A method and a system for theft prevention from an autonomous vehicle are provided. The method includes acquiring data from one or more sensors associated with the autonomous vehicle and analyzing, using processing circuitry, the data to determine whether one or more exterior systems of the autonomous vehicle are tampered with. An alert is output to an electronic device associated with a user of the vehicle when a whether one or more exterior systems of the autonomous vehicle are tampered with. Further, an alert is output the user that the autonomous vehicle is no longer safe to be operated when at least one of the one or more exterior systems tampered with belongs to a predefined category. Further, a signal is output to the vehicle to control one or more systems of the vehicle when whether one or more exterior systems of the autonomous vehicle are tampered with.

A vehicle can include one or more movably mounted cameras that are able to move to adjust a viewing angle of the camera(s) relative to a body of the vehicle. The camera(s) may be movable by virtue of being coupled to a movable side mirror, such that movement of the side mirror changes a field of view of the camera coupled to the side mirror. For example, the side mirror can be rotated about a rotational axis between a first position in which a field of view of the camera is directed in a first direction (e.g. toward a ground proximate the vehicle), and a second position in which the field of view of the camera is directed in a second direction, different than the first direction (e.g., outward from the vehicle or toward a door of the vehicle).

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, a method for mobile vehicle integration with a home automation system is described, the method including detecting, at the home automation system, an event associated with a mobile vehicle integrated with the home automation system. The method also includes performing, by the home automation system, an action related to the detected event.

Methods and apparatuses for providing security notification based on biometric identifier are described, in which one or more biometric information of a person may be utilized to permit or prohibit the person to access the vehicle. As such, the person may not access (or operate) the vehicle without satisfying security measures based on his/her biometric identifier generated from various biological information collected from the person. When the person is not authorized to access the vehicle, the security measures may transmit a security notification to an owner of the vehicle (e.g., a mobile device of the owner, an account of the owner) such that the owner may take appropriate steps in response to receiving the security notification. Such a notification may include the biometric information of the person, other information collected from the sensing component, a set of options for the owner to select from, among others.

A method of operation of a compute system includes: receiving a vehicle-related sensor reading in a real-time; determining in the real-time a theft level indicator for a vehicle based on the vehicle-related sensor reading; generating a theft alert based on the theft level indicator being a priority event; analyzing the vehicle-related sensor reading with a theft risk model to generate the theft alert when the theft level indicator is a non-priority event; and communicating the theft alert for displaying on a device.

System for detecting vehicle body damage caused to a body of a vehicle, wherein the system comprises numerous sensor devices arranged in connection with an exterior surface of the vehicle body for monitoring, registering and alerting on-line, in real-time, when and if a vehicle body damage is caused to the vehicle.

An automobile tracking and notification device and an associated communication system provide numerous safety and convenience features that ease the stress of daily operation of an automobile. The device provides functionality for monitoring the location of the vehicle and providing real-time location updates to the user; detecting when the vehicle is being towed or stolen and providing real-time alerts to the user and/or to local authorities; detecting when the vehicle is involved in an accident and alerting nearby authorities; and providing information and guidance relating to diagnostic trouble codes.

A vehicle state presentation system includes a terminal device including an ear mounting unit that is mounted on an ear of a user, and a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the terminal device, and a first controller that causes the first communication unit to transmit a notification signal indicating that the vehicle detects a state of the vehicle other than a predetermined state to the terminal device, and the terminal device includes a second communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the vehicle, and a second controller that causes an output unit to perform a notification to the user based on the notification signal received by the second communication unit when the terminal device moves out of a predetermined distance range in which the vehicle is included.

A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing 5G network-based information exchange across Internet of Things (IoT) enabled vehicular devices for amplified dynamic security. A 5G enabled amplified security manager is provided to implement enhanced amplified dynamic security for parked vehicles. The 5G enabled amplified security manager is provided with each enabled parked vehicle providing a 5G ad-hoc network. Information is dynamically collected and exchanged between the 5G enabled amplified security managers. When abnormal behavior is detected based on analysis of the collected data, the abnormal behavior information is sent on the 5G ad-hoc network triggering protective actions in co-ordination with all the devices in the network and provides security amplification.
