  • Patent number: 12140442
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for aggregating informational reports. In one implementation, at least one processor may be programmed to receive an informational vehicle report identifying a detected event; store the report in a database in association with a first cell; query a second cell within a predetermined distance of the first cell; and determine whether the second cell is associated with the detected event. When the second cell is associated with the detected event the processor may aggregate information from the first and second cells to provide an aggregated cluster and generate an event report based on the aggregated cluster. When the second cell is not associated with an information cluster associated with the detected event, the processor may generate the event report based on the stored informational vehicle report. The processor may then transmit the event report to one or more vehicles.

  • Patent number: 12069132
    Abstract: An application is installed on a computing device from an application package. An origin of the application (e.g., a managed installer for an enterprise, a reputation checking service) is propagated to files written to a storage device of the computing device as part of the installation, such as by writing origin information to the storage device as metadata associated with the file. The origin information for a file, in conjunction with a policy on the computing device specifying one or more trusted origins for applications on the computing device, is used to identify whether a particular action can be taken with and/or by the file. These actions can include, for example, execution of an application from an executable file. If the origin information for a file indicates an origin that is a trusted origin specified by the policy, then the action can be performed.

  • Patent number: 11903061
    Abstract: A communication device includes a communicator and a processor. The communicator communicates with external devices. The processor controls connection. While at least one of the external devices is assigned to a main external device which is a main connection target, the processor switches between a first period and a second period. The first period is a period to allow communication with an auxiliary external device which is not the main external device. The second period is a period not to allow communication with the auxiliary external device.

  • Patent number: 11861348
    Abstract: An update control system and method of a vehicle controller are capable of determining whether a user's vehicle is being updated, based on a state-of-charge (SOC) change rate pattern indicating a degree of SOC change reduced while other vehicles are performing the corresponding update upon determining whether to perform an update using an OTA service. The system and the method re-extract a SOC change rate pattern by using a change in a SOC value measured at the beginning of an update in the corresponding vehicle to re-calculate a remaining SOC value. Thus, the success rate of a controller update using the OTA service and the update performance rate in which an actual update is in progress are increased.
