An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for optimizing course understanding. The method, computer program product and computer system may include a computing device to receive fueling location data and vehicle identification data of a vehicle from a radio frequency identification (RFID) transceiver from a plurality of fueling stations. The RFID transceiver may receive the vehicle identification data at the RFID transceiver from a cryptographic RFID transponder as part of the vehicle. The computing device may receive user authentication signals authorizing a plurality of fueling stations from an authorized user of the vehicle. The computing device may determine from the fueling location data, the vehicle identification data, and the user authentication signals one or more fueling patterns. The computing device may detect a fueling location deviating from the one or more fueling patterns send an alert to an authorized device.

A disclosed system includes a mobile application operative on a mobile device to receive user selected options for limiting drive access to a vehicle when the user is not physically present with the vehicle but wishes to allow service personnel access and limited drive functions. The disclosed system allows user selection of the options, then generates an instruction set for controlling one or more drive capabilities of the vehicle based at least in part on the user selected options. The system establishes an encrypted channel between the mobile device and a telematics control unit of the vehicle. The system controls drive capabilities of the vehicle via the encrypted channel such that the mobile application user can provide remote access for locking, unlocking, ignition, and further restrict drive functions based on time, date, distance, geo-fence options, and other criteria.

Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for securely creating passwords for performing various keyless operations upon a vehicle. In an exemplary method, a computer receives a request for creating a password for a phone-as-a-key (PaaK) device. The computer determines that the PaaK device is present inside the vehicle and that the vehicle engine has been placed in an accessory state or a run state by an authorized PaaK device located in the vehicle. The computer further determines that a passive entry passive start (PEPS) key fob is present inside the vehicle. A prompt is provided for entry of a password. The computer checks to determine if an entered password has been already assigned to another PaaK device. If unassigned, the computer links the password to the PaaK device and authorizes the entered password as a valid keyless starting password for the vehicle.

A system and method for connected vehicle control are provided. The system may include a communicator configured to connect, though a wireless communication, with a user application of a user terminal within a predetermined sensing distance, and perform a first authentication and a second authentication, a vehicle speaker, a body controller configured to control the vehicle based on a remote control signal transmitted by the user application, a start button formed inside the vehicle and configured to generate a start-on signal by pushing the start button, and a controller configured to control a start of the vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles and discloses a vehicle unlocking authentication method and apparatus based on a terminal device, including: receiving an authentication request sent by a terminal device, to obtain a device fingerprint and a first authentication code; searching for a prestored service key corresponding to the device fingerprint, and calculating and obtaining a second authentication code according to the device fingerprint and the service key; determining a third authentication code and a fourth authentication code based on the first authentication code, the second authentication code, the device fingerprint, and the service key to complete the vehicle unlocking authentication by the terminal device. Implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the safety for transmitting data during the process of authentication between the vehicle and the terminal device.

Systems and methods for performing a vehicle operation. One system includes a plurality of transceivers associated with a vehicle and a vehicle access system. The vehicle access system is configured to receive, via each of the plurality of transceivers, signal strength data associated with a portable communication device using a Bluetooth signal received at an antenna associated with each of the plurality of transceivers, and compare, for each of the plurality of transceivers, the signal strength data with a threshold signal strength value to perform a localization of the portable communication device generating the Bluetooth signal to determine whether the portable communication device is located inside or outside the vehicle. The vehicle access system is also configured to perform the operation based on whether the portable communication device is located inside or outside the vehicle.

A system includes a processor configured to generate a new access key, responsive to a vehicle shutdown. The processor is also configured to connect to a previously identified user wireless device. The processor is further configured to deliver the new access key to the user wireless device, responsive to connection to the wireless device and locally store a copy of the new access key in a file designated for reference for a next-access attempt.

Aspects of the invention are directed to techniques for mutual authentication between a passenger that has requested a transportation service and a dispatched vehicle for providing the requested transportation service. A user device associated with the passenger verifies the dispatched vehicle using a vehicle access token generated by a transportation service platform and sends a secret key to the dispatched vehicle. The dispatched vehicle uses the secret key to recover passenger biometric information from a passenger secret received from the user device through the transportation service platform, captures passenger biometric information on-site, and compares the recovered passenger biometric information and the passenger biometric information collected on-site to verify the passenger.

Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise methods and apparatus for a password-protected integrated circuit. According to various aspects of the present invention, the password-protected integrated circuit may comprise a cryptosystem that is encoded with a password seed and used to authenticate control data prior to being transmitted to a sensor and/or a sensor control circuit, wherein the sensor and/or sensor control circuit responds to authenticated control data.

An entry and starting system in an object has a control and transmission unit configured to use a radio link to interchange at least one radio signal and an ultrasonic link to interchange at least one ultrasonic signal with a portable electronic device. The control and transmission unit sets up a radio link to the portable electronic device and uses the electronic device via the radio link to stipulate at least one relevant parameter for a subsequent ultrasonic link. The control and transmission unit is additionally configured so as, following the stipulation of the parameters, to set up an ultrasonic link according to the previously determined parameters. The entry and starting system checks an authorization of the portable electronic device, the portable electronic device being detected as authorized if the at least one relevant parameter of a subsequent ultrasonic link is concordant with the at least one stipulated parameter.
