Methods and Systems for Processing User Inputs to Generate Recommended Vehicle Settings and Associated Vehicle-Cloud Communication

摘要

Methods and systems for communicating with a server of a cloud system used for managing access to a user account having a profile that includes settings for a vehicle. The system includes a wireless communication system interfaced with a computing system. The computing system of the vehicle is configured to connect with the server using the wireless communication system and credentials for the user account are transferred by the computing system to the server to enable the server to access the profile of the user account and enable the computing system of the vehicle to use the profile. The computing system of the vehicle is configured to implement one or more settings for the vehicle upon making the profile active on the vehicle and while the profile is active on the vehicle, is configured to monitor use activity of the vehicle. The use activity of the vehicle includes inputs received by interfaces of the vehicle. Data regarding the use activity of the vehicle is communicated to the server for identifying patterns from the inputs. The computing system of the vehicle is configured to receive data from the server that is used to make a recommendation for a change to a setting in the vehicle. A display screen of the vehicle is provided with a message that includes the recommendation for the change to the setting. The message is provided via a user interface control that enables acceptance of the change to the setting. The computing system generates an instruction to make the change to the setting and the change to the setting is implemented by the vehicle, and the change to the setting is further added to the profile.

主权项

1. A method executed by a server of a cloud services system that is configured to interfaces with vehicles, comprising:
receiving, by the server, a request to manage a profile for a user account; identifying, by the server, a vehicle type from the profile; receiving, by the server, a plurality of settings for the profile that identifies a vehicle having the vehicle type, the settings being stored on a database of the cloud services system that includes the server; transferring, by the server, one or more settings of plurality of settings to the vehicle, the transferring being via wireless communication transfer over the Internet; receiving, by the server, communication from the vehicle regarding inputs made to systems of the vehicle during use of the vehicle while the vehicle is associated with the user account; determining, by the server, based on the inputs made to systems of the vehicle that at least one of the plurality of settings of the profile is to be updated; and sending, by the server, a recommended setting to the user account, the recommended setting is configured to be applied to the vehicle when used with the user account upon receiving acceptance of the recommended setting.
