20140282827 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURE DATA TRANSFER PERMISSION HANDLING - A vehicle-based system includes a processor configured to receive policy table updates issued from a remote server. The processor is further configured to update a local policy table based on the updates. The processor is additionally configured to receive a request from a remote application for data access. The processor is further configured to determine, based on the local policy table, if the data access requires user consent. The processor is also configured to determine if required consent is stored in the local policy table and provide data access to the remote application based on stored required consent. | 09-18-2014 |
20150077275 | Method and Apparatus for Automatic Location Check-In Control in a Vehicle - A system includes a processor configured to receive information relating to a vehicle state, designated to act as a trigger for a location check-in process. The processor is further configured to evaluate the state to determine if a trigger condition has been met and access a designated check-in site, when the trigger condition has been met. Also, the processor is configured to obtain user location information. The processor is additionally configured to provide the user location information to the check-in site for location updating. | 03-19-2015 |
20150243283 | DISAMBIGUATION OF DYNAMIC COMMANDS - A first computing device registers a first grammar that is stored in a persistent memory of the first computing device and that is a system grammar of the first computing device. The first computing device further registers at least one second grammar associated with an application stored in at least one second computing device. Input including may be received. The first grammar is selected for the command upon a determination that the input is specified as a command in each of the first grammar and the second grammar. | 08-27-2015 |
20150293509 | IN-VEHICLE HOME AUTOMATION INTEGRATION - A nomadic device may be configured to connect to a vehicle computing system over a local connection and to an automation service over a wide-area connection, receive a message from the vehicle computing system over the local connection requesting a home automation action to be performed, and responsive to the message, send a command over the wide-area connection to an automation service to request the home automation action. A vehicle controller may be configured to connect to a nomadic device over a local connection, the nomadic device configured to connect to an automation service over a wide-area connection, receive input to a user interface of the vehicle computing system requesting performance of a home automation action of the automation service, and responsive to the input, send a command over the local connection to request the home automation action. | 10-15-2015 |
20150312317 | VEHICLE PROXY LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT - A device may register a mobile application with a vehicle-based computing system (VCS) using an application proxy configured to manage nomadic device connection to the VCS, and utilize the application proxy, by the mobile application, to present a mobile application user interface via a human-machine interface (HMI) of the VCS in accordance with an HMI status received from the VCS and indicative of a level of mobile application HMI access. | 10-29-2015 |
20150363210 | VEHICLE DOWNLOAD BY REMOTE MOBILE DEVICE - A nomadic device may be configured to receive an indication of a software update to download over a local data connection to a vehicle computing system, download the software update from an update server over an approved wide-area data connection unavailable to the nomadic device when located within the vehicle, and provide the software update to the vehicle computing system for installation to the vehicle. A vehicle computing system may be configured receive, from an update server, an indication of a software update, provide the indication, over a local connection, to a nomadic device configured to download software updates when connected to a wide-area data connection unavailable to the nomadic device when located within the vehicle, and receive the software update, downloaded when connected to the wide-area data connection, from the nomadic device over the local connection. | 12-17-2015 |
