A smart alarm module includes a connector terminal adapted to provide not more than five conductive paths from a fused box and an audio device of the vehicle to the smart alarm module, a CAN bus interface adapted to make connection to the CAN bus of the vehicle to detect communication protocol, a microcontroller adapted to arm the smart alarm module in response to the information received from the remote controller to provide the smart alarm module judgment operation based on the received information, a sensor adapted to quantized shock waves applied to the vehicle and to feed a first activating signal to the microprocessor when the quantized values exceeds a predetermined value, a power supply regulator providing power to the CAN bus interface, microprocessor, and sensor of the smart alarm module, and an output interface adapted to sound the audio device in response to output signal from the microprocessor.

Systems and methods for localization and passive entry/passive start (PEPS) systems for vehicles are provided. A communication gateway in a vehicle configured to establish a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) communication connection with a portable device. Sensors are configured to measure signal information about a communication signal sent from the portable device. A localization module is configured to receive the signal information from the sensors and determine a location of the portable device based on the signal information. A passive entry/passive start (PEPS) system is configured to receive the location of the portable device from the localization module and perform a vehicle function including at least one of unlocking a door of the vehicle, unlocking a trunk of the vehicle, and allowing the vehicle to be started based on the location of the portable device. Each of the plurality of sensors are synchronized.

In some implementations, a system may receive an access request associated with an agent and the vehicle. The system may authenticate, based on an agent identification associated with the agent, the agent in association with providing the vehicle service. The system may send, based on authenticating the agent, an authorization request to a user associated with the vehicle, wherein the authorization request is sent to a user device associated with the user that enables the user to authorize the agent to access the vehicle in association with providing the vehicle service. The system may receive, from the user device, a user authorization that authorizes the agent to access the vehicle. The system may configure the vehicle to enable the agent to access the vehicle via a client device associated with the agent.

A vehicle-mounted device includes vehicle information detecting unit for detecting an on/off state of vehicle power, relay input/output unit for controlling an external relay configured to make a switch between a starting-disabled state and a starting-enabled state of a vehicle, and vehicle information-associated control unit for controlling the external relay based on a relay control command. The vehicle information-associated control unit controls the external relay based on an elapsed time since a change in the on/off state of vehicle power detected by the vehicle information detecting unit.

The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle key fobs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle key fob device comprised of a vehicle key fob that has a housing, a flashlight, a biometric scanner, a plurality of LED-illuminated buttons/emblems and a button that allows the color of the LED-illuminated buttons to change. The fob may have a plurality of buttons in differing embodiments, which are preferably illuminated via at least one LED that is positioned below each button. However, in one embodiment a singular large LED may sit below all buttons to illuminate the buttons simultaneously. The at least one LED can also produce any color known in the art, which can be changed by a user by pressing a color change button located on the side surface of the fob.

The present disclosure relates to user settings on a vehicle. More particularly, this disclosure describes a driver profile reset system and methods thereof to remove those user settings. In an illustrative embodiment, a driver may be presented with a pin pad on a head unit display. The user may enter their pin thereon. The system may authenticate it to enable user settings on the vehicle. Thereafter, the user settings may be removed or wiped from the system to prevent access to such information. The setting, for example, may be removed after the driver unbuckles their seatbelt and opens their door.

A lock communication system may include a server and a lock controller disposed on a shared bicycle. The lock controller may include a main control module and a network module. The main control module may control a periodic heartbeat of the network module and maintain a constant connection between the network module and the server. The lock controller may further include a power supply and a short message module which are connected to the main control module. The main control module may obtain electricity from the power supply, and enter a power saving mode when the electricity quantity left in the power supply is lower than a preset threshold, or otherwise enter a normal mode.

An authentication method includes: receiving, from a terminal of a user, a user ID for identifying the user and a target vehicle ID for identifying a target vehicle that the user tries to authenticate; determining whether the target vehicle ID matches a reserved vehicle ID for identifying a reserved vehicle whose dispatch has been reserved by the user; in a case where the target vehicle ID matches the reserved vehicle ID, transmitting, to the target vehicle, an unlocking instruction to unlock a door of the target vehicle and causing the terminal to present a message indicating that the user is allowed to get on the target vehicle; and in a case where the target vehicle ID does not match the reserved vehicle ID, causing the terminal to present a message indicating that the target vehicle is not the reserved vehicle of the user.
