Application: Road usage charging (RUC) determination and reporting techniques (Patent ID: US20240193568A1)

Qualcomm Inc. has filed a patent for systems and techniques related to road usage charging. The disclosed method involves a vehicle computing device (VCD) receiving an encryption key from a charging entity, determining road usage charges based on charge policies, calculating total usage charges, encrypting the charges and associated information, and transmitting them to network entities for verification. The encryption keys can be associated with homomorphic encryption schemes like AHE, FHE, or MPC, and charge policies can include parameters based on vehicle location, time, and other factors to determine road usage charges accurately.

The patent also includes methods for verifying vehicle charge information at network entities, where encrypted total usage charges and associated information are compared for verification. The encrypted information can include distance traveled, time spent in charged areas, or odometer values. The apparatus for verifying vehicle charge information includes a processor system that receives encrypted charges and information, compares them for verification, and transmits the results to the network entity. The encrypted information is used to calculate the total usage charge, and encryption keys associated with AHE, FHE, or MPC are utilized for secure transactions. This patent aims to streamline road usage charging processes by ensuring accurate calculations and secure transmissions between vehicles and network entities.
