Abstract:
A key fob simulator for sending actuation command to a vehicle is discussed. The key fob has memory buffers, processors, and a transceiver that uses wireless communications to communicate with a backend cloud-based system. A RF transmitter of the key fob can transmit RF signals to Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module of the vehicle. A mapping module includes a map-calculating circuit to calculate map coordinates of the key fob. A security module can receive a rolling security key of the RKE module of the vehicle. The key fob includes buttons that can be pushed by a user of the key fob to generate actuation commands by the security module. Using the RF transmitter, an actuation command and the rolling security key can be sent from security module to the RKE module of the vehicle. The RKE module then executes the actuation command after validating the rolling security key.
Abstract:
A cloud based package transfer system is discussed that has a cloud based package-exchange-service hosted on a cloud based provider site. The cloud based package-exchange-service supplies servers and databases of retail websites with information regarding services for package exchange available to customers and their associated vehicles. The information enables a retail website to present a checkbox, the presented checkbox enables a customer at a checkout point of the purchase from the retail website to select an alternative package delivery option of delivering the purchased products to a target vehicle of the customer. The package-exchange-service receives purchase information from the retail websites and use purchase information to create database records for completed delivery operations. The package-exchange-service sets up the package delivery operation and implements a financial model that use the database records to calculate financial transactions between the package-exchange-service and the retail websites.
