized device that may allow a nefarious user to access the vehicle or contents therein. By encoding sequence numbers and timestamps within an exchange, a vehicle may determine that an authorized user is too far away to be granted access to the secure feature, thereby denying access to the nefarious user implementing a relay attack on the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10952243
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to vehicle communication systems, in particular, toward contention resolution on a shared medium in vehicle communication systems. The present disclosure can provide a modified version of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard to handle physical layer (PHY), and data link layer's (DLL) media access control (MAC) of the wired communication links in the vehicle communication subsystem utilizing a shared medium and half-duplex mode. As a result, the modified MAC and PHY may provide fair access and deterministic latency for shared access to the medium of vehicle communication systems independent of the offered network load.

  • Patent number: 10917359
    Abstract: A vehicular communication device and method for communicating with a remote server. In various embodiments, the vehicular communication device receives a plurality of device packets from a vehicle device(s) via a vehicular communication network, including device packets having a first priority and device packets having a second priority. Processing circuitry of the vehicular communication device determines the respective priorities of the received device packets based upon the contents of the packets, and queues at least some of the received device packets (and/or informational packets derived therefrom) in accordance with the respective priorities. The queued packets are output to a remote server for processing. The vehicular communication device receives responsive content from the remote server, which may include safety content, a servicing notice and/or targeted commercial content.

  • Publication number: 20210006344
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices of the present disclosure are directed to providing seamless fault tolerant clock synchronization utilizing redundant reference clocks in a vehicle communication system. Redundant grandmaster clocks may be synchronized by utilizing clock signals sent between physical layers over a network, and derived clocks of network end devices may be synchronized using messages sent by the grandmaster clocks over the same or separate networks. The primary and backup grandmaster clocks may concurrently transmit synchronization messages to the network end devices. In this way, the grandmaster clocks may be synchronized to clock signals, and the network end devices may derive local clocks based on one, some, or all of the received messages transmitted over a network by the grandmaster clocks.

  • Patent number: 10882727
    Abstract: A water purifier includes a cooling water tank, a partition member mounted inside the cooling water tank and partitioning an inner space of the cooling water tank into an upper space and a lower space, a cold water pipe accommodated in the lower space; an evaporator accommodated in the upper space, and an agitator penetrating the partition member and disposed in the lower space. The partition member includes a bottom portion on which the evaporator is mounted and that defines a plurality of cooling water through-holes, and an outer wall portion extending upward along an edge of the bottom portion to define an evaporator accommodating portion. The outer wall portion is spaced apart from an inner wall of the cooling water tank to prevent ice formed in the evaporator accommodating portion from contacting the inner wall of the cooling water tank.
