Vehicle data monitoring and secure access interface
The patent US12073659B2 outlines a method and apparatus for managing vehicle data through a secure interface. The method involves monitoring a vehicle data bus to collect various types of vehicle data, such as location, attitude, and identification information. It includes receiving queries from applications on devices within the vehicle, which are authenticated using cryptographic keys linked to specific application profiles. Upon successful authentication, the requested data collections are transmitted to the querying device. The system also allows for user control over components of a network access system and cabin service devices, enhancing the interaction between the vehicle's data systems and user applications.
Additionally, the patent describes the capability to handle multiple queries from different devices, each requiring separate authentication profiles and cryptographic keys. This ensures that only authorized applications can access specific data collections, maintaining data security and integrity. The method supports continuous or periodic monitoring of the vehicle data bus, allowing for real-time data access and operational changes. The apparatus is designed to facilitate communication between various devices on the vehicle, ensuring that they can interact with the vehicle's data systems without direct access to the data bus itself. Overall, the patent presents a structured approach to vehicle data management, emphasizing security and user control.
